Kevinp, Thank You for the tutorial. I just finished the Manam Map and followed your in structions to the "T" and it turned out perfect.
So I tried to do a Map of South East Arizona where I live, I'll put the Douglas Army Airbase, and few others in the area on it.
My only problem is when I do the ed_Map_T.tga and the _f And_h.tga's, I don't have a ocean to color red/or black. And I have a impossible time trying to line the layers up to make the different colors on the map for the mountains and lowlands, like you did with the volcano track in the tutorial. The part where the water is grey(RGB7), land dark grey(RGB31), and volcano track black(RGB0).
Also is there a way to line up a map with a satillite image (temporarily) to get the area where the mountains and roads and washes are? And maybe use that to get the mountain textures and others area's.
I looked at viking4570 map of the Grand Canyon map_T_x.tga and it is extremely detailed. I'm sure he didn't hit and miss to add all that detail, (that's what I basically did with my first South East Arizona Map). My map_T.tga is one solid color black. So every thing is the same color as the Volacano Track on Manam.
The land in this area should be basically the same as vikings Grand Canyon Map.
Thank you in advance,
rustydawg
P.S. I noticed Vikings Grand canyon map did have a ocean level where there's Lake Mead.
