    Hi there, so I got my map to work but I only have 1 issue. The grid map which I copied from small grid is infinite, but I want it to be 2048x2048. I went pretty dang far and I had yet to send the end of the map. I've looked through all files on NotePad++ but I only found how to change the size on the level selection screen. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

    If you use a 'Groundplane' entity, it will be more or less infinite.
    You have to use a 'Terrain' entity for that.

    Perhaps you could explain that in noob terms? Haha I don't know what you mean by use the "terrain" entity, is it a tool when I press F11?

    F11


    Ground Plane is the 'Infinite' terrain.
    Terrain Block is a terrain with a fixed size that you can edit and etc.

    I see exactly what you mean. Thank you! :)

    Also, the terrain is not collidable, so how do I make it so that my truck is limited to the terrain, not the invisible plane?

    Collisions gets updated when you exit the F11 editor.
    If you are trying to drive on the terrain while in F11 editor, collisions won't be updated.
