NOTE:I've used the search on the PR forums and BF2Editor forums, and Google. No luck. I may not haven't typed the right question/words.

It about when creating a new terrain in the "Create new terrain".
So basicly my question is what're the difference between the combinations?

Size: 256
Scale: 2
Level size: 512

Size: 512
Scale: 1
Level size: 512
-----------------------------
Size: 256
Scale: 4
Level size: 1024

Size: 512
Scale: 2
Level size: 1024

Size: 1024
Scale: 1
Level size: 1024
--------------------------
Size: 512
Scale: 4
Level size: 2048

Size: 1024
Scale: 2
Level size: 2048
------------------------
Size: 1024
Scale: 4
Level size: 4096

This thread should be in the modding section. Anyway: The "size" is the number of pixels the heightmap has on each side, e.g. a map of size 512 is a 512x512 pixel sized heightmap. (The heightmap is a black-white picture describing the elevation in different shades of grey)

The scale is how many metres each pixel represents in the game.

So the levels real size is pixelsize*scale. And the result, is exactly what you got there!

The difference between does settings is how high resolution the map is. If you say want to make a 2x2km map. The best choice is 1024*1024 pixels with a scale of 2m as you will be able to detail the terrain more. If you had done the map in 512*512 and a scale of 4m it would be unnecessary hard to model the terrain.

I hope that's answer enough.

yup just saw the it was in the wrong section... Sorry about that.

Thanks for the answer.
