I have begun creating a new map from stock landscapes.

One of the landscapes -- the name escapes me at the moment -- includes an industrial plant next to a river. Across the river is a fence which stretches the length of the map.

Is there some way to remove the fence programmatically, or is that feature something I have to work around.

Thanks in advance if you reply.

I had the same problem when I made a mission on that map.

If I'm right your problem is when you select the fencing and hit the delete button nothing happens but there is a way to delete them.

Ok, this will take some time but if you select each fence and give it a name (use something unique to that map like your name), once you have named each fence save the map in the editor then open the world.xml and do a search for the name you gave the fence, highlight it and delete it from there.

Each static prop will have a opening <unit name tag and a close tag </unit>

It will look something like this:

<unit name="shanty_fence_05m" unit_id="191" name_id="none" cover_off="false">

<position pos_x="6969.8105" pos_y="-25836.102" pos_z="309.38348"/>

<rotation yaw="0" pitch="0" roll="169.00075"/>

</unit>

Delete the entire prop starting from <unit name and ending with </unit> you need to do this with each fence you named.

Hope that helps,

John

That doesn't work.

It appears the fence is embedded into the map. Won't let me select.

It's okay.

I built a cat walkover it. It will look funny, but is adds another dimension to the map.

It should be selectable, make sure you are in the correct sub-level of the static layer.

From the static layer press Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2 then see if you can select the fence.

For one of my missions I removed the entire fence so it is possible.

Oh well, at least you have found a workaround.

I managed to work the map as far as starting as a coop game. There is a problem.

The map has no detail. The buildings and the ground look smooth, like a photo was taken with high contrast film. Everything else works fine as far as I can tell.

Below is what the map looks like:

From what I can see in your picture it looks like you are not loading the correct textures.

When you make a new map you need to list all the textures needed for that particular landscape and what ever buildings you are using, all textures are defined in the texture_scope.xml.

Take a look at some of my maps to see how it's done.
