I got a problem in the editor my terrain looks like this

its ripples and looks like it don't fit into my editor space

does anybody knows how to get it fixed?

it might be a problem with the layers or channels or just that you have to use smooth tool in PS

you get this issue if your PrimaryHeightmap.raw has not the correct size !
on a 1024x1024 it needs to be 1025x1025
on a 512x512 it needs to be 513x513
and so on ...

I resized it to 1025x1025 pixels in Photoshop

no but I found the error in BF2 editor

Ignored Warning[Physics] : Heightmap filesize does not match expected size. 2101250 != 526338

try 1024?

Durkie · Post by **Durkie** » 2009-12-06 13:21

slice doesnt work with 64 bit

aby other tools i could use instead?

can anyone do me a favour and slice it as i am getting nowhere with it

Zeno · Post by **Zeno** » 2009-12-06 22:07

T-paint have a slice function i think.. T-split?

thedare · Post by **thedare** » 2009-12-06 22:12

ohh yeah forgot about that. should fix my problems. also you can avoid the problems in photoshop by import the image straight into geocontrol!

Post by **Amok@ndy** » 2009-12-06 23:01

i usually use a tutorial of Fenring (ForgottenHope2) to get my geocontrol terrain into bf2
the advantages are that i have also generated a matching surrounding terrain

Zeno · Post by **Zeno** » 2009-12-09 08:26

teoreticaly you can import surrounding terrain to get real terrain in the out of bound areas with this tecnique

Hey I am trying this out though I have two problems. First of all The area that I want to use is relatively flat and therefore I can not really Identify it in microdem, is there a way that I can get a city overlay or do some coordinates in microdem to find the exact place.

The second problem is that I don't have photo shop and haven't been able to find other programs that can work with RAW images. So how do I import the image directly to geocontrol like thedare said can be done haven't been able to figure it out.

I have the same issue when using photoshop

Post by **Outlawz7** » 2010-03-20 13:14

I had to download that SRTM 4.1 thing separately, you don't get it by downloading that overlay link

Also MicroDEM doesn't work for me at all, what the hell are "DEM files" and whats with your data being saved as Flash AS file, while mine is .kml and can only be opened by Google Earth?
There is so much stuff not explained here.
