heres a pic, yes i have the zone info set up, i just made this realy quick and didnt wanna open up a level.......
EDIT: i dont use a texture, i make a flat terrain in uEd tnem use the tools, it makes its own texturte, it worked before...
EDIT: now i cant create any terrain at that size in any map...

Wow , i understand why it crash now. Always use preferably 128X128 , and scale it from the Terrain info actor then. ONS-Torlan is 128X128
Here take a look, i am working on this right now, belive me or don't , the terrain is at 128X128
You can see the little ONS turret in the Bottom-right , the little red dot , just to give you an idea on how 1280 would totaly unplayable

I usually use 256x256 because most of my maps are heavily terrain-based.
Hell, UWRC-Alpine was 512x512.

You relly dont need that high resolution,to make the terrain bigger without increasing the resolution of the heightmap,go into the TerraIninfo's properties,and go to TerrainInfo and change the TerrainScale.When you make the terrain have a resolution 4096x4096,it tries to make a terrain made of 33554432 triangles,which is what is making your editor crash.

IT SHOULD BE SMALL!!!!
4096x4096 is WAY TOO HUGE!!!!!!!
Trye 256x256, that'll give you normal sized terrain (think roughly the size if UWRL-TrainRace)
ah ok... almost fixed it then
will go in there to try again...
is there like a staticmesh that i can use so that when i put it in the world i can see the scale of things... cuz right now all i see is just some simple shapes on the terrain, and the texture, and not much else...

Just to give you an idea, just multipy the numbers together and thats the number of polys that terrain will have, a 4096 X 4096 would have 16,777,216, the Unreal Engine 2 itself cant handle that size of a terrain so stick to 256 X 256 as your Max but a 128X 128 should be more than enough (steve has even done some amazing things with a 32 X 32).

I stick to 512 as a max really, but I use that size very sparingly with heavy amounts of distance fog (Alpine)
look a 512x512 terrain size WILL NOT be of size 512x512. It will be 512 triangles x 512 triangles. Probably about the size of 16384x16384, and you can always scale the size of each triangle anyway in the terraininfo properties.
you could do it unreal1 style , and use the bsp terrain...like thats if you dont want to bother with the zoneinfo actor and the terrain actor...
what i thought of doing, was like, making a snowy mountain scene where there is a smooth snow terrain, with bsp terrain that sticks through it at random places to form the exposed rocky parts...

BSP Terraiin is teh devil!
You will get serious FPS drops and BSP Holes!
Use meshes!
