how to make simple lakes
Posted: 22.07.2010, 19:35hi all 
i think i might be usefull here since i helped many other mappers doing this little trick
i hope i can explain in a simple away how to use challenge edit in order to make lakes
there it is
[1] Build a giant mountain of dirt with an hole in the middle (usually i use the hole track)
[2] Put the maximum of pipes in that hole (you see it green) and fill all the edges with the same types of pipes over the hills (its in yellow)
[3] Open Challenge edit and also the track, select the pipe designed with the letter "P" (main block)
then click on the [size=10]padlock [/size]and switch the StadiumTube into Stadium Water
[4] Doing that, all StadiumTubeV1 will be changed [size=10]automatically and of course you be sure that all stadium water blocks are at level[/size] Z=1 clicking in Save Block Modifications to memory in everyone of then
Then save the track clincking in the diskette above
[5] and [6] and this is the result, and this is how to make simple and fast lakes
IMPORTANT: make sure that the lakes are the last thing you do in the track because if you want to change the terrain with the lake on, the game will crash
another thing this is how to do simple lakes but since the water level is not at Z=0 you can ride on the water like in a normal surface
anyway i hope i was helpfull arround there, this is my first tutorial i hope i can help people with it
