[Tyirel]

[KingMysion]

EVERY one. The foliage feature was removed in newer version's of the UDK. I'm not sure how to do it now but there's a new way to do it I think. He really should update this vid.

[Bollalillo]

[Bollalillo]

@Bollalillo nvm i didn't hear the ctrl part;)

[furlerAU]

To everyone who with the no foliage tab problem, this method has been removed, and there is now a better system implemented. Either go to the UDK help website and search there, or go to

udn . epicgames . com/Three/Foliage

Enjoy! :)

[ChocolateMilkMonster]

[Eximious94]

[SpartanJAX48]

I CANT SAVE THE NAME!

[radeeven]

[gosthmw2]

[Demonster17]

it will not let me save my creations. it keeps telling me "this map is using externally referanced packages which wont be found when in a game and all referances will be broken. perform a map check for more details" any one have any ideas or why or help? and how do i perform a map check?

[Roulden]

Can Unreal dev kit create blocky and randomly generated terrain like minecraft?

[Warriorbeans44]

@raven67854 No foliage option, please reply, I think it updated with the december update, lots of confused new user on this video.

[Hacktorials]

32 People didn't have the "foliage" tab.. Including me, but I didn't dislike.

[zenarium]

I don't have the folliage option :(

[Hacktorials]

@zenarium Me neither, If I found out how to get or fix it. I'll let ya know.

[Theigthacked]

I dont have foliage in the properties. Only displacement and material?

[Technosauce]

Hey, I have an issue of making the terrain. When I do the 'new terrain' step, I never get the large purple/white checker board. Now I heard if you press 't' it should show, but that did not work. All I see is that little cube with a small picture of a mountain icon inside. What do you suggest to fix this?

[RabbitMaster12]

I have the latest Verision Of UDK and i dont have FOLIAGE after i press the properties of my Material. What do i do, or where can i find it?

[davidpiksi]

sand doesnt show up in my cool materials

[davidpiksi]

Dude , YOU'RE THE BEST !

[ALI53481]

there is no foliage option on my sand properties

How can i get it ???

[6ICGameStudios]

Any Issues? Maybe my video will quickly help!

[TheNo1WarLord]

I have put my first texture on but there is the texture and the white&blue squares. how do I remove the white&blue squares?

[CirceanShadows]

theres no foliage option on mine :(

[benju69]

@CirceanShadows now it's a foliage mode

[CirceanShadows]

Nevermind i fixed it :D

[CirceanShadows]

It keeps telling me "name has invalid character: [] " no matter what i type.

[ParakoopaPete]

Do i need to do anything with the terrain before I can add sectors? I hold down control+Mouse 1 to expand on my existing terrain but nothing happens.

[cyrax76]

terrain is currently unsupported on mobile platforms, how can i fix this? (i want to create a game for pc not mobile)

[JokerDCM]

You guys want a job? Contac me please ;)

[ocuria]

@JokerDCM What did you mean if we want a Job?

[JokerDCM]

@ocuria

forget it ;)

[thehomelessman]

Hey, when you put in the area size, how do you know how big it is? Do the numbers represent feet, yards, miles, pixels, or what?

[Xonikful]

i can't find foliage tool from properties. please help!

[jtremper9]

nevermind dont reply i wasnt holding ctrl key

[jtremper9]

when i try to use the paint tool all it dose is move thae camra what am i doing wrong?

[OneKidRebellion]

@jtremper9 hold control while trying to use it, only clicking is for camera

[xxxCRAZYLOVExxx]

@OneKidRebellion i dont know what i did wrong, but when i go into Content Browser, all i get is "nothing to show; check your filter" when i try searching for anything in the folders :(

[matthewbowell]

Ok guys this sounds like the dumbest question but when I try to name my new terrain layer its gives me an error saying naming cant contain : [ ] ,

ive not even got them in the name ?

any help would be good

[dubmaticJRJ]

@matthewbowell Hey dude - the [ ] means you have a space in your name, as in [SPACE] and its telling you your not supposed to have a SPACE in your name. Instead of doing something like "terrain layer" you need to do it like "terrain_layer"

Hope this helps ya dude!

[CirceanShadows]

@dubmaticJRJ

Im having the same error even withought spaces...

[DrawWithLaura]

@matthewbowell The brackets is around what you have in the name.

IE. A space. Names can't be "Insert name here" they have to be "InsertNameHere"

[GuthrierocksExtend]

help! everytime i try to add a terrain it appears as a small pic of a mountain! help

[unreal3tournament]

Thx fot the tutorial

it's really help full



[MrMeatbunz]

I dont have the 'foliage' option in my propertes menu

can anyone help me out here?

Plus where can i dl the sand or other materials???

[Tileproxy]

@MrMeatbunz alot of this was removed in july-august patch i think, so you have to use a manual foliage, google "udk foliage"

[MrMeatbunz]

@Tileproxy i already figured that out, but i still dont know why but on my maps, when i start and play in it, theres no hud.

How do i add that?

When i go on the pre made ones they have guns sooooo why doesnt it appear on my maps???

I didnt see Raven set up anything in his vid so what do i do?

[Tileproxy]

@MrMeatbunz i dont know how to add >:(

[rpglover24]

@MrMeatbunz lolol Save the map as "DM-INSERTNAMEHERE". "DM-" stands for deathmatch, if you were wondering.

[MrMeatbunz]

@rpglover24 oh, so i just add the acronym for whatever mode i wat

so what else can i do with the name of the save to affect its result?

THANK YOU

[rpglover24]

@MrMeatbunz I'm not sure what other acronyms there are, you'd have to look that up. You're welcome :D.

[ObsydianFlow]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it has helped me out a

lot! Although, I had to look back at minor details to figure out what you pressed to access certain movements. Either way, good tutorial is good!

[MCbaskyn]

nm, i figured it out.

[MCbaskyn]

clicking does not sculpt it, it moves my screen around.

[MrMegaFX]

no problem ive find the mode on my own.

[MrMegaFX]

Which keys do you touch to paint?? When i try it moves the cam.Help plz

[SuperMonkeyHellDude]

@MrMegaFX You hold "ctrl" when you left/right click to paint

[kall442]

foliage option is gone, need help as im trying to get my son to build.

what r we to do download every version?

[NikolaevAlexander]

@kall442 no there is a new foliage tool now that works better; google UDN and search for foliage...

[ZZorroxZ]

OK so if foliage was removed from there, are there any other ways to get foliage in the game? :)

[007man23]

I dont know how to get the wireframe on the terrain in the first minute

[earthsecho]

@007man23 click on the toggle wireframe on/off button in the Unreal TerrainEdit window

[MeTaLdUdE02]

i can make my own floor, and the first time i did it, i could see what it looked like. but now, i can only see white instead of colors on the terrain. how do i solve that? it still works, i can walk on it, and when i walk on it i can see the colors, but when i'm editing the terrain, all i see is a white terrain with no definition.

[LondonLock]

00:1

to start over

[LondonLock]

0:1



[chernobyl916]

HEY IS IT POSSIBLE to create a tunnel through the terrain? i want to make an underground passage :D

[MeTaLdUdE02]

i couldn't get the sand to show up as the terrain. i did everything you said.

[Super09Zero]

can Anyone Answer My Question That Does UDK Have Multyplayer Support?

Like With Hamachi Or Ingame IP's?

[HitBoxMaster]

There is a way to change the control settings?? because I have to press ctrl to work

[CACombatAssault]

my mountain maker dosent work i have send a video look it than send me back a video

[Animalloverzombie]

thank you!

[Mutator93]

where is foliage in 2011-05 version??!??!?!?!

[TheMoreiraJoao]

I don't have "add light (..)" there are other way to put the light?

[MattStormage]

terrain doesnt change to squares help and it doesnt raise

[Gazmqu333]

AARG MAKE A 2011 VERSION WIF DUH NEW UNREAL VERSION HERPDERP BLAAAA

[TheRealNici]

My wireframe breaks while raising the terrain :c

[shyeki]

whenever i hit the wireframe button it gives me the color option but when i hit okay, cancel, or anything else it directs me to te browser. is this happening to anyone else? if it is, how did you stop it.

[Cr381v3]

AWESOME TUTORIAL! A bit laggy though :P

[capocchiapazza]

terrain not found ???

[stadoblech]

i know your trying to make nice tut but i dont like it. You are too fast, you cannot properly explain steps and most of time i dont know what are you doing. Next time try to make tut based on pictures and text. Sry

[SonicKillMario]

THANK YOU. Awesome tutorial but I think that adding a material to a terrain should be much more simple then this. The advanced stuff should be optional.

[pivotmaster123654]

When i make the terrain via, Tools > New Terrain, it just appears as a tiny picture with a mountain on? Please why am i not getting the plane?

[TheBeastRenews]

@pivotmaster123654 odds are you have your terrain hidden, try hitting the 't' key

[pivotmaster123654]

@TheBeastRenews I guess this shows how much of a beginner i am XD

[volcano798]

I wish I had a better PC, I can only do a bit of a map then it starts to lagg alot :( I would be able to make some sick games if I had a better computer.

[volcano798]

Thanks soooooo much, I feels like a professional xD!!! Im gonna make a search and destroy game probably!

[sithlizard]

Guys - foliage is now in a separate editor. It can be selected from up by the Geometry Editor etc and is now like a brush. You need May UDK though to access this, so have fun downloading all 1.5 GB!

[schoolmax97]

I FOUND FOLIAGE!

my vers is may 2011 beta

[jaimelabourgeoisie]

@schoolmax97 all right, where is it?



[cacademono6543]

@schoolmax97 lol where?

[stolen0102]

One question:

Can i make Alice Madness Returns levels? XD

I mean something like that ;)

[marko9900]

1 questio, how to you get that 2 window screen

[TheSqueezedLemon]

Does anyone not have the sand texture?

[mark0780]

@TheSqueezedLemon yes can´t find it

[ParisChristianne]

my second problemo is that i can't turn the wireframe off

[ParisChristianne]

My problem is that I select a material (I don't have sand), hit the arrow, and instead of displaying the terrain the way it is in the picture, it adds a texture over the checkerboard pattern.

[FacePlant34]

i thought he said select any BREAST size you want

[rockrees]

This was made in 2009 everyone, thats why you don't have a lot of the options ^_^

[zekogroundzero]

Look's easier than the Unity 3D

[phosch22]

too bad i dont have a foliage option

[mkobrien49]

I Think We All Cannot Find Sand Because We All Have The Newer Versions, You Know, The Ones That Came Out AFTER Nov. 10, 2009.

[phosch22]

ok so my 3d view is just black nothing is there..why?/

[zeratultmplr0]

@phosch22 Try pressing "T" on your keyboard. The option to view terrain is defaulted to "false" in the newer version of UDK.

[dangerdrifter]

@phosch22 Dude i too had the problem ...but found the solution you just turn off  the game view mode which is higlighted as" G" below the content editor and kismet Shortcut

[wweFantasticHHH]

Thenewboston has started making udk ruts watch there more simple and he's more cool

[pipmdirector]

if you can't find the sand make sure you click the UDKGame under the packages bar in the side.

hate asking for thumbs up but make sure people see this

[RikuXPaine]

Wheres Foliage?

[doctorgames328]

wheres "foliage"

[interbota1]

This. Is. Epic!

[keeptheshottysmokin]

Everytime I set up a new terrain, it's solid grey. Can someone help me?

[Birf33]

@keeptheshottysmokin try clicking the cubes up the top of the map

[0wn4l1fe]

[Birf33]

[solan3999]

I can't add the sand, it won't come up

[toy741life]

[TheWickedPanda]

how do i get 4 squares to edit in?

I only got the black and blue

[KillerZombieX]

can this work on like a Dell netbook?

[Epicgamecast]

if you go into content browser in the bottom left it should have a package called UDKGame in the packages...

go into that and search for dirt etc

[monkey50cal]

i cant add my sand i go to propertys and nothing

[weegary08]

If anyone is looking the Sand material and cant find it, Go to google and search for free textures...they will work too, you just need to load them into UDK ;-)

[gayfarmerboy]

when i left click after clicking on a brush size and the 3rd over on the top "paint" my camera just moves around when i click mouse 1 and mouse 2. whats up and how do i fix this. please help!

[weegary08]

@gayfarmerboy You need to hold 'Cntrl' ... Catches me out too :)

[funkyguy0]

wow adding terrain is such a long process.

[Fellshadow]

@AaronFitton333 That's the old UDK.

[JoeH1987]

Great help!! cheers!

[TheDarkFrager]

TO EVERYONE THAT CANNOT FIND FOLIAGE:

Foliage was removed in one of the beta versions in late 2010 due to lag issues.

[TheMoreiraJoao]

@TheDarkFrager you know where can i find that ? and if you have a tutorial please send me, or post for everyone to see it

[TheDarkFrager]

@TheMoreiraJoao I have no Idea, Look on the UDK website or on the web.

[swe449agge]

i cant find the m_sand thing

[yelton7]

it fucking crashes when i click terrain editor

[rasmus9311]

@Tuatara8081 so we can't use that option or what? :S is it placed somewhere else? :)

[galletoxis]

hey what i do is to sketch a map of a terrain (actually making an island) and use it as a material. usually on other game engines. but i would like to paint the terrain.

how can i make a new material.

[galletoxis]

u sound nerdy

[hotfuzznarp]

When i go to paint the terrain all it does is rotate the camera plz help.

[hotfuzznarp]

@hotfuzznarp ignore that im an idiot -_-

[BrianRules94]

Thanks for this video raven67854. I can finally edit the Terrain with the help of you video. The Unreal Editor for Gears of War has a 71% (guessed) chance of crashing when I right click to add a new layer lol anyways, thanks again.

[Voltekka15a2]

@lpdark32 Foliage was removed a few months ago in preperation for rolling out a new system for creating terrain, However this new system hasn't been released yet.

[Adrammalech7570]

Thanks for the tutorial. I assume that any textures not in UDK can be downloaded, amirite?

[96FUZZ]

[negativespace261]

@DoomFist94 Yeah it does! I'm trying to use this to see if what I want to do when I grow older is to make games and the game that I would want to make would be an atmospheric claustrophobic game.
