Post subject:  Requesting Help ~ Creating New Terrain
I've tried fiddling with the frustrating .ini files to no avail and even after reading all the guides I could find (and attempting to deconstruct the .ini files of other modders) I can't seem to get my new terrain into the game. Below is a copy of the .ini file, I'd really appreciate it if someone could help figure out where I'm going wrong at getting the map into the game.

Code:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Horizontal Land

AddScene = Scene
   PresetName = Horiz Land2

      X = 0
      Y = 0
   // Gravity acceleration, m/s^2
   GlobalAcceleration = Vector
      X = 0
      Y = 19.82

   // Terrain SceneLayer
   Terrain = SLTerrain
      PresetName = Horiz Land Terrain

Just FYI, the 'Code' button is there for a reason; it preserves all tabs and spaces. Use it or upload the .ini. Also, what specific error message are you given? If you have but one tab or space out of place, CC won't recognize that line of code, so you might be able to help yourself by re-tabbing the lines. :)

There's no error, it just won't show up in-game.

At the end of the folder name for your map, did you type ".rte" or
include an Index.ini inside of that folder that references to your map.ini?

If that doesn't work, upload the map folder, and I'll take a look at it since
it could be a problem with the Indentation and DRL doesn't preserve the tabbing.

May awesome days be yours.
