kohlenklau Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am not used to the new CMX2 map editor. I am not having successful results with making a bridge over a dry river bed. The road pops up or the bridge is too high... I looked at other scenarios maps to try and reverse engineer it, but no joy. Can someone walk me through it. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not sure what your problem is but this might help A riverbed 3m lower than the surrounding area creates a good level bridge P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I appreciate the reply. I have no problem with that part. My height difference between the riverbed and road is 10m. My problem and I am sorry not to be able to post an image is a sharp bump up in the road right as it becomes the bridge and a bit under the first edge of the bridge. And my bridges always seem to be a bit higher than the road leading up to the bridge. Something is wacky. I think there is a certain order to how you do the tiles. Do I lay the bridge tile first across the dry river and then add the road tiles and it "snaps" into place? Should any of these be "black square" elevations where you pin it to the certain value? The spiral bound manual does not give any descriptions and I do not yet have adobe to read the pdf version manual if it is more detailed than the spiral bound version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I suspect the difference in height is the problem. Change the tile at each end of the bridge so its height is 15m (and it's probably a good idea to change the tiles each side of the bridge to match) 20 20 5 5 5 20 20 20 15 5 5 5 15 20 20 15 B B B 15 20 20 15 5 5 5 15 20 20 20 5 5 5 15 20 hope that makes sense P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 It makes sense, I will run over to where my CM computer is and give it a try. Thanks.... hope it solves it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Wenman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 This option might look slightly better try 20 10 5 5 10 20 20 15 5 5 15 20 20 15 B B 15 20 20 15 5 5 15 20 20 10 5 5 10 20 having a 10m tile all the way along the riverbed edge expect those 3 tiles at 15m where the bridge is HTH P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 OK, I think I figured out what was causing the wrinkle in the road. Not as much to do with actual elevations as we thought. Paved road can only be used with wide bridge. It seems. Regular bridge is OK for gravel road and dirt road. Paved road with regular bridge caused the wrinkle. It seems. I am back on track and appreciate your attempt to square me away! Thanks Pete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to you, and of course Pete, for teasing that info out! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Another thing, don't be afraid to go one size longer on the bridge than you think you need. Get the lip edge of that bridge away from the curve of the riverbank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
