Morphing Tiles?

jerry32j · Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 1:25 am Post subject: Morphing Tiles?

Let me explain. I've seen some maps where the road tiles have been morphed. For example: Recall the look that the 3x1 straight road tile/doodad has. Now think of it as individual cells. Cell 1, 2 and 3. So I've seen how people have changed it from 1|2|3, to 1|3. Can you explain to me how this was done or if it requires a new tile to be modded in, let me know. (Also let me know if you need a better idea of what I'm talking about.)

ahh yes. the road trick. Smile

This is done easily through the copy and paste feature of finalsun under Edit. Simply select copy (or hit ctrl+c)...then select the area you wish to copy by clicking and pulling over the area which will be outlined in red blocks then click again. Then go to paste (ctrl+v) and now when you go over the map, the stuff you just copied will show. now take the 2 outside parts of the roads and paste them together leaving out that middle section and there you have it...the smaller road.
