Once i've had chance to try myself, i'll probely write a quick tut on how to do your detailmaps with geocontrol aswell. Now you should have your pretty ass map in bf2. (copy files to maps editor folder, set terrain layers 1-3 and the rest). I'll assume you know how to use this by now, if not get reading that link But to split a custom image with it place your colourbig.tga file inside the tpaint root folder and set the image's properties to read only. TGA 24bit file and name it 'colourbig', you will need to get BF2_TPaint to split the image up and to generate detailmaps. raw image inside your levels root map folder and delete the old HeightmapPrimary.raw file and name yours to HeightmapPrimary.Ħ) Now find your terrain texture you exported, you will need to split this image up for the colormaps. Header 0, IBM PC.ĥ) Place your heightmap. Channels count 1, 16bits, IBM PC settings. Or better and quicker use Battlegroup Frontline's Heightmap Utility to resize to 1025x1025 (one pixel bigger) Link to BGF's heightmap tool. (Top Generation tab/ Terrain Export)ģ) Now to export the terrain texture you will have to set your terrain size to 4096 x4096 first, then export your texture (Render/Texture/Shader List/Export)ĭone with geocontrol now, time to get your terrain into your level.Ĥ) Resize your Heightmap in Photo Shop or anyother image editing software that supports raw files. Export your terrain in geo control as a RAW (16bit) file. To make this easy im guessing your making a 1024x2 map otherwise any image sizes i talk about below should be halfed for a 512x2 map and so on.Ģ) Set your terrain size in geocontrol to 1024 if it isn't already (Side Generation tab). So if you've made your terrain and painted it in geocontrol by following this LINK to the video tutorials, and you want to get your terrain into bf2 then read on. Well i and im sure CB couldn't tell you much more than the great video tuts available on the site could as for making and painting a terrain with it.
