Black edge around map?

Hey,

I've put quite some time in making a new map, except I am still struggling with 1 problem.

When I am in the Worldbuilder, the edges of the map look fine, however, when I export the map and start to play it, the "non playable area" is all black. I've been fiddling around with some atmosphere settings, but it seems I am missing out on something.

Anyone has a clue? See the screenshot for the example.

This is not a problem, it's the default edge of the playable area and total terrain area. if you want a softer edge like on the default maps. you have to use the interactivity stage tool ( the dashed circle right to the 'TER'ritory icon). Set the interactivity to 1 or anything else than 0 and paint edges around your map as you want them. Btw you also should make the terrain area far bigger than the playable area.

I will simply lol at anyone expecting such a change to a 2 year old general use infantry.
Equally possible are pershing for USF, IS-3 for soviets or ober nerf for OKW.

Thanks ofield, that clears it up for me, I have been check out Onclesam's video about the "1s time mapmaking" where he discusses the "fullmap/soft edge/core area.

I guess for now, I can't increase the size of the map to make the non playable area bigger?

No you can't. In case you've already placed many things on the map and you don't want to redo them, you can use the stamp tool to create a copy of your current map and stamp it into a bigger one.

Make a stamp of your existing map and stamp it on a new larger map

Hey Oldfield,
long time ago

, My new map North African desert is on Workshop Btw !

Question about non playeble area was intresst for me because i always had the same problem!
Your answer was logigal to me because i know about this tool , but if i set it on 5 or on 50 makes no different if i start to collor , nothing happend !
I can collor all other areas without the non playeble, how stupid is this ?

If you know what i do wrong please tell me because i would love to fix this on my maps.
Btw , is this also working on maps i was importing from coh1 ? ( because there you have juat 2 areas, and i had the same problem: paintig on it was not working !
