Thanks man, really struggled last year, now when its some new updates and you made this video, this really helps! Thank you. and i see people have problems adding new textures and stuff, hope you can make a video on that later :)
Thanks brother for introducing me to mapmaking! I‘m soon working on a real life based island wich is i think called the Chan-Jira island a bit south of Japan in the Marianatrench.
I cant find the mods folder. I looked through everything and even got to the version folder however there is no folder thhat says mods. I only have flowEditor, gameplay, gameTelemetries, levels, replays, temp, and vehicles.
I don't know how, but im getting lot's of missing textures if i try to spawn house for example it's full of red squares with no material text. I thought i did it like in tutorial though newer version i think.
is this outdated and no longer working? I see the mod says outdated and there is another template map available. I tried your other tutorial and when I do new level via the f11 menu the new level never actually loads past the loading screen. I feel stuck.
I can only make 1 map using this method, when try doing this whole thing for the 2nd time to make another map, it merges the two files together somehow.
It's been a while since I've messed with maps, but I believe that's because of the filenames inside the various json files and cs files. You have to make sure you change EVERY reference to the map's name or else it will use the existing one. It's a royal pain, frankly.
Do you know how i can import the terrain types and their behaviours into my map? I'm struggling to figure it out, i want to get the dirt from East_Coast_USA into my custom map folder
I'll need to play with that a little. I have forgotten how, but I seem to think you have to go into the game install folder and grab the textures out of the ZIP file, then put those same files into the map folder/ZIP of the one you're working on. Then, you add the texture to the terrain painter somehow. Sorry, trying to remember when not near the game.
@@davidinark I did that, it seems the terrain data is stored on the main_materials.json file, I couldn't figure out how to get it working. The furthest I got was making the names appar but when I went to try and use the textures they'd ever be missing or completely black. If you could make a tutorial I'd appreciate it greatly
@@davidinark That is kinda hard to explain here in a typed message, but you have to get the corresponding materials for said material, usually that will consist of 3 main materials, copy those materials and place them in the level of your choice, then you have to use note pad++ and copy that material info from the source to the destination, then you have to change the level name from the source to the destination, again using notepad++, press control H. I will make a video on this topic soon, Terry Martin is by far the smartest person on UA-cam when it comes to materials....
When I press f11 to open the world editor, my UI gets hidden and nothing shows up. However, this doesn't happen on other maps such as Italy and West Coast USA. I can't edit my map at all because the UI is invisible.
@@davidinark Didn't do anything. The world editor does open, because weird shapes and objects only visible in the editor are visible, it's just the UI that is invisible.
great turotial, you really know where to clarify things when they get a got confusing. i found my self getting lostthen you can in off script and filled in the blanks. it is a shame there is not a faster way. to be fair there is really no way to do what you did any faster, so 15mins to start a new map. could be simpler. ohh well. one thing im not sure is do i need to the the pack and unpack dance for every edit or is it only when i want finalize the map. is there an easy way to save a work in progress?
so ive did everything right as far as i know but when i click on the spawn button to load up the map it just takes me back to the main menu but other maps still load up fine. im not sure if you still reply to comments on this video but id appreciate the help.
Heya! It's been a while since I've done any playing around in mapmaking, so I'm not going to be much help I'm afraid. Off the top of my head, though, the main thing I would check is the filenames in all the JSON files you have to edit. Make sure they match EXACTLY the filenames and folders you created. I think maybe something is miskeyed and the system can't find what it's looking for. That's a VERY rough guess.
Can’t get this to work on new update I did this to my map three months ago worked then the new 0.24 update it don’t work anymore hope you didn’t loose my map have to build one with this new updated map
Once you have mesh roads selected, point to the map area. Hold ALT (and KEEP holding ALT) and click your left mouse button. then, move your mouse a little to make part of the road while still holding alt. Click again to drop another node. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.
Unfortunately, I think this is probably outdated after the most recent updates. Not quite sure about that because I haven’t gone into that map in quite a while. I will take a look and if I can find something that jumps out at me, I will follow up!
This was a huge help starting me out, but I accidentally deleted all the textures in the map (somehow) so I had to restart. I made really bad progress in a few hours that I can probably be done in 10 minutes now I know what I want to do with it. I would still like to learn how to make road lines if there is a video you can recommend for that using this specific map-creating pack.
i got my car floating 30cm off the ground u know how to fix :D restarted everything and i don't know it drives well, but physics collision is 30cm off :D
Yeap! Use the terrain painter to paint something else on top (dirt, sand, rocks). If using a mesh road, the new terrain should end up under the road. You could also lower the terrain beneath the road.
hi thanks for the tutorial helped a lot but now i want to share the map with a friend, but he cant see anything only the original terrain...and i doesnt have idea how to solve it...please heeeeelp...i will share in the repo when its finished
Heya! I believe you can ZIP the folder in your mods directory and send the ZIP file to your friend. As for posting to the repository, I'm afraid I don't have experience with that.
I've lost my best friend on accident nearly. I want smulate the crash by this app for court defance. Are there any senior to help me for 15 seconds simulation? Please help me.
Grate, now there goes my week. Time to no life making maps now

Thank you for this!!! Just started on a map project recently and I felt so lost. You do such a good job at explaining everything.
You can also press alt+u to get rid of the UI. Then you can just screenshot with windows+prtn scrn if that's easier for you.
Haha, funny seeing you here too. Not sure how I ended up here.

That is very weird! When your UI is hidden, does pressing ALT-U do anything?
ctrl + shift + f11 maybe as well?

Hello, I pressed f11 and the editor did not show up. Any help?
Try Shift-f11. If on a laptop or multimedia keyboard, you may have to use Fn-f11. Also, make sure game is in windowed mode.
Thank you so much, it worked!
How would I go about deleting the surface and creating a brand new flat one?
Sorry took so long to respond. You probably figured it out by now. If not, though, I will make a video that covers this! Let me know.
