You can create a new folder alongside the ones inside terrainbank\ and then copy the files from a complete terrain to your new folder. You can then modify all these files as you see fit. Delete the 'superpalette' file and the engine will create a new one for you. Whatever textures you have in your terrainbank folder will be used when you select the folder name from the Terrain dropdown in the Test Game slider panel (press TAB twice).

@Lee can you have a look at the terrain when you get a min the black lines are a pain and is there a way you could make it so we can adjust the terrain so we can make it less repeatable as even with seamless textures it looks repetitive.

I am considering a new technique called texture splatting, which should speed up the terrain shader, eliminate the tiling issue by allowing you to paint pretty much whatever you want on it and also remove the banding issue you see when you cut through from texture A directly to D (meaning the shader transitions through B and C which is visible). Early days yet and just an item on my visual task list, but it's a high priority for performance reasons but will also yield better control of terrain visuals too.
