:payne:

1) Is there any way of modifying the terrain into a linear shape? You know, something like pressing 'Shift + Drag mouse'.
Not yet.
2) Is there a way to smooth edges automatically so they do not end that straight?
Increase the 'Falloff' value of your terrain brush.
3) Is it me or the water terrain is buggy?
Too vague to be answered precisely. ;o
4) How do we use Foliage? What do we use it for? XD
Foliage just generates little plants and rocks on the map. They don't screw up building and the only thing to really edit is the density. Other than that just press the button.
You can find this tool on the drop down menu "Data", you can generate terrain foliage for the entire map.
You must meet a minimal setting of terrain quality (sc2 graphical settings) to actually see the foliage, even from inside the editor.

5) What is the maximum of cliff levels we can obtain and how do we do so?
Using the up/down cliff tool can get you 3 layers, but essentially you could use the terrain height tools to make different levels, and block off the cliffs with the "not walkable" doodads (not sure of the name).

Thanks in advance! =D

I think I can answer a few of these.
3. It's not buggy but it is kinda weird to use. For me it started out at some height that interfered with the main playable terrain. All you have to do is lower it a bit when you click on the edit properties button. Not really sure what you mean by buggy though.
4. Foliage just generates little plants and rocks on the map. They don't screw up building and the only thing to really edit is the density. Other than that just press the button.
5. I've been trying to figure this out, so far I've only been able to get 3 playable layers.



None.

I've read about 5 levels.

3) Lately, my water has not been working at all for me. There shows no texture when I place water (or lava). There is only an empty green outlined square. Any suggestions for fixing this?
4) I don't think the foliage tool works under the terrain module/layer (not for me at least), but on the drop down menu "Data", you can generate terrain foliage for the entire map.
5) Using the up/down cliff tool can get you 3 layers, but essentially you could use the terrain height tools to make different levels, and block off the cliffs with the "not walkable" doodads (not sure of the name).

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.
[2026-7-26. : 3:14 pm]
ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
