I knew I should have waited for your next vid... I actually snow 'painted' my mountains myself in GIMP... Did a pretty good job too but it took way more time than lowering the 'snowLevel'. Just gonna pause with my shit and wait for you to finish this tutorial series! Massive 👍 from me on this video!
Haha! Oh no! Well at least you spent a bit of time perfecting your brush stokes? Ill hopefully have the next video done for this weekend. Lot of painting in the next one 😜 Thanks for the like and the great feedback Mr.
@@TallmanBradGameplay that's a shame. Making custom maps and random generation just doesn't work for town/city layouts. Do you know if you can convert maps from A19 to A20? That would fix the issue being able to use something like KingGen that allows control of nearly every aspect of map design, then converting it to work with A20. Also thanks for the reply.
I'm afraid you can't convert from a19 to 20. That also adds the problem of the block changes that came about in a20. Amazingly kinggen is still good for map making (using the fix) allowing you to draw city size and location, but no tiles or 'parts'. There's still a chance Teragon may have further work done to it and hopefully get a public release. We'll just have to wait and see.
On mountains? I'm not sure. I suspect it will but you'd need some poi's up there to find any loot. I think you can check the loot stage from your inventory. Could be worth having a walk up there and check? Let me know if you test it. I'm curious to find out too now!
They added some things to the config files. I am trying to Flatten the Peaks on mountain country down. Any Suggestions?

@@TallmanBradGameplay Thanks Its Western America So I have alot of these Spikes in the map. Having to shrink down an actual hight map so it will fit into the game. I may try using a Flat USA Map and Just Adding the Mountains like in your video. :)

Thanks Medusa. This tool just gets better each time I play with it.

How to edit towns and poi's?
That's a different story. Really you can only do that with the built in world editor at the moment.

Does the snow level count as a snow biome in terms of loot stage?

Smooth level will soften sharp terrain. You might be better to soften mountains using the blur tool in your photo editor though.
