Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
Two questions Mark:
1. Can you produce maps with an "angle" relative to North (say, top of sp map facing East)?
2. Does it really work?

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
1. Can you produce maps with an "angle" relative to North (say, top of sp map facing East)?
Yes, DEM maps assume that the "top" of the map is North. But you can alter this by using a image processing program like Paint Shop Pro to rotate the exported image 90 degrees left, right or whatever degree until you have your desired angle....which is why I highly recommend getting Paint Shop Pro if you ever intend to do any game development work.
2. Does it really work?
Oh yes it does.

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
Could you post a full map for use in the game created with this?

Aokay

Shadow valley is created using that method. I know it doesn't look very "bright" or "interesting", but that area really IS that lifeless on Google Earth imagery of that area. |

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
It's been seven years, and I'm going to update the tutorials; since *sigh* MicroDEM has changed a lot -- and I didn't keep the older versions; along with the way NASA/USGS organized their global digital elevation maps.

Mark,
Can you place these instructions in a downloadable zip file? This way you can upload it to your own cpu at home. Looks very interesting....THANKS!
