Hey all i have been using World Forge/ World Maker and everytime i create a map it doesnt show forest..just the ground looks all mossing or covered in leaves..but no trees? whats the deal with that? i check random objects before i create my map also any help?

World Forge doesn't create statics so no forest with that program, Worldmaker does create forest but I remember that one of the forest indexes worked while the other did not. Try the "mixed forest" and see if that helps.

So i tryed both forest and mixed forrest? and still nothing... why doesn it amke forrests? what do i do if it doesnt..is there a program to do it?

Check in your scripts folders, there was a forest that worked but I cannot remember which one. It should have the same name as the color index box.

so i can only generate 1 kind of forrest? that is no good.. i mean can anyone post exactly what color i need? or any chages to make the forrests work?

Ok, i have tryed all 3 forrest types on my map: forest,mixed forest, and Rough Forrest. All 3 have not produced any trees on my map.



this is what my terrain.xml says:
<Terrain Name="Forest" ImgIndex="64" Hash="0x40" Tile="196" Red="0" Green="110" Blue="90" BaseAltIndex="80" />
<Terrain Name="Rough Forest" ImgIndex="65" Hash="0x40" Tile="196" Red="0" Green="130" Blue="90" BaseAltIndex="80" Adjust="-1,1" />
<Terrain Name="Mixed Forest" ImgIndex="66" Hash="0x40" Tile="196" Red="0" Green="74" Blue="35" BaseAltIndex="80" ArtKey="Forest" />

is any of this messing it up?

Only one of those has a forst, the one with the ArtKey tag.

Check to ensure its value has a corressponding file with it. Ensure those values have weights greater then 0.

The Mixed forrest has the art tag.
<Terrain Name="Mixed Forest" ImgIndex="66" Hash="0x40" Tile="196" Red="0" Green="74" Blue="35" BaseAltIndex="80" ArtKey="Forest" />

but what do you mean by "Check to ensure its value has a corressponding file with it"

By weight he means in the scripts like this

<RandomArt Name="Tree grey, green leaves" Weight="8">

If it is "0" then there is no chance the tree's will appear.

Another thing to try is to make sure your "Random Art" box under the "Map Destination Directory" is checked.

I have the same probleme here... but instead of the forest, its the jungle (...and btw, every single tile set that ive put in

Ive looked down in the corresponding xml and all seem normal. The weight is higher than 0, the terrain.xml got an ArtKey tag for the one i try and i cheked the random art box under the map path... put nothing more!! all my land is empty of art!

OMG! i feel so stupid! i was looking for where it said, <RandomArt Name="Tree grey, green leaves" Weight="8">

and i couldn't find it... and then i remembered that i think something is missing..i was missing the WHOLE art def folder! no wonder nothing was working! it works now tho Dev Vip! thx for all your help!

Heehee Thats ok just happy you fixed the problem.

You check the "Random Art" box?
