Blue Minimap?

Well my problem is this:

I made a new map with a base shallow water level to start, then I raised the terrain so the water was hidden (thus allowing me to make pools of water without cliffs with relative ease). Usually I do it the hard way. However, this has caused the minimap to become entirely blue at areas that are at ground level (areas I havent used create cliff). I do not want a blue minimap, as it makes things very confusing. Is there a way to make it so the blue only shows where there is visable water?

EDIT: I think I solved it. I need to raise the whole map another couple points.

In-game or in the editor?
Perhaps you are using a terrain which doesn't allow building and Pathing Ground is triggered.

Try pressing "P" in the terrain editor (main editor). If it cures the problem... see above.

I always do my maps that way and never have a problem. o_O

Its both in the editor and in-game.
I know about the pathing map. So far all the terrain is some form of grass. Its the same blue you get when you put water somewhere. There is water, but the thing is, the terrain is raised above the water so you can't see it.

Okay, then try to enable the Pathing.
If it is dark blue, press P, if it changes to green (depends on what "grass" you used, a name would be nice), it's because it IS water, just very very little above the water level and not noticeable.

If so, raise the entire map.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
