How to paint terrain quicker?

Post by matty1053 »

Hi all,

I'm curious how to paint the terrain faster. Takes me a while to fully paint a 4km map. Is there a way I can "flood" the terrain with the terrain paint I want to use?

Thanks, all help is appreciated!!

BF2 TPaint is the simplest tool: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f189-m ... paint.html

But only allows for three colour textures.

If you want to go the more advanced route you can use programs like L3DT or GeoControl to paint your terrain really well with an unlimited amount of colour textures to give you lots of verity which otherwise you will really need to paint in by hand afterwards if doing with Tpaint as otherwise your colour will be pretty flat and repetitive.

I'm using l3dt and when I hop in the bf2 editor... I zoom up on terrain paint (with detailed texture selected and when I'm close to it... it's black. But only where my camera is

Have any idea what the issue is? (I'll post pic in a bit to show u.)
