Hi all,

Just thought I'd let you know I'm making a Heightmap. It'll be pretty much the exact shape as the map on TES website. But I added some rivers from AD's new map. I just need DA to go on AIM and settle some issues with TESAnnwyn. But it's no major ones. Stay tunned for some screen shots Wink

They'll be plain, land, no textures or detail, just incase anyone thinks I'm doing any region editing after I make the HM :D All in due time though.

Cool!
For the land textures and stuff are we going to generate it or place it all by hand? Confused

Generate, then people may claim areas to give it a realistic feel.

Eek 1 Wow, *cough* How large was your island? Did you do it all in one go, that might have been the reason. You need to break it up into regions, and do it region by region. All in one go would explain why it took, erhm, 8 hours :D

Thats my plan yes, meaning it will be on the same scale as Elsweyr. And it should work fine for Falinesti.

That scale wont make a difference, valenwood could be onehundred time bigger than elswyr and you can still import the plants...
luckily its not onehundred times bigger! Rocking Banana

Well I finally overcame TESAnnwyn, it really is a nice program to play with once you get used to it. I'm having problems while importing into the CS though. Whenever I put the HM in everything is fine besides the borders, which have extreme height variance in block like shapes (small). I went into PS again and blurred all the borders but the height variance remains, does anyone know what could be the cause of this?

EDIT: By borders I mean between land and sea.

Way over my head Cool

Some of the other BC leaders and the Silgrad team must have an idea though right? A few of them have height maps I'm guessin, could drop a PM their way.

Silgrads heightmap (template I should say) I made with geocontrol Tongue I'm not using that for this as I believe TESAnnwyn is better because we can draw a perfect HM that way.

As you can see, this is the only thing in my way right now (picture). I think you can make out the borders between water and land (just look at the crazy colours Tongue ).

I used photoshop to draw the HM, I then imported my .bmp into the CS with TESAnnwyn. Then it was just a matter of noise adding with the HM editor in the CS. That last part can be avoided if you have someone that can draw the height data on the map straight away.
