First of all if your going to be repainting the terrain later then its not worth painting paths down right now and you may also want to do them with a road spline too, will have far more detail

Sure, just gives me a better idea of where to place things in order to produce a sensible looking area. I'm repainting the terrain regularly to keep up with the deformation anyways.

Ah yes the random tool, thanks for reminding me!

Damnit, I should have known that any destroyable static should be avoided...

Haha, no it's actually some trench statics shoved into the ground - glad it produces the desired effect though!

I'll take a look into that now, thanks!

EDIT: This is pretty hard to follow without the images, the basic idea is to avoid letterboxing in the render window, right?

So I don't think the static I used (sandbag_wall_destroyable_5m) is explicitly listed on the restricted statics thread, although it should have been obvious not to use it anyway.

Probably not the best tut but has the basics: Transport Tycoon Forums ? View topic - How To: Generate Superb Heightmaps
