so i cant figure out how to setup layers.cfg or config.cpp

[wantafanta 13]

ive read through the wiki for days and i cant get a simple map setup in terrain builder, and 50% of the time when i hit the wrong button it just causes terrain builder to crash completely.. like why the hell is is so hard to setup a simple map with these tools... like the map config editor throws tons of errors and (occasionally) crashes terrain builder. also, theres a huge lack of documentation when it comes to setting up terrains in terrain builder (visitor 3 tutorials dont work, maybe for some people they do but ive been following these tutorials step by step and dont for me.)

tell me about it mate!

ive been trying for ages to get a map in game. its hit or miss to get it generating layers but now im stuck in pboproject with 'packing error'!!...and binlog tells me nothing.

never been so pissed off and frustrated in my life trying this, and theres not too much help on these forums im afraid either.

Option A:

Use the sample config by Jakerod and adapt paths and names to your needs (the samples also comes with layers.cfg and all stuff). Use the entire samplemap pack

Option B:

Use any island (Altis for example) config and adapt it again.

And yes, terrain edition can be and will be EXTREMELY frustrating until you break the succesive knowledge walls, there a reason why only a handful of people over the world can make terrains.
