Thank you my friend, I will Make use of the shallow cliff piece and slope one as well.. I have a question though. (A) can you make a MAP water piece semi transparent? ( I have a lava and now a green water set as well if any one wants them). And (B) I have noticed that I can see see evil grid lines from afar. Let me tell the tale, my 3 day sand set tale, I will cut to the chase and get to the important parts:) using all my new aquired knowledge of SoM , now vast I must say. I began using Todd's Snow set as the foundation for my sand pieces. I made a 30 piece set of all the basics, and they looked like............... Crap, I shall say in resepct. the pieces did not line up correctly like stock SoM outdoor set pieces. the slope pieces , you could see gaps between sections. Gross and unaceptable. and the textures were too perfect... Todd's textures for his snow were perfect.. I began to study the problem.... After a dozen yoo-hoo's I noticed his set was completly custom from the "Grass" stock SoM set, but by using the whole 256x256 texture it made for a perfect translation of your texture, (Great custom work by the way Todd ). I studied the actual MSM file and then the TXR to notice that the stock set only used one quarter of the texture (yko01.txr) and the MSM gave specific X and Z axis on the txr. Everyone still with me?
I then made my whole set out of customs of stock "Grass" set. and I kept the stock MHM data in tact giving the new sand pieces a 3-d look like the regular set, and PERFECT!!!!! the all lined up and look like Da-Bomb. Only problem is that I think due to the color of my sand. From a distance you can see light grid lines, they disapear when you approach them.. On my transitional pieces the grass is fine. only the sand can you see the lines, so I know it has something to do color. Please kind friends I have spent days on this set, is there a fix for this .I don't want to darken the sand too much or else it will look like plian ol dirt.
