[Unsolved] Using the Flatten Tool

[merunes]

Hello Modcraft

i try to use the newest noggit to make a big, flat Platform for my map (around 4 ADTS big) Around a existing Hill.
problem is, even on the biggest radius the Tool is just to small to raise it even. and if i try to raise the adts one by one and flatten them on the same Level it gets a mess.

maybe i use the flatten tool wrong but mosty it ends up being impossible to make a larger area RLY flat. sometimes the tool even on a absolute flat terrain just starts to raise or lower it slowly, mostly on high speed settings.

any help or tip is welcome.

tehre should be a button under "assist" in your map called reset hight values or something rather
look for that

Use flatten tool with shift and Flat brush from tool's settings. But thats most probably something what you are already doing. If you really need absolutely perfectly flat area, you are going to have hard time. I know very well about that a little bit raising/lowering bug and yes, its quite annoying. It doesn't happen everytime, maybe when you click exactly on vertex, it won't occur? Just a guess. I'm afraid that this is not possible at all with current noggit version. Btw, what do you need such area for?

If you want an absolute flat area, you might want to consider creating an MCVT chunk with your desired values via hex editor and overwrite the one in your adt with the oine you created. You'd still have to close the gaps at the adt borders... but that might be easier in the long run. You could use the adt from the tutorial section to get a flat MCVT chunk and just add/substract the desired values from all entries.
