I spent 6 hours (from about 8 to 2am) doing work, and I've come to a few conclusions:
1- Making custom terrain is retarded. Why is everything based on randomisation?
I do realise that not many people have the time to place every square foot of space, but god damn is it hard to get what you want from drawing in GeoControl, or in CryEngine- it's pretty nuts.
1a- When moving terrain.raw into CryE, it's like terrain on steroids, it's about 5x as big as it needs to be, and forget re-sizing it, it's not a congruent scale - so all the valleys and pits lose their edge.
1b- Also, I have the annoying task of making an island out of I and 8. Not the most aesthetic combo.
2- After 3-4 hours, CryE crashed. My file became corrupted and I lost everything. I suppose that's my own fault for not saving separate files.
3- The materials editor is a little whacky. I can only seem to use 5 materials.. Sand, coal, pineneedles, limestone and grass.
I think the scale I'm working on is waaaay too big.
I think I'm going to work on a tiny island.
In any case- I feel like I got nothing done tonight.
F--- my computer for not working with this..
