C&C Editor... Little more help

	The questions I posted last time were answered well enough, so I
figured I try again.

	I got a scenario working using the ini file method.  I had some units,
some rocks, some craters, and some structures.  It was stupid, but
playable.  But I came across two problems.

	1)  The water.  At the bottom of the map on GDI one there is some
water where the hovercraft bring in reinforcements.  Well, I did'nt
have reinforcements... that's a few jumps ahead.  In the area where
the water was, I got a strange kind of blank out.  You could still see
some water but most of it was blanked out.  It's hard to explain.  It
looked like a HOM if you've ever made Doom levels.  HOM stands for
Hall Of Mirrors.  Whenever a unit would pass over these areas, you'd
see the unit repeated over and over in that section.  It looked ugly
anyway.  Is there anything specific that should be done about water? 

	2)  The Map part of cc-scen.  There is that section of cc-scen that is
called Map.  I assumed this would allow editing of mountain sides and
things like that.  I tried sticking some of that stuff in just to see
what it would do but nothing happened.  None of this section was
explained in Andrew's docs.  The mountains that were in the original
GDI mission one were still there, as well as the roads.  Does anyone
know why?

	Thanks for the help.  I'm getting there.  If I ever figure this out I
plan on writing a "C&C editor for Dummies" tutorial.  Someone just has
to help this dummy through it first.

HOM effect, it happened because you're using the wrong theater.  Water only 
works (as far as I experienced) in Winter and Desert theater.  However, those 
rivers that work on Winter theater will not work on desert- Desert theater has 
its own river name, hence water also.

to get your map working, you need to stick your new map into the mission that 
you want to play.  This was Andrew's error in his documentation on the 
original release of cc-scen, however he updated the documentation.  Just read 
his new docs or download it from his homepage.
