Hi There,

I just wondered if there is any way to create a perfect gradient with the terrain tools?

I have created a mountain road and no matter how I try I cannot get it flat. In addition I am struggling to fill in the land at the edges of my roads, using the road build kit, with anything like accuracy on the sloped areas.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

No, not that I'm aware of. The Battlefield 2 editor has a cool spline tool to lay your roads out with, and when you click a button, "Snap to Spline'" and it snaps the terrain under the spline to the spline to whatever width you specify.

What I do in Giants editor is terrace my slope, rough at first, going by increments of 5, then i break it down to increments of 1 at a time. You do this by using the replacement tool, and specifying the height in the Replace window. Example, you base height is 100, and your slope tops out at 140 (I usually have my track or road already laid up into the air and bring the terrain up to it.). Set your replacement to 105, do an area to a size where you have plenty of width, then go to 110, 115, 120 ... etc. Next go between on at a time, like 105, 106, 107, ... etc. Then you smooth, raise, lower and repeat until the terrain and your road or track match how you want. As to the roads from the road kit, lower the road into the terrain to get a match, not the other way around.

So no easy way then.... I have been hashing around in a similar manner but making majority of my slopes look "rocky". For my smooth slope I place my road, use a big brush at 0.4 Value and draw the slope so it just covers the road and then smooth it and subtract at low value to get control until the road appears again.
