Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
nanacake:
The +/- keys also zoom.
Phoebe:
Is anyone else having a problem with putting rocks in their worlds? Every time I select different types of rocks they appear in the middle of the ocean instead of where my mouse is. I don't understand why. At first I thought they weren't appearing but they appeared as placed in my layer panel, so I clicked one and clicked "Find in Rendering Pane", and there were about 10 rocks. =/
Lion:
I randomly placed a few rocks, they work fine for me, appearing where the mouse is.
You have to press Esc to prevent objects on your mouse tip from being added to the world.
Why doesn't water/river appear? The elevation of the bridge (to indicate how high the land is) PositionY is 43.

Is there other way to quickly zoom in and out rather than rolling my mousewheel for thousands of time?
Also, if you press Shift when you zoom/move, it goes faster.

Another thing I'm having a small issue with is saving the image for the town as a 24-bit png. Gimp apparently isn't capable.
I've been doing mine in GIMP 2.6. You can either type the .png bit in manually or scroll down to it in the extensions drop down. You'll then get a box asking about the interlacing and stuff. Just choose the default options and it should work.
I've been using 2.6 for a considerable time. No, it doesn't save it in 24 bit format. It saves as 32 bit. After considerable search on Google, I reluctantly concluded that Gimp won't save as 24 bit png. Yes, I know how to type . p n g manually, or to choose it from the dropdown menu.
No one else has commented on the "only two worlds" issue I'm having. Thanks for the tip about renaming instead of trying to overwrite files I've made changes to, and the locations for deleting references to worlds I don't want installed any more. I was finding it frustrating to figure out where all to look. It seems I need to be moar 'puter savvy. <- dumdum dum...

Go to Terrain > Change Sea Level, then click a spot on a valley where you want the water level to snap to.
