Photobucket == Image hosting service.
Paint Shop Pro == Image manipulation program.

Big Difference.

Maybe he thought Photobucket was an image editing program?

As far as I can tell, you can't remove water in same manner you can remove ramps or cliffs. Rather, you have to overwrite the water height there.

By overwriting, you would copy and paste a terrain that had either no water level or lower water level over where you don't want water to be there for a lower level.

Thsi is one of quirk of WE; if you already written in water level information for your map (e.g. you started out with water level, or you maybe changed the map size among the size with some water already present), the area will retain that information, which may not be desired. Therefore, there will be nowhere where you can copy from to change the water level.

If this is the case, you can just go and create yourself a "water height template", which would be 32x32 map, no initial water level, then adding water level for each cliff height in a stepped fashion, then when you have the desired water height, copy that height and paste it in your original map.

You should take care to remember which cliff tiles you used (it doesn't matter which tileset you're using. Your original map could be Cityscape while you're using Lorderan Summer; you only need to make sure that correct cliff tile is selected (e.g. if you were using tiled wall which is on the left of two cliff selection, you need to use grass cliff which also is on the left, for your template to paste correctly). The tiles itself also doesn't carry over but rather the position of tiles will carry over between maps. Meaning that if your tileset is ordered in City Square-Black Marble-Grass, and your water templates uses Lorderan Summer which has the order Dirt-Rough Dirt-Grass, and you want to use black marble, then you want to select rough dirt as that will be pasted in your original map as black marable.

Whew. That was a long winded explanation, but hope that was more than enough! :)

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
