[Joge117]

[xShadowsHunter]

[ToxiCsamsung]

[Haddockxyz300]

@ToxiCsamsung

[wertos22]

[Loltoone]

@wertos22 : Could you rephrase your question?

[wertos22]

@Loltoone My man dont want to walk in the trech but already fixen thnnxxx more tutorails plz couse u have best tutorails on whole youtube!

[TheStrategyGaming]

@Loltoone i guess he's trying to say that the infantry can't get in so he's asking if there's a posibility of it to be too deep .....

[Eshayzbra96]

@Loltoone *they won't walk in*

Just correcting him..

[liamdude4]

I've got a question, your cell size looks smaller than 1.0, is that just me being blind? Coz I can't get my trenches to look decent, they just always have jagged edges :S

[Loltoone]

@liamdude4 : As far as I know the cell size is 1.0. What do you mean jagged edges?



[liamdude4]

@Loltoone well when I make it, unless it is DEAD straight then LOADS of it pokes through the trench :S, only at the bottem and its like shards of it. I checked the settings for the heightmap editor and they are all same as yours so I guess its probs just me not being very good at it :)

[jc007100]

how do u add to map like i rite click and nothing happens

[elementbambaby123]

why does when i hold down h and scrool it zooms in? plz help

[IngameReport]

hey nice tut but i have a question with wich tool i can make that the buildings are looks destroyed ?

[Loltoone]

@IngameReport : when you are in the object editor, on the right side pane, when you have the object (building) selected, scroll down the pane and look for Edit State. It's a small looking button, when you get into it, add a new state and select damage or whatever it's called. This will bring up a sphere with 3 axes of movement which you can move around accordingly.

[IngameReport]

@Loltoone thanks ;-)

[IngameReport]

@Loltoone thanks alot

[ltevanlee]

Thanks for the great tutorials, you really saved me a lot of work trying to find out how to make them myself.

[JokucFromBFME]

Alright call me stupid but what game is this for?

[Loltoone]

@JokucFromBFME :  Company of Heroes.

[JokucFromBFME]

@Loltoone

Thanks dude, I searched some information about it and I find the game quite intressting. Maybe I'll start making maps too. Because I am ..what should I say.. hm pro at making maps on the game battle for middle earth =) and this looks similar :p

[supermonster54]

Now my only problem is that i cant place anything in the map building,trees etc.Could someone help me with this problem.

[thehumor]

can u make ur own levels in COH????

WHERE

[commando2000talker]

very nice, i've always looked for the trench walls :D

[mcfschmolz]

i searched the trenches for looong time.....

BIG THX!

[whoreallygivesacrap]

I put my settings exactly like yours for the trench but the sides are not straight up and down like yours so the sandbags don't fit in right. Any ideas? thx for all your tuts they are awesome.

[Loltoone]

By sides I assume you mean the terrain. The terrain is not always 100% flat/smooth or whatever you want to call it. As I stated in the tutorial there will be parts of the terrain sticking through your trench walls. The best you can do is minimize how noticeable they are. You can also play around with the terrain height-mapping around the trench by setting the value to a 10 or 9 depending on how you need to re-shape your trench.

[Fridabeekman]

@whoreallygivesacrap

Most splines aren't as wide as the long trench he used.

I covered ugly bits up with unbreakable objects.

[Hannibalektr]

Oh, and thanks for these great tutorials BTW, I also appreciate you helping me figure it out. Your a very good person and I appreciate you.

[Loltoone]

Thanks!

[Hannibalektr]

that didnt work either. This thing is really buggy. The "Tools Toolbar" is also not resizable, but runs off the right side so I can't see numbers at the right of the sliders or half of the buttons on the right. Can't see the scroll bar on the right of the tools toolbar either. Re-installed and fully patched.

[Loltoone]

Hmm... odd... I don't know what to tell you about not being able to see some of the toolbars. However, the only other thing I can think of is make sure you have the object *checkbox* at the top checked to place a spline.

As for not seeing the scroll bar... I am not sure on that.

[Loltoone]

Press your Spacebar then try.

[AAAZ2A]

without you, ive never figured out howto do this, thanks!

[JOINtheZOMBIEgroup]

thanks really helpful. I used it to make a world war one style map that is just loads of trenches :D

[irock1445]

for some odd reason world builder is not working..... i open it and open my map and then what pops up is an eror report... i reinstalled but nothing... this all happened after i put in 2 mods. i got ride of them both but it still wont work any help?

[Loltoone]

Make sure you RelicCOH.module file is loaded first... to do this... in your COH directory rename all .module files with a 'Z' in front of them except for RelicCOH.module.

[Loltoone]

If it is grayed out... then you have not added an object to the "Default" Object list under the Object Editor mode. When you add an object to the list then you can either check or uncheck the default check box.

[shadowsXelit]

i cant move the wall up on the ground it is under the ground the hole time.

[Loltoone]

Make sure the spline is selected... hold 'H' then click it and move the mouse up. If that doesn't work then you are doing it wrong.

[MrBatstory]

HAHAHAHAH lotr

[cooltikinerd]

is this of lotr bfme rotwk???

[Loltoone]

No this is not for Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth Rise Of The Witch King.

[ulittlecow]

[Loltoone]

[ulittlecow]

[Flagman001]

Awesome guide ;) Easy to follow :) thank you for saying how to make it all bendy =D i was woundering how to do it for ages! Subscribed + Favourited :)

[percydanvers2]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I never knew how to move the trenches up or down in spline mode so I've been doing it piece by piece... my maps feature a lot of trenches. So thanks for saving me all the time.

[omgwinrar]

where can I get the worldbuilder?

[Loltoone]

If you install Company of Heroes, check the folder for CoH and you will see at the bottom of the folder it is called WorldBuilder.

[oneilc818]

provided that you patch to atleast 1.3

[kaneraf]

The world builder is under ur company of hereos folder if its not there go to ur computor/ local disc/THQ/company of heroes and at the bottom is world builder.
