So, I've been hopping between versions of OpenCS to work on a mod, because one has the ability to edit terrain but I can't see npcs, and the other I can see npcs but not edit terrain. I found an interesting issue happens when doing this. My mod raises certain terrain height to absurd levels, which in turn changes the map. WELL if you save the mod in the old version of the editor that doesn't have landscaping features, the map gets all full of holes. The land loads fine, but the map in game get's all messed up. This can be fixed by resaving the mod in the new one! Nothing major, obviously not a bug (as I'm playing with fire even swapping between versions) but interesting all the same.

Also, why can't I see npcs in the new version of the cs? If I could see them AND have snap to grid, well I'd be the happiest fetcher alive.

The terrain in question incase anyone was curious!

Finally, a real mountainous red mountain!

That's the goal! It will take a while, because I plan on redoing the dungeons to fit the new mountain, and revamping the end of the main quest with that, but as the OpenCS evolves, I will be able to get more done. Need some new meshes and textures and possibly animations for some things I want to do, but we'll see how that goes.

Have you reported an issue for the NPCs thing? If not, that'd be a bad regression to have in the 0.47 release.

I may have forgotten to do so... mostly thought I was doing something wrong, will make a bug report about it.

Never mind, the latest version fixes that... what good timing! BACK TO WORK WITH ME!

That screencap looks awesome! Please keep us posted on this (perhaps in another thread we should do a what are people workin on discussion).

I'll probably start a thread in the "content development" section at some point. Can't let the flame die out! I may also be seeking people to help at a certain point, as this is a pretty major project.
