Another Question

Alright, does anyone know an easier way to do foliage? Like the grass on the ground? Rather than using 40,000,000 models?

no, people were requesting it before iw released the radiant, but they didn't do it. All you have to do is make the 40,000 models, select them, then hit the model to ground button and they'll conform to your terrain patches. Not quite as hard as it could be.

If you look on the right hand side of the radiant toolbar you will see two green buttons pointing down, a zero with a green line under it, and two pink boxes with arrows under them. Mouse over them and each of their uses is pretty apparent. If it isn't just experiment with them.

Yeah that fails. It moves it about 100 units above the ground..

I think you have to specify where the ground is(iirc it's in preferences).

No point in spending time and effort to learn something that will be of little use to me.

The advantages of learning it do not outweigh the disadvantages of learning it.

New PC, New Hard Drive, no CoD4Tools installation (yet), backup on old PC, cba to copy onto external...

Basically, it would be easier for you to click everything and find it yourself.
