How much RAM do you have
Whats your processor speed
What graphics do you have

Also dont run any other programs when using WB, disconnect from the web etc

[Troll Ranger]

Intel ® Pentium ® CPU 2.80GHz, 2.80 GHz, 504 MB of RAM
I have a graphics card built into my motherboard, dunno what it is.
Hope thats what you need. Thanks everyone for helping me so much

[m@tt]

They look perfectly capable of running WB. Again make sure that no unneccesary programs are running, including things like MSN, the internet is disconnected and that your virtual memory is a minimum 1024MB. Also when in WB, try to turn off things you dont need to see, such as clouds, skybox, macrotexture, soft water etc.

Your RAM is a bit low. WB can easily suck up 800 MB

At that point adding virtual memory doesn't really help. Sure, it prevents the program from crashing, but it will be slow as turd.

Yeah grove works fine for me too, or at least, it does what it's supposed to do. I'd have much preferred some kind of forest brush though.

Mh, I'm having a bit of a problem with the Gondor castle bridge, every time I try to move it towards the Gondor Gate, it dissapears off the survace of the map and I can only see it when it's actually off the map. What do ya think's wrong?

BTW I'm trying to build a BFME version of Fornost.

[m@tt]

Sounds unusual, could you post a screen (press the PrntScrn key). I presume your doing it manually, because if you were editing the co-ordinates you may have made a mistake. Also check the height it is at.

[Uruk King]

problem solved, btw be expecting sceenshots soon!

How do you take snapshots of a map?

And how do you get animals and civilians to wander around your Map?

[Mathijs]

To take a screenshot, just press Prnt Screen and paste it in paint. At least, thats how I'd do it.

[m@tt]

Animals are found in Civilian >> Misc Natural
Civilians are found in Neutral >> Units I think or Civilian >> Units
Just place them and they wander automatically, I think you assign them to team Neutral.
Good to see you considering them, nice touch, don't forget some ambience sounds too.

[Uruk King]

Right, thanx for the advice, and heres a snippet of the fortress to come.


Behold Fornost.

So be prepared for more scrrenies and for something big!!

[Olorin]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Although (sorry I'm being picky) Fornost was located in the North, which was a snowy, forested area, so it would be good if it were a Winterish environment. Just my opinion, but the fortress looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[Uruk King]

Have no fear, Olorin, the final map design will be as wintery as you imagined it. (Hopefully not too much!)

[Olorin]

So that was part of the plan.....nice.

[Dre@mer]

It doesn't look bad at all. Remember to use not more than 14 tree types otherwise you'll encounter problems.

[Uruk King]

If it's the same for no. 1 then I've gotta revise the whole bloody map.

And a question fo mh, when the map has been delared finished, how do you upload it on to the game? And I'm want to see if Master Dain is interested in my map and use it as a skirmish map......

Send it in a personal message to me, or email me (look on my profile). I'll look at it, see if its good enough, make necessary changes etc.

Best way to check the trees is to test it in game. If there are to many, heres a tip. To replace a load of trees, select one tree, press ctrl+m to select all on the map, then go to edit >> replace selected and choose a tree that is already in use. This way you don't have to manual delete and replace all the trees.
