Mirroring a map

Isn't there a program that u make 1/2 or part of the map, and then u can mirror it over to the other side? Because quite frankly, I dont want to spend double the time making the map. And it would make it exactly perfect, anyone have any apps for it?|||Look in the useful information sticky. There are links to some tutorials, and some of the height map instructions tell you how to do it in photoshop or similar programs.|||http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=19498

Decals Flicker Off

Does anybody know why certain decals flicker off at certain viewing angles? Also how to stop that from happening?



Thanks|||Working with the Tundra textures ?

Pain in the *** these decals. They sure like to go wonky and make placing them tough.|||In all honesty there is no way to stop this. I have the same problem with one of my maps. All I can suggest, is not to use too many of the ones that do that, and use more of the others. It is a shame that this game has so many faults with it, and the editor. :( :cry:

[WIP] Stripe

Ok heres my map. Its called Stripe. It is 1x81. 2 players. Asymmetrical

And for some reason it crashes the game when it loads. It stays on the loading screen for 15 min and then it crashes. all i get is a "Forged Alliance has stopped working" message. I have Vista.

gap around bottom of skybox

When I test a map in-game and swivel the camera to look toward the horizon, there's a black band between the bottom of the skybox and the top of my terrain. How can I fix this?



Do I need to raise up all of my terrain? Are there any tweakable settings to 'lower' the skybox? And if I need to raise the terrain, is there an easy way to automatically add some amount of height to everything?



Thanks for the help.|||If you figure this out please let me know, I've had to artificially create a mountain range around every single one of my maps in order to have an effective scene set for every movie I've worked on in SC. The black band sucks and yeah I wish the sky box rendered much lower but alas it does not.|||This link might help I'm in the process of trying to fix this too...

How can I mirror props? and water issue

I made a map thats mirrored instead of rotated.

I have half the map done with props and need to copy/mirror+rotate it now.



Also have a problem with the deep water when zooming in and out, and it looks ulgyer when zoomed out then in the editor.



http://www.bluestrike.be/tempspul/supcommap.jpg|||I wonder about how to mirror props and decals too. I made a map like that. I ended up copying props/decals and manually placing them on the other side.
