Thinking Big - Torq's landgrab - choose a territory

Yes, please make a 16-bit png. Simplifies my life ginormously.

Mwahahahah I have it !!!

Thanks to Monks, a free terragen to tif converter, a few custom programs to get to raw and image magick to PNG16 we have what IM reckons to be png16 files.

I havent checked them and I know the scaling is not perfect but heres some links. Again - they are big so only get em if you have to - and I wouldnt rely on saving the file from your browser window, use its "save link as" option or else it might drop it from 16bit to 8bit.

World
Region

Monks reckons that the Region range = -3607.4 to 8142.3 ft. I have scaled it so that it takes the full white range for maximum accuracy so you will have to adjust accordingly. And I have clipped it a bit so if the max range is within the border then it will be out also. The image size is 6144x5120 which is 6x5 x 1024x1024 tiles cut to the edges of the Torq's array.

Brilliant Redrobes. This is an invaluable resource for this project. Thanks for all the hard work and research that you have put in so far and the support you have given this project. Tried to rep you but it seems I have to spread some round first.

Cheers Torq, knowing that you tried is good enough. Now I have to play a little catch up. Theres some great maps coming along.

Glad to see you got your raw file in the end!

Thanks for trying tho Ravs. I dont know FT at all but Monks said that...

FT can only export viewports as mdr so ft to hf2 was out- hence the tg detour.

...so we went from mdr to tg to ter to tiff to gray to png. I also have the HF2 for myself too.

Were you using a file that was just the region or did you have to zoom in and save a viewport from Neons World4 original. And did you find a way to save a raw file directly ?

Another question I am thinking now is should I try to use the WIP scraper (like that of the challenge thumbnail generator) to generate a 6x5 tile webpage of everyones sectors ?

RedRobes... you really work too hard... work to hard to make our lives easier

Wow. File>>Save As with type Special MDR in FT will output the height field at arbitrary resolution in the equirectangular projection for the whole world. Wilbur loads the MDR and saves a 16-bit PNG surface. Or did I miss something?

It was a file of the whole planet. I don't think that there's a way to export in raw as a particular view.

I m not familiar enough to comment on its ability so ill just quote what Monks told me...

FT does export current viewport extents. I've tried the .mdr export and Wilbur is fine with it (well it would be). I'm not sure of the bit depth right now and I'm not sure if one can do this as a raw either but I can take it through other apps to get it to a hf2 anyway

...and then later...

FT can only export viewports as mdr so ft to hf2 was out- hence the tg detour.

...So I know he tried the FT to Wilbur route. Thats all I know but Monks tends to know about these things as he transfers between apps a lot so I just took it that it must be true. It sounds like I could have got to png16 easier then but I need hf2 so I derived the png from the hf2.
