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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
