Suggestion: Simple Eden Style Terrain maker

[1SG.Smithen.C 3]

It would be awesome if we could get a simple terrain editor since the current way is cumbersome and complicated. People would be able to pick from different starting terrains like a flat landlocked map and an ocean map, which can be scaled from 1x1km up to 30x30km. From there you could use several tools to build up and break down terrain. Water levels could be changed so you could make rivers and lakes on an otherwise landlocked map. Assets like custom buildings could be downloaded from the steam workshop and placed down. Things like terrain texture, and color could be changed as well as the biome the terrain is in allowing for a variety of different types of terrain. Textures could also be make by other people and put on the steam workshop to be used for terrain. Roads could be drawn out by a sort of pencil tool and the textures be procedurally generated based on what kind of road you picked. This would allows hundreds of maps to be made. From open vast deserts to dense urban cities. From Hunger games style arenas to large sprawling wastelands. it would also extend the life of the game even more. Making room for more development to be done on Arma 4 (nudge nudge).

 

P.S. Second time I'm typing this since my mouse fell off my desk hitting one of the side buttons which caused the page to reverse......

P.P.S. Despite my forum account being relatively new I'm no stranger to Arma. Just passed 1k hours the other day.
