[Heightmap] Jamaica

[bpsucks]

Heres another one of Jamaica, quick and easy (about an hour).

This is my first one with any real elevation, looks pretty good.

High smoothing, high elevation change, no altitude.

Water at full puts it about right, maybe 75% or more to be good.

Roads will build over almost all of the hills and it seems to work very nice, grid is a little off but livable.

Have fun

It's because you need to shrink the size to 512 x 512 pixels.
Great map!

I was using Kuplo's red/white image from:

To help lay it out in the center, seemed making them just 512x512 didnt work as well, more testing then...


Thanks Zic

Ya I take the middle out of the images, the 512 portion and use that as the map only and it doesnt work, ends up zooming in on a portion of the map.

Using the full size it seems to render nicely.


Now only if I could make SCPacks out of these for the "official" website.

Just wanted to let you know that I installed this height map and played for about 5 minutes before the game froze. I've been playing the game since it came out and it never frozed or crashed. Not sure why it did now. I'm glad it did it right away though so I wasn't so far into the game.

Maybe because its a 1024 map size
