Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances

<< < (42/71) > >>

Ellatrue:
Has anyone else been having trouble with uninstalling old test neighborhoods from the game? I used the launcher to do this, which predictably failed to work. Is there another method for burninating/uninstalling a world for those of us who want to replace them after fixing old errors?

ETA: I managed to fix the problem I was having, but the question still stands because the launcher is stupid and sucks.

Lion:
To burninate, delete:
DCCache
InstalledWorlds
WorldCaches

in My Documents (XP).

Now a question. Can you get rid of the red spots when you paint the terrain? It's automatically generated if the terrain is steep. I can't erase it or disable it. It's blocking the view to paint the terrain.

In ‘Sculpt' mode to get rid of the red, you deselect the ‘Show Unroutable Terrain' box. 

In ‘Paint mode to get rid of the red, push the ‘Routing Opacity' down as low as you need in order to see, or all the way down to nothing if you like. 

Lion:
In paint mode, ‘Routing Opacity' is down to nothing. Reds persist.

I seem to have a vague recollection of this annoying me when I first started using the tool.  It has not happened to me in so long, I'm not sure when or why it stopped happening.  I do know that after I have turned on the routing to check to make sure all my spawners are accessible, sometimes the red stays up after I turn it back off, but right clicking on the world and/or zooming in and out causes it to go away.  Is this a new occurrence for you?  I know you have been working with the tool for awhile now and I'm wondering if this is the first time you have gone to paint a world, or if it just suddenly began to happen.  My only other suggestion is to exit and restart.  That or try kicking the darn thing.


edit/added: I have the perfect pair of shoes to do it with.  Do you want to borrow them?
