I'm new to this land editing stuff, so a walk through would be very welcome..

In the stand alone, I tried to raise the land to creat some nice mountains, and BOOM!.. huge nasty spikes a trillion miles into the sky... I'm having a terrible time trying to flatten/lower or smooth it back to normal.. but the more I try the worse it gets, now with huge pit holes too.. I need to start again. How do I reset the island back to normal?

And can I download ready made buildings/trees/plants/autos/ etc for using in the stand alone?

Thanks..

Thanks for the reply.. using SL viewer with the Version 0.5x rev r4314 simulator.

If you mean the Launch.exe.. I can only type in the command window before starting. Then it ignores that and loads the origianl sim, but with my new mess added. I cannot type in the command window after it's finnished either.

Am I using a wrong command window?

I've had a PM to say about loading a terrain.. but I have no idea how or where to do that.. nor can I find it on any toolbar in the viewer. I did manage to find some downloads.. not even sure which folder they go in..

I've only been in SL for a week, can't get a premium at paypal, my CC won't do it.. :( so cannot get a full membership to buy land at SL. Hense I didn't bother to learn how to edit terrain.

Only found out about the stand alone last night and my heart jumped for joy.... after many hours of hopeless searches in these forums for others with the same problems (none), and newbie FAQ that assume you already know the in's and out's... I'm thinking maybe I should go back to SL and look up terrain editing.

That's awesome news Sakai... I'll be keeping an eye on the forum for news..

And through Charm, who said a little prize sentance to me.. it didn't click before.. Doh!...  it was Charm saying about being able to have as many stand alones as we want on a PC... Thanks Charm!

As I'd only just opened the stand alone to begin playing so not much had been done.. delete the stand alone folder and unzip a new one.. snorted!... LOL

Thanks everyone!

OOOOO.. PC crashings.. had 5 in one year once.. and you know I do Poser. It takes on average, 4 weeks of full days and evenings.. and that is NO exagertion, to get my Poser library reinstalled, so you can imagine, I spent most of that year installing Poser bits.. LOL..

Well, I managed to create my own little worlds at last, but I cannot get the inventory to work.. But there's another thread started about that, so I joined in there rather than spliting info all over the forum..

cheers all
