i was wondering how you form terrain like the terrain that came with 3dgs. hills canyons ponds ect. also i run extra ver how do i make good water effects? mabey not reflective but partly see through. and how would i go about making AI for a dinosaur so it would wander. drink and eat when it needs to? ive read the totorial and done the practice and it dosnt cover all this much. THX

I can help you with the terrain question. Make a map in a paint program that is in grayscale. Black is low terrain, white is highest, grays are somewhere in between. Make sure you save it as a .bmp. In MED, click File->Import->Import Terrain from Pic. Then select your map from there.

I have found that even though it gives the option to use a .tga file, it does not work correctly. Bitmaps, however, work just fine.

There are a couple of cheap-reflection-water-type tutorials here...

uh i hate my win 98. it crashed something in the gamestudio file. thx for trying that will come in handie when i get a new comp. ps i dont mind downloading plugins. oh also how would i do ragdoll physics with extra edition? thx

oh sorry i forgot to mention the question that matters the most is the terrain one

also how do you get a modle from med to wed?

Save the model as .mdl file in the folder where your level is.
Open your level in WED and click on Add Model and select the model you want to add to the level.

Btw: Please use the "Edit" function and maybe read the basic tutorials.

should i ask the terrain question in a diff forum?

Wasn't your terrain question answered by sweetpickles?

Be more specific, please:
What did not work?

So you run the Extra edition, but which version? (A5, A6 ?)
