greyscale topographic maps would be an awesome addition to PR

What is the status on the topo-maps?

I would like very much to see them in-game, especially for the CO.

If you read the thread topo maps may not be desirable.

e.g. Ed Macy states in his book 'apache' that Helmand province has been too dangerous to map for decades.

I really like it, but I also like the satellite maps.
Do soldiers still use topographical maps?

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I tried following the instructions on page 1 and have had no luck. I downloaded GIMP and tried to open a HeightMapPrimary.raw file and it did not recognize the format.

Hey, download the dds plugin for GIMP.

GIMP DDS plugin

Try this link for a .raw plugin. I havn't tested these but I hope it puts you on the right track.

GIMP raw
As for the .raw, it should work but I only used Photoshop for this. I'll try to look into it for you though, because I hope someone continues this project. I'll be of all the assistance I can but I don't have much free time anymore.

This looks really neat.

I like this alot. Perhaps if you could switch between the two forms?

hello! hope someone is still active here and can help me out.

I ran into a problem following the 2. post walkthrough.
It starts when importing the heightmap into "Wilbur". After converting the map using
"Texture -> other Maps -> Contour Map...".
I end up with a thing as shown below. Doesn't seem very useful to me.
Where did I go wrong? Any hints?

*note:
thers no need to screenshot the new texture inside wilbur, just save it as
"PNG Texture (*.png)" rather than "PNG Surface (*.png)"

*solved:
pushing the "Contour Interval" up to over 800 seems to work somehow.
