[. . . ] Course Architect 2000 INTRODUCTION Welcome to EA SPORTS Course ArchitectTM 2000. For years, this tool has been used by EA SPORTSTM to design, build, and export golf courses for our golf games. For the first time, you can use these professional design tools to build the golf course of your dreams. And, you can import your dream course into Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 2000 or Tiger Woods 99 PGA TOUR® Golf to challenge the pros to a round or tournament on your custom course. [. . . ] Click ADVANCED to open the horizon properties. Under the Horizon tab, select a different horizon from the basename dropdown list. To apply the horizon to your course, click APPLY. HOW TO CHANGE THE SKY Skies are not textures that you can position and manipulate. To change the sky, you define the set of general appearance characteristics from which the game can randomly select one to display. Advanced Horizon and Sky Settings. HOW TO ADD OBJECTS You can add objects like trees, rocks, and other types to the surface of your terrain. And you can embed them in the surrounding landscape. Placing Objects. HOW TO POPULATE AN AREA WITH OBJECTS Suppose you want to plant a grove of trees along the left side of your fairway. To place them one-by-one is a tedious process. With the Populate tool, you can place multiple trees--or another object type--within a selected terrain area. You can also populate with multiple object types. For example, you can populate a grove with two kinds of trees. Or you can populate an area with trees and rocks. Populating Areas. HOW TO REPOSITION THE TEES Each hole has four different tees from which golfers can play. In order of increasing difficulty, the tees are red, white, blue, and black, where the PGA Page 76 Course Architect 2000 TOUR Tournament golfers begin. In standard practice, the tees are placed in order of increasing distance from the green. Four tee outlines are placed on the hole when you create it. To reposition a tee, you use a process that is different from other outlines. Instead of grabbing the outline, you click and drag the shot path. A colored dot indicates the tee identifier. If you can't see the Hole Information pop-up, select it from the Hole tab toolbar. If you cannot see the shot paths in 2D View, they should appear after you select Hole Information button. In 2D View, you can see the color-coded shot paths that link each tee to the green. [. . . ] In Course Architect 2000, the scorecard displays the length of each hole and general course information. Shadows In Course Architect 2000, you can position the sun and assign its luminance to cast shadows across the terrain and objects for realistic or dramatic effect. From each tee on the hole, the shot paths indicate the optimal aiming points for each shot until the ball lands in the hole. In the game, computer-controlled players use the shot paths as aiming devices. [. . . ]
