Custom Terrain Masks - how do I make 'em
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:47 pm
Hi
SbuilderX works great -- but I'm having trouble making water and blend masks. The tutorial is a little vague.
This is what I do so far:
-Get a background
-Use File>Make Map>From Background
-Find the resulting .bmp in the SBuilderX Work folder
-Edit it (in MS Paint) by adding white blocks to stop unwanted sections appearing. Works fine.
-In SBuilderX - Compile and bingo.
I tried adding black in MS Paint where I wanted water, as per the instructions, but I get a wierd effect where it looks as though the land has flooded!
How do I add a black water mask -- at what point do I add this to the original .bmp, what do I do with the file then>
Help please?!
