Thank you for the video, can't wait to get into it 😊

When i press play to run around on my new landscape, its not showing? i just fall into water but i can see it in editor mode. My playerstart is above the land too. Any ideas ?

[@4rk4L1f3]

Great Tutorial series. Any chance we can get a tutorial on how to cut holes in the maps for caves. Also I noticed everyone uses NOHoles on the WaterPlane. Just curious what a use case scenario would be to use holes. Thanks in advance. Vintal is a great map!!

[@WM_Plays]

Thanks, and yea I will show how to make holes in the landscape for caves but I have yet to get holes in the waterplane figured out. Mappers tend to use noholes water plane becuase they’re are no holes in it from other maps, it’s ease of use.

Near the end when you hit the Play Button to walk aorund on the map it obviously worked for you. When I tried I fell out of the sky and straight into the water as if the landscape was never there. Any idea why this is happeneing? Any help would be grealty appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Set the landscape collision to Ground, that should fix it

[@4rk4L1f3]

@@WM_Plays It was set to Ground Terrain. I changed it to Ground and I still fall out of the sky and into the water. Once I'm in the water and look up I can't see anything but sky. I can see the Obelisks oddly. On the left side of the screen I get a wall of blue text that says "Failed To Find Valid DSM". Thank you.

Strange, that’s never happened to me, you should check in with the ark modding discord, it is a community with most ark modders and mappers

[@ManonGerbaudo]

Hello! When I press play, my character dies instantly, I can't spawn; do you have an idea to solve my problem? Thank you!

[@WM_Plays]

Strange, search kill in your world settings and increase the maxes to be very high of a number and then the opposite with mins. I hope this works

[@Timjen06-06]

when i place the landscape in the world it is just black . any clue on what could be causing that? cant really sculpt anything with it like that

[@WM_Plays]

Did you add a landscape material to it?

[@Timjen06-06]

@WM_Plays it has the mi_islandlandscape material linked to it

[@Timjen06-06]

@@WM_Plays i tried following buttmans tutorial to import a gaea landscape as well and still the same thing just a black landscape. i will be going over all the setting compered to the island map to see if i missed something. it dont matter what material i link to the landscape it just stays black. although some times it will get a disco ball effect and all the proxys will be different colors

[@WM_Plays]

Strange, have you set up RVTs yet?

[@Timjen06-06]

I'm not sure I will check on that
