Heightmap.raw

[MUD]

While I'm waiting for the Game purchase to process, I thought I'd get a head start on figuring out the heightmap.raw


I thought the 'contents' of a raw file would be exactly 8388608 bytes(2049^2 *

16bits). It's actually +8194 bytes.

Line breaks?
Header? Sub-Header?

Crap, I did 2048^2 and not 2049^2.

i'm posting here just because of title..don't want to create a new topic just for this.
i'm having a really hard time with the heightmap: i'm converting from mx sim, but starting from the original .psd file i used for that, just saving it in .raw instead of .png.
problem is the heightmap in mapview, tracked and in game is completely messed up!
i set the parameters correctly in the .tht and .hmf files, triple checked, file is saved correctly 16 bit, greyscale, no alpha, 2049x2049 ibm, file size 8201kb
what happens is that the range from 50% grey to white gets a bit overscaled, while from that to black is almost flat.
my guess is that the color profile is wrong, but it's the same color profile i always used in mx sim and never had any problem when saving .png for that game.
any help guys?
i know it's something stupid, but i can't get it!

Did you make sure to click 'IBM PC' under byte order when saving?
Did you make sure To merge your image as 1 layer before saving? ( if you didn't, it might of skipped a couple layers)

yes and yes.

That happens on some corners of the test track geofanatic posted. Maybe he knows whats up

You are going to get sick of me bugging you Geo lol...

Are you sure thats all you need to update? I changed my heightmap, did map.bat, loaded tracked, reloaded centerline, saved, put in folder and im sinking in my old heightmap..

Anything to do with terrained?

after map.bat you need to run the trh.bat, then open tracked, load centerline, merge it, than save.

Forgot to mention trh.bat...

Also, my problem here was that I was not updating the .map file.. only the trh. The .map is the 'map graphics' according to the wiki, gave it a try and bam, there we go!

Back in business 

Thanks Geo and Gio x

Exicted to see what Gio has up his sleeve😀

i actually don't have much..
physics at current stage of development doesn't allow much..basically the bike doesn't go anywhere except on perfectly horizontal terrain and it's a pain in the ass to restart if you crash uphill, so for now i'm going to scrap thunder valley, red bud, unadilla and maggiora.
i'm going to start tomorrow with lierop that i never released for mx sim but (heightmap wise) is almost done, and since it's super flat should ride well in mx bikes.

..btw, is it possible to add sand as a ground material?
