haha, magic trick  . But I can show you if you want.

A magician ought never reveal the secrets of the guild .

If it puts you out, don't worry about it.

I was joking ... you know.

It's easy. Just follow this steps:

1. Make a spline in WB.
2. find DITCH_HEAVY_01 and assaign
3. make circle around hill ( you need a small hill)
4. click it and find  'Colourize' option
5. what you will see:



select lines circled in red, and make them touch each other.



in this way. now select each line and set Alpha to 0 ( it's above)



just like that. the lowest line should be black

apply and it's done

Damn, I was too slow.. 

@ceph: You're using good old XP, haha 

It's a good way to create cover. Just like that, you can easily add negative cover to a big open plain by using street textures and put them the same way like what cephalos posted.

My post was in reply to cephalos, not you. You just posted before me.

So is this form of cover destructible? I was never aware of this type of cover before... So this will be exclusive to your map, right?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

This type of cover is indestructible, because the texture always stays there, even if a shitload of artillery was dropped on the little snow hill.

Fantastic Havok physics, ey?

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Yeah. But there might be an opton to destroy the cover. IIRC, artillery craters provide yellow cover, so if the texture (which is invisible) was destroyed, there might be the option that the green cover is replaced by yellow cover where the arty hit. Going to test it this evening.

you gonna love new Kalach 

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

Are there any screenshots yet?

[cephalos]

oh, curious, huh? 

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I found a way to create frozen lake

Using SPLATs, exectly NM_SAND----> DITCH_SAND2

quite good effect, don't you think?

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

wow that looks nice. if you want to make even nicer! Use the heightmap editor make a hole in the lake put water into it and then make the terrain higher again. If a mortar hits the lake there will be a water splash instead of a simple crater.
