Don't want to lay down your textures with the editor? Wish you could draw something in your terrain? Want more handle or precision with placing the textures? Now you can! :D



Also, you can make null terrain! (Which lives up to the old SC1 null tiles in the editor with how broken it is!)

Note: I tried, and it is black in-game. In the minimap it shows up as the default (first) texture.

What do the masks do? They are just an image with 16 shades from black to white, where black means the texture will be fully transparent (i.e., nonexistant) and white means the texture will be fully opaque. Note that the editor makes every mask add up to be a solid white square, but this program makes no effort to check and see if too little or too much texture is anywhere.

Here is a sample of what a full mask is like.

You can add anything your favorite image editor can draw!

Looks great but..I dont mean to be a downer man, but Terrain is a bit of an art-form! Precision comes with patience~
EDIT: WOOPS THIS IS USEFUL

Squared terrain on SC2? Who said you can't!?

Eventually, this happened:

and I thought, what's more awesome and less imaginable than squared terrain?
Triangular terrain of course!

Then I thought, what's MORE awesome than triangular terrain???

It just imports/exports the texture masks ... It's a specific file in the map (can't remember off the top of my head what it is called.)

What's wrong? what's not opening?
Is it the map or it's not opening your imported texture masks?

Error when starting the exe:

Huh?

You're missing that file. Try googling it and dling it. When you do that put it in your mask importer folder (along with the exe), if that doesn't work then put it in c:\windows\system32 if THAT doesn't work then you need to register the file. To do this, while on your desktop press winkey + r and type in the box "regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX" without the quotes. If you're on Windows 7 then you need to run the command with admin rights.

Forgot about that one. Normally I at least put it in the readme ... :P (All of my credits and readmes are always rushed.)

Thanks to Corbo for keeping this topic while I'm away.
