So far the program works pretty good. Shame there is no multi-threading for corrosion etc yet but it will probably come one day in the future
So the situation is as follows: I create these heightmaps for a game, which can load PNG's up to 4096x4096 to generate the map. The game interprets around 000000 as pure black, wheras it interpets FFFFFF as 500 meter as maximum altitude. Again fairly normal.
So far so good, but I run into a few obstacles. First of all, I tried fiddling around with all the various settings in the heightmap designer, but I just cant seem to manage to get enough water in the game. There simply arent enough black spots on the heightmap that's being created. Only a very few select spots come out as water, the rest is all too much above black to make it count as water.
So far I've tried to do some heightmap clipping, not much luck. I tried to mess around with values when exporting as PNG with 8 bit and use various settings from -255 to 255 etc but again no luck. So im confused about this, what needs to be done to obtain what i want to achieve? At this point i achieve what i want with loading up the PNG in photoshop and adjust the black levels, to get the appropriate height levels but its rather inconvenient.
Further more i have some other questions. Usually I edit the map even further with my own hand to actually make small black lines in it to mimic rivers etc. Or make a big pond in the middle of the map, or a mix of both. Is L3DT able to do this for me as well? Like make some predefined ponds on specific locations, or some random made black lines (rivers) with some random width all over the map?
Sorry for the long post. Cya!
