Hi there.

I'm working on and off on some custom tilesets but in order not to completely break compatibility with existing maps I'd like to have some custom terrain types in a separate category instead of replacing existing content. So, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to add extra tabs to the terrain and/or other tools?

Hi Kusy and welcome to our forums! face-smile.png

Yes that's the way how e.g. add-ons handle this. Best would be load some add-ons that already make use of additional tabs for terrains. E.g. "Foreign Planet", "Tropics" or "Impassable Water". Those can be easily adapted to your needs.

Please look into the Addons documentation for further informations. In case of any questions feel free to ask face-smile.png

I too was going to ask the same question here, thanks yet again kaputnik for the useful tip. I have foreign planet installed, so I'll have a look at it.
