Lush Map Editor gives you the tools to shape roads with junctions and roundabouts, take care of fields and farmlands, and carve out creeks while painting ground textures and foliage together. Build a road and its traffic splines are created automatically, so your map work keeps moving.
Features
- Build roads with junctions and roundabouts
- Manage fields and farmlands
- Make creeks while painting ground textures and foliage at the same time
- Create traffic splines automatically when you build roads
Changelog
V1.1.5.5
You can find the full changelog here.
- Manage Crops: switch base-game crops on or off, then install Multifruit packs straight into your map.
- First Person Mode
- Split splines and roads
- Vehicle combinations: pick a vehicle on the map, and the Vehicles tab puts the equipment that fits it first.
- More graphics memory: let very large maps use more of your graphics card’s memory.
- Update check: the editor lets you know when a new version is available.
- Fixes: fields with several holes stay together, roads no longer turn white on other PCs, and big lakes no longer slow the editor down.
V1.1.3.9
- Large spline changes
- Scatter objects inside closed splines
- Put foliage on and inside splines
- Control texture and foliage with slope
- Texture and foliage interact: select the texture that allows foliage to spawn
- Autumn leaves added as a spline tool
- Save presets per spline rather than per tool within a spline
- There is also a spline-related change for placeable animal pens: create custom fence shapes directly in the viewport.
- Roads
- Set road surface curvature as flat or curved, with the curvature chosen by the user. There is a default value and a per-road spline override.
- Choose dashed or clear edge lines across junctions
- Junctions adapt when road sections are widened and when traffic islands are present
- Traffic splines follow widened road sections and traffic islands
- Trees
- The asset browser now has a trees tab. Drag and drop trees straight into the browser or into spline tools.
- Every time you start the foliage brush, a session begins. Trees painted in that session go into their own transform group, which makes handling loads of trees easier if you need to delete or hide an area.
- Workflow
- Pie menu: it appears where your cursor is and gives you a quick way to jump to the different tools.
- Teleport to what you are pointing at: with nothing selected, press F to zoom to the location.
- Language support: this version comes with a language string translation tool and a template file, so you can translate the UI to your language.
- Fixes
- Rarely, maps made outside Lush did not properly update data in densityMap_ground.gdm after fields were created in Lush. If you run into this, click the Clear Ground Outside Fields button in the Fields tab.
- Rarely, maps made in Giants Editor showed no foliage. The map.i3d was referencing densitymaps as png files even though gdm files exist. This has been fixed, and Lush prefers gdm files even if png is used as the file extension in the i3d file.
