Editing Landscape Edit



This tool is used to modify the terrain, textures, and vertex colors of the game world. Here's a breakdown of the sections and settings in this panel:

=== 1. '''Height Section''': ===
This section allows you to modify the landscape height (terrain elevation) and includes several tools for shaping the landscape.

* '''Edit Radius''': Controls the size of the area affected by terrain editing tools. You can enter a value (in this case, it's set to 5) and click "Set" to apply.
* '''Flatten Vertices''': When selected, this will make the vertices in the editing area equal in height, effectively flattening the terrain.
* '''Soften Vertices''': This option smooths out the terrain by softening sharp edges between vertices.
* '''Edit Falloff''': Controls how the effect of terrain editing fades off from the center of the tool's radius (in percentage). A lower percentage creates sharper transitions, while a higher percentage smooths the changes more gradually.
* '''Flatten Border''': Helps smooth the terrain around the edges of the area you're editing.
* '''Show Edit Radius''': Displays the area of effect as a visual circle or shape over the terrain when editing.
* '''Drawing Mode / Ramping Mode''':
** '''Drawing Mode''' allows you to manually raise or lower terrain.
** '''Ramping Mode''' allows you to create slopes by defining start and end heights.
* '''Raise To/By''' and '''Lower To/By''': These tools allow you to raise or lower terrain by a specific height or to a specified level.
* '''Absolute Height''': When checked, terrain modifications will be made to a fixed height, ignoring the current terrain elevation.
* '''Delta''': This option controls the rate or magnitude of terrain changes, useful for gradual elevation or lowering.

=== 2. '''Texture Section''': ===
This section manages terrain textures, allowing you to paint specific textures onto the landscape.

* '''ID''': Displays the unique identifier for each texture.
* '''Used''': Indicates how many times a texture is currently applied in the world.
* '''FileName''': The path to the texture file in the Creation Kit’s directories.
* '''Selected Texture''': This is the currently selected texture for painting. The right panel will show a preview of the texture, and you can adjust its settings.
* '''Max Opacity''': This slider controls the opacity of the texture being applied, allowing for blending with other textures.

=== 3. '''Vertex Color Section''': ===
This section allows for the adjustment of vertex colors, which is useful for adding color variation and blending to terrain textures.

* '''R, G, B (Red, Green, Blue)''': These are the RGB color sliders to select the vertex color to be applied.
* '''Select Color''': Opens a color picker to choose custom colors for terrain vertices.
* '''Edit Colors''': When checked, you can directly paint vertex colors onto the landscape.
* '''Color Presets (Squares)''': Preset color slots that allow you to quickly select or store frequently used colors.

=== 4. '''Buttons''': ===

* '''Turn Off Landscape Editing''': These buttons are used to disable landscape editing mode when you're finished making changes.
