Fixing bugs on coastlines

[Odoaker]

Hey there to all of our great community!

I saw and heard, it still does not exist a how-to-fix-bugs-tut for mapping, so I decided to make it existing.

Sometimes there will be some ugly bugs on coastlines after building a new or editing an existing campaign map.

They could be look like this:

Reason of these bugs are often unbalanced RGB-values on map_heights.tga

Make shure:

• Water-colour has the exact value 0 0 250

• Ground-colour has on edges towards the sea a RGB-value of 1 1 1 and in its corners a value of not higher than 6 6 6. The best value is 3 3 3.

Good advice in here, I'd just like to add something with regards to coastlines:

The beach ground type is important to get nice beaches and coastlines on the battlemaps, since without that groundtype, coastlines tend to look ugly in battlemap mode.
