I tried to follow the cod tutorial.But how do you start to make the terrain? e.g which texture to select to work on your terrain?Just want a few lumps and bumps in to my map help someone please.I cant get mesh or wire frome where am I going wrong

figured out after some plying with radiant how to get the mesh but still working on getting the texure to show any suggestions

make a brush the size of the terrain, select it, click patch > terrain > & specify your density.

The terrain manipulation (hills and dents) can be done with the terrain editor (shotcut: 'y'). Select paint height from the terrain editor, select your terrain patch, and off you go :)
The only thing you need to be carefull of is that you pick a texture that is solid. For example most snow textures require seperate clipping. (In order for you to be able to stand on it.)

Also check the tutorial page for cod1 for terrain patch tutorials.
