Re: Map your home turf
What program did you use to do that. I visited Bermuda earlier this summer and the terrain their was really cool. I would love to be able to recreate the terrain to be used in a map.

Re: Map your home turf
You load the satellite data into a program called 3dem and then export your selection to a TER file (terragen) Load the file into terragen, the terrain map appear flat, so go into the modify button and make sure that the Terrain Height (units) is between say 0 and 50. Export the heightmap to overwrite the RAW specific RAW files in your BF2 map pack and there you go.
Theres a few other things you need to be aware of, the size of the export from Terrgaen needs to be the size of your map +1 i.e. 256x257 map is 257x257. Export should be Intel Byte order.
As for the location of the satellite data, this is my fav at the moment http://data.geocomm.com/dem/demdownload.html You need to register there before download.
I would like to test to copy an actual photo to see if I can get close, but its finding the time at the moment.
