Custom Brick Disgn

Hello I am currently working on a custom terrain for use in playable maps and was wondering if there is an easy way to implement my custom terrain.

I have searched around all night looking for a better way than what I'm looking at doing, and haven't found much. I stumbled appon this forum and noticed you guys were the top of the line for custom terrain so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Right now what I'm looking at doing and somewhat in the process of doing is stripping the "Cityscape\White_Marble" design and replacing it with what I want. My brother does professional brickwork/landscaping and drafting in real life so I wanted to try to get a "Belgian Tumbled Holland" pavers pattern into warcraft.



Thats what I'm trying to get it to look like. When I tried to do it with putting it over a different one it skewed it and made it all jumbled. Is there some way I can just make my own, import it, then put it in a pallet? I've cut apart the white marble pattern and am trying to piece it in there, but I have a feeling its going to be near impossible to do and should be a better and faster way.

Thankyou in advance for your time and effort, even if just in reading. Apologies if this post is rambling or crap, I'm about to hit the bed so I'm a little off anyway.

Your question was hard to find in that huge post, I actually wasn't sure why PP sent it to this forum until I realized you were asking about tile imports and not actually terrain. You need to fit your "Belgian Tumbled Holland" pavers pattern into a .blp format similar to the other tiles in-game (Using the same variation style and so forth as the one you're overwriting), then import it over one of them, save, reload WE, and use that tile. It will become your pattern.

I think that's what he's doing, but it's not lining up properly.

Tilesets are fiddly things, I haven't done much work with them but I suppose you'd just need to keep reimporting and adjusting until they fit. Can you post a screenshot of how it looks currently in WE?

Thanks for the move, sorry it seemed like the right spot ><

AnemicRoyalty is right. Iv got it in that far, was just hoping it wouldent need to be fiddling over and over.



Theres the picture of what it does for pattern so far.
