Creating deserts in the sub-tropical climate
Posted: 23 Nov 2004 17:24
This is a feature, not for the game itself, but rather for the map creator.
I found it almost impossible to create a clean desert with the map editor that comes with the game.
I don't know of external programs that allow you to create more effectively maps, but I'd like some new patch feature to do something that looks very simple, but that might be hard to code: To put desert tiles there where you wanted them to be. The map editor as it is, instead generates random desert areas within a near zone.
Shall it be possible that upon clicking with "desert" selected, the clicked tile either:
> with 1 click it becomes half/desert, by clicking once again, it becomes full desert. (sort of what happens with planting trees: each click adds a tree)
> by clicking on a tile, sets it to full desert, and the surrounding 8 tiles become half/desert.
I know nothing abouy coding, so I cannot give any idea of how could this be done.
Thanks
