I'm having a few problems with FinalSun_DTA.

As from my topic, you probably know its DTA 1.10


SO...I've been using FinalSun_DTA, but whenever I add a river, about 8 squares of river appear and if I placed it....UBER SHORE ERROR!
I can't use prt sc however so therefore I can't take a FinalSun screenshot to show.

To quote a very good old cartoon...

no seriously you are of course placing the pieces incorrectly together. As you obviously have noticed FinalSun_DTA uses actual set pieces for it's rivers and they run together similarly to how the dirt roads of normal TS do. As in there are 8 direction with tile sets that allow for change in direction. However, here you lack a Marble Madness mode to show that this piece can run into that piece without overlapping any sections and not leave any sections un-covered.

I would post some screenshots of my own showing correct placements and what not but I can't be bothered to do that right now. All i can say is that just as long as you don't see any hard straight edges of anything then it should be good.

DTA maps take a lot of effort and planning to do. And you have to do one section at a time. Like you can't place cliff A and then place cliff B a ways away and expect to connect them. Thus you have to work start from finish on sections like cliffs and rivers otherwise you will likely find yourself redoing parts of the map as you couldn't connect areas because of the limited tile set types. Which is why I haven't finished a map for DTA yet. I have messed around with it a good bit though.

I remember that show, and your post is cute, and its RIGHT!

But I see, from now on, I shall listen to others here on mapping. roll.gif
Okay sorry about that, but is there a Marble Madness_DTA or is MM just compatible with DTA's version?
