Can someone help me....I spent 30 hours creating a map only to find that the same name map exists from 2012 and it says im not the author!!.....My map is a totally different design....what can I do quickly to fix this problem...I tried resaving my map as a different name and it gave me all kinds of ULA Save, map, errors when trying to upload to FAF!

Please help me

can i cut/or manipulate this shape in any way inside the editor other than the rotate, and enlarge tools?


Jip ill try to get a picture for you.....but basically its the stock decals that are in the FAF Map editor under the decals section when you hit the + to Place Decals. It brings up different menus like evergreen, tundra, desert, ect.... then you choose one of the decals and it loads into the tool and you place it on any section of your map. Some of the decals are square textures that have pebble tech or ground erosion textures in them.....when you place them they are fully square, I was wondering if there is any way to slice, or fade them or gradually feather them so they dont look so harsh.....Ill try to take a picture and post

thanks Jip but I dont follow.......is that a function in the FAF Map Editor in the Decal section/tab? the only tools i see are up down left right, CAMS and cutoff distances....... Im not even sure what those options are supposed to do. Is there a quick guide maybe on this sight for advanced decal functions and how to use the tools in that tab?

Folks, I have some square decals that I have pasted down into my terrain and it looks a little too much like a sticker because its basically a square texture that looks stamped onto the map. Im wondering is it possible to soften/blur or fade the edges so it has a more natural feathered look that blends into the map?

well said brutha!! FAF ON!

Hey gents, just want to check with mods and design team to make sure I dont violate any rules.......Am I ok to modify an original FAF map and upload?

Index thanks i appreciate the response........Isnt Discord a chat program. Sorry not too familar with it but i hear it mentioned all the time. I was hoping to minimize the number of additional apps running in my system tray (too many already between steam, epic, razer, logitech, etc etc) I was just hoping to read thru some more advanced guides here if possible....thnx

Madmax, in an attempt to reach out to you to discuss something privately, I did a search and stumbled upon this map guide......I just want say its very helpful and informative. I have learned alot of good tips reading thru this......so thank you. Do you have any more guides that go into more details about importing and exporting stratums in the layer section and what benefits they offer?

Also do have any guides that go a bit more into texturing tips and masking?
