Landscape editing confusion

[samusaran589]

Looking for help with landscape editing. I'm building a house off the oranghe road and trying to make a grass-less path to the front door. My issue is that the CS doesn't paint a terrain texture. I picked a grass-less texture and right clicked and everything, but it doesn't paint. If I expand the circle, it makes a small painted area to the left of the door, but stops at what looks like a seam/border. There is an obvious line.

Not sure what the issue is. For this particular mod, I'm just moving the whole house forward a few feet so the door is in a clearing, but I'd like to know how to fix this for the future.

It sounds like that quad is full.

To check that, go to that cell, press H to bring up the landscape editor, then press i. This will bring up a box showing 4 squares and a listing of all the textures already in that quad cell with a percentage of how much it is used. You can start deleting (right click a texture, delete) the lesser used textures until the landscape editor allows you to paint in your new texture.

Warning - never delete the first texture listed in each quad.

Or, it could be you've chosen a texture that doesn't paint. Yep, there are some. If the quad doesn't look overloaded as above, then just go in game and check if your texture is there.
