You'll probably frequently end up in a situation in which your changes don't have any visual effect. The following tricks have proven useful: | |||
* check the landclass you're editing in-sim - with the ufo, {{Key press|Ctrl||Alt|click}} on a triangle dumps the material definition briefly on-screen and into the console | |||
* make sure you have the signs of latitude and longitude in your <area> tags correct - 30 degrees western longitude should appear as -30.0 - also make sure that really the smaller number is assigned to <lon1> or <lat1> and the larger number as <lon2> and <lat2>, keeping in mind that -10 is larger than -20. | |||
* check whether any later definition overrides the file you're editing - this is why it's important to have <i>a clear hierarchy of definitions rather than a mess of overlapping definitions which partially override each other</i> | |||
* to check whether you're editing the right file/region, do something obvious, like assign a rock texture to a lake. Change to subtle only once you're sure you're editing the right file. | |||
