Placing objects in TresEd around high-detail terrain gets complicated, the only fix being to go into Terrain Edit Mode while moving the instance. This means having to go in and out when fixing multiple objects, or dozens...

Anything is possible, but you need to find someone willing to do it...

Oh, and in Terrain Edit mode, the terrain isn't "smoothed out" while rendered, that's it, I'd say...

Future (probably never-will-happen) request: Look for the TPA files inside the TresEd folder instead of where the game is installed.

In the zip below, tatu. Make certain that the folder containing TresEd is labeled 'Tres_Ed'. I tried it on my desktop and C:\Tres_Ed and it worked fine. Just toss your tpas inside the editor's folder. The only catch is, is that if you're loading up a retail level, you have to select the grf and pid file after you select the swp. For stand_alone levels, that isn't necessary (you'd just select the swap file as normal) since all level files are in the same location -

I ignore your instruction . . . .

About grouping. While TresEd doesn't do 'grouping' as such, it can do something very similar, which allows a number of objects to be moved as a group after selecting only one. This is done by using the ext_Model00 value, which behaves just like Model00, except that only TresEd uses it, and Trespasser will ignore it.

First you need to choose a model to be the 'master', this is the one that you will select in order to move the whole group. This can either be a normal object, or you could insert a new mesh using the Hacking menu and then change its TScript to some kind of object that does not show up in the game. Then list the members of the group as ext_Model00 objects. Here's an example TScript for the master object:

group MyNewObject = {
bool Visible = false
string ext_Model00 = "SomeModel"
string ext_Model01 = "SomeOtherModel"
}
