REALLY!?! OMFG damnit! If I had know that I would be much happier.

Keep your eyes peeled, cause I will release a new version tonight with a 16 bit raw and see how that changes things. Unless I'm mistaken that should smooth it out more.

Will the new map format support higher resolution heightmaps? As in larger than ( 1/8 ) the texturemap. (Das bruce, bpp != resolution)

that would be very nice!

Anyone played this map? And if YES, how does it play?

That appears to be what he said.

The old mapconv could take raw files, I suppose the new one should be able to.

ice, all the textures are high resolution... My settings are on the lowest, for fps sake.

hmm, allowing higher resolution images even alloowing changing the proportions from 1/8th would be a matter fo messing with the mapconv source.

Although effectively ingame you cannot get more than 1/8th because of the way the engine works.

A gamesquare is 8x8 pixels ingame, and each gamesquare has a height, hence why you cant have a higher than 1/8th resolution because each gamesquare is 8x8 pixels thus 8x8 pixels of texture for each of the smallest heightmap pixels.
