[Util] ZDoom Terrain Generator

You are probably saving it as a 24bit bitmap (or 32bit), any good program should give you the option to choose when you save.

[Mivalekan]

Okay you should REALLY make a text file because I can't figure out how the HELL you work this thing.

[Siggi]

This thing is sooooo cool.
although, I did kinda make a 230mb wad by accident
PS - don't use 1600x1200 wallpapers

just cropping that heightmap in the corner of Grubber's pic and using that, produced a 7 meg wad file that zdoom, xwe, and doombuilder either wouldn't load or would take seemingly forever. i had to reduce the image to 64x64 then use it. that worked. ~700k wad.

How do you get it to work in XP?

In Photoshop: Image -> Mode -> Grayscale, then File -> Save -> Format BMP, click OK, Windows, 8 bit

In Paint Shop Pro: When making a new image, just specify Greyscale (8 bit) in Image Type. If you didn't do this, do Colors -> Greyscale, which will convert it to 8-bit greyscale automatically. Then do File -> Save, choose Save as Type of Windows or OS/2 Bitmap.

In Paint, just make sure you only use gray colors (RGB values must be the same for each gray). Then save it as a 256 Color Bitmap.

How do you get it to work in XP?

Start -> run -> "cmd" in the command line
then goto the directory where zterrain is and type "zterrain -help"

[leileilol]

128x128 choked, but 64x64 and 48x48 are workable

Now all we need is shading on terrain (shadow cast "compilation" in zterrain with sun position?)

Grubber, as I constantly repeat next to my fellow worshiper:

PRAISE DA PROGRAMMER!!!!!

Source code?

Can you adjust the triangle size? Since there's probably a limit on the number of differently-sloped sectors (because they need unique TIDs?), it might be useful to create lower resolution terrain maps for bigger maps.

Awesome tool
I know i´ll use it a lot for skybox floors
