help with scenario editor

[grabbysnatch]

I have been creating an operation market garden scenario however, i must have missed the bit that said u needed to use pad image first to then draw yr map over it. I didnt and I just generated the normal terrain tiles and built my roads rivers etc over it. My problem is now i cannot produce cities, airfields forests etc. it just provides the name, not the correct tile.

Have i totally wasted my time and have to start again from scratch, or is there a way around this?

NB. I note someone else has also been creating this scenario, so I have probably still wasted my time, apart from it has been a good learning curve.

Have you got all the right view options set? If you have set the terrain and then generated it you should see it all there. After that you add tiles, strings, special features etc tiles. What happens when you press Spacebar? Do you see changes? You don't have to use a pad image - it's just a very nice way to get the locations of towns, rivers, roads etc correct.

pressing spacebar just turns tiles black. I cant see towns etc. When I create them, i just get the word city. same for airfields etc. All I have at moment is the background, complete with roads, rivers and railway lines. I havent set any other paramaters tec yet

Place a string on top of your city . Right click and name your city.

Did you check the step by step walk through provided in the editor tutorial? Open the Editor, to go HELP -> EDITOR MANUAL
This should be of some assistance.
If you already have, and you are still struggling, let me know.

Is it possible to get a .pdf of the editor manual/tutorial posted here? I'd really like to see what is involved.

You already have it. When you open the first screen with PLAY on it - you will see Editor and Editor Manual, which links to the PDF. If not it's in the Panzer Corps\Manual folder wherever you installed PzC.

Click on edit. Select terrain. Click on city. Click on map where you want it. Click on generate tiles.

thanks for all the help. Have just about got the hang of it now. Have done a small scale map to test how things work and everything seems okay. I am now gonna start on my first full scenario.

No, i dont already have it - I dont have the game. Would like to get a look at the editing process before I buy. Saw that the game manual is posted, and thought someone might post the editor manual also.
