| - | Since the first draft of this terrain tutorial page came out, we did not have the luxury of having the awesome CATE Configurable Auto Tiling Enchancer program by Skyfire. We used to hand tile the terrain's and I can assure you its not something you want to do. Now we use CATE and do the same things in couple of minutes than took us YEAR(s) before. However if you are interested here we have the old tiling method help documents listed: Read Manfred "Schumi" Nelle's excellent HowToTile.doc which explains the terrainview usage and basic tiling instructions and tips, along with good screenshots. (You need word viewer or something to see the .doc format). download Schumi's how to tile guide, here. Download T-Bone's Tiling Guide, [[http://tactical.nekromantix.com/f4/downloads.php|here]]. | + | Since the first draft of this terrain tutorial page came out, we did not have the luxury of having the awesome CATE Configurable Auto Tiling Enchancer program by Skyfire.
