Flat Terrain Needed in DFX editor calling Terrain Makers?

[.DareDevil.]

Can anyone here or does anyone kow anyone who can help all of us mappers out and make a flat terrain in Jungle,Desert, and Snow for DFX cause its hard to make good maps without a good flat terrain and theres not one!!!!!!

everyone makes good maps on the custom terrains. there are allot of flat places on the terrains you have to search a little.

when you find a spot you have to tile em and build your base.

when i start building my maps i put a start player marker and a vehicle in the map, save it, start the new map and search the area in the vehicle for nice flat places to build on.

i always find allot. the snow terrains have the most flat places

Yea but still some people dont want to spend time with tyhat irritation trying to get a non flat spot flat with tiles when we could easily make a terrain so no one gets irritated! 2 of the green ones and i think 2 of the dessert have enough for cqb maps id say but still i like flat terrains lol !!!!!

i think this is working fine for everyone, cause they haven`t made a flat terrain for dfx lately.

i heard you can make your own with photoshop and save em as yourmap.trn then pack it in one of the pff files LOCALRES.PFF i believe.

just make a batch file with the text

echo off
cls
echo.
pack localres.pff yourmap.trn /force
echo.
echo.
pause
del yourmap.trn

when done creating your map and batchfile copy them in your dfx folder and start the batchfile

there are only 3 pff files where the trn files can be packed

locares.pff or language.pff or resource.pff

browse them with the pff extractor you can find on this site.

maybe this is helpfull to you, if it dont cost too much time :-)

There is a (almost) flat map in this download.

However, if you make a map using a "mod" terrain ,anyone who wants to play the map would also have to install the same "mod" terrain before they can play it.
If you post the map, make sure that the "mod" terrain is available for download also or you'll have alot of unhappy people who can't play your map..

Thanx for pointing that out Dave i meant to mention that and Thanx for finding a flat terrain for me! As long as its big enough for a DFX CQB of my size and i will continue searching for more terrains for DFX and let anyone know if i find any flatter than what dave found here!

Thanx Again Dave!
