Sorry to bother you all with this if it is a stupid question, and I also apologise in advance if it's on the wrong board.  %wrd

So, my question is (and it might be pretty obvious, but I'm really not sure) whether or not a terrain mod is generated with / when rendering a map for the first time, or do you need to open every city?

I want to install a new terrain mod and hopefully render the map with the terrain mod (as rendering takes long, and opening every city even longer) and I want to be sure before I waste 2 hours of waiting patiently. :P

Thanks in advance,

M

For terrain mods it is only when you are rendering maps using the SC4 engine.
the 8 bit maps can be rendered using SCTF which is a much more flexible and powerful program.

That is what I am referring to, as I do not use the SCTF. So, let me get this straight: if I render a map with the SC4 engine with a terrain mod in my plugins folder all the city tiles will have that terrain?

Thanks!  ;D

You will get the terrain textures on the map if you render the map by the game engine.
