what would you want ?

I haven't actually looked closely at the new commands, I was under the impression I'd need someone to make/find things for me to use.

hehe well I tried it and it didn't work so far
you'd need a background image to use for the skybox.. I'm trying one now but have a few spacy ones (I had 3 a few months ago which would suite fine) but I'm doing something wrong I think. What was your latest version so far?

You should have the same version of the map as I do, unless you changed it. I was holding off on making changes until the patch came out.

Also #terrain x x does not change the active province. So you need a #setland or #land command before #skybox.

hmm I think the rest of the provicne commands work though since there where opponents in there (and every troop needs to be modded in)

ah I see it.. #landname 1 "Perch of the Nephilim"
#terrain 1 640 #batmap "empty" #skybox "spacebackground2.tga"
#land 1

I modded stuff before the land command.. I'll change that first and test

Johan great work, I have a question on the other implemented map commands.

1. In previous post you mentioned you could always play in the arena and change the color of the map
In the release note (#groundcol, #rockcol, #fogcol).
these are mentioned.. but a shot showed a pinkish ground.. how are these commands actually used. (I'm gonna try just putting some colors instead of rock/ground.)

2. Which options are there instead of #batmap "empty"?
will #batmap "arena" give the arena? and which others are there?

wait.. I might be getting it wrong.. are (#groundcol, #rockcol, #fogcol). different commands which should be used like this: #groundcol yellow, #fogcol purple etc etc. or do they work with a 3 number code?

Aezeal · #**560** April 4th, 2009, 07:30 AM

I just tried the following (figuring this would be it)

#groundcol 0 0 1
#rockcol 0 0 1
#fogcol 0 0 1

this made the mountains in the back very very blue (not the one totally in the back (I think that is a skybox pattern) but the rows before that) battlefield didn't seem especially different darkish green, maybe darker than usual
