Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

When I set up the download for the selected area, it shows up as a 40 MB download, but when its finished downloading, its only a few mbs. Like 7 or 8.

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

the 40mb is unzipped ... its a stupid system
packed its only about 10 mb

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

You said to write "NCOLS" + "NROWS" in the width, that is what got my error... you cant put words in PS for a hight/width.

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

lol - the numbers after that ... so not NCOLS - write "2156" or wahtever your file says =)

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

EDIT: LOL I didnt know I was suppposed to open that hdr file in notepad. You should add that to the tutorial.

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

I can't get the http://seamless.usgs.gov/ site to work. I get that far and then that site doesn't work. Maybe im missing something. I can't get it to show any terrain. Have the time when i try to scale it down, or imput any coordinates i get some error. I thought maybe it was Firefox, but no luck in IE either.

Yea i guess i had to set my pc's resolution to 1280X1024 for it to show. Going on to the next step...

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

Haha, yeah I should have been a little more clear on that... :laugh:

I've updated the tutorial with better instructions, and a screenshot of the .hdr file open in wordpad (notepad doesn't get the formatting right).

I hope everyone can do it now! Let me know if you still run into trouble.

Re: New Heightmap Tool Available

Please... if you'd like help, you need to supply some details:
- how far did you get? what did you try?
- what program gives you the error?
- what is the error? (exact quote / screenshot)

I really can't help you otherwise.
