[Help] Terrain Issue

[CTRifle]

any thoughts? I have the island in a DEM and a .tif if I need it. In geo it loads like that, and in L3DT it loads super stretched vertcally, I cant even edit it.

Change the max height.

x2,

with scaled down terrain you also need to scale down the height otherwise it looks really odd.

[CTRifle]

So do what exactly?

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Reduce the max permitted height of your map.

[CTRifle]

In geo? Because when I try to do that, it doesnt work, nothing happens

[Pvt.LHeureux]

In BF2 editor I think. You can in the level tweak bar.

SOLVED-ish, I just did a bit of editing in photoshop to the .raw and its fixed for the map, thanks tho guys

I hope you didn't change the height of your terrain in the heightmap by just darkening the image.... You should use the full range of your heightmap so you get the max amount of height control aswell as it will reduce the amount terrain lods impacts on "warping" your terrain.

As said before, change the max height in your level settings options here:



L3DT also has a min and max height options, dunno about Geo Control but I expect it dose too somewhere.

Yes, but I changed that but all that did was stretch the terrain vertically, where as what I wanted to bring that island up. The .tif had a black area around it which meant level 0 of terrain, so I raised the levels a bit to raise the island a bit higher so the water doesnt cut off the shores and what not

Ye, most DEM data classes the sea level as 0 height, where you need to manually make the sea bed.
