RealDarko -- I had a look at your file. It seems to be straight from 3DEM without any further work being done on it yet.
I have used Photoshop Elements for image editing. Others are using Gimp http://www.gimp.org/
Both have been used successfully.
To do the map work you need to be a competent user of an image editing programme such as one of these (not necessary to be an expert) 'cause I'm not.
You need to crop your map_h.tga to the size you want. At the moment the image seems to extend too far south.
Have you been able to set up your map folder and open it in FMB as I described in the earlier PM?
It is useful to set up a Test Map Folder like this so that you can look at the various files and understand how they work together.
If so, then proceed with preparing your map_*.tga files
map_h is first. You have nearly got this done but it needs to be cropped to the right size.
Now prepare map_c. Select all the sea area on map_h (RGB 0). Inverse select to get the land area and paint the land area RGB 255 (white).
Now resize the image to be 4x the map_h size. Save this as MWmap_c.tga
Only when you have done both of these are you ready to use the map_c tools, so we can talk about those later.
