1.16 Maps' Terrain Height Maps?
« on: July 22, 2019, 03:20:33 am »
I wanted to make a map (like a guide map, not Feral-Heart's map) by placing the height maps together (and probably editing the size but I'll deal with that later) so that I could mark certain areas possibly for a roleplay. I know there are map guides, but I'm talking about a full, pieced together image of either the height maps or if I could find perfect top down images that display everything, but I don't want to be off on placement or have everything look foggy from the distance.

Thing is, I can't actually find the images anywhere. Would it be alright if someone sent them to me or something? Is it okay? I wouldn't use it for my own Feral-Heart map's height map, just for a personal-use guide kind of map.

I don't believe the actual height maps are available to view as they're packaged into the .fhm files within the game's folders! This is to make sure no one is using the height maps for their own projects and claiming credit as well as it's just how "downloaded" maps tend to work ^^

I'm not sure if there's a way to view the map in-game fully zoomed out, but you're welcome to try it and take a screenshot and simply blow it up to be larger!


You are amazing <3

I started this project, but to get the highest resolution, you have to use the mini map and screenie a LOT. The old staff might have them still. I have EP. (posted a few times).

A warning though. Almost none of the maps align easily.

Here's what I came up with for alignment, ish. Ignore old bonfire; it was an idea that never happened. Obviously.

The staff has all of the height maps in a 513x513 resolution, but as Bloo mentioned they won't be directly given away to anyone to avoid their usage for own projects.

Entirely understandable. I think bawfle did one of these too.

Ah, thank you guys. I understand. I've seen Bawfle's and many of the images don't work.

I found another that uses screenshots of the minimap I might be able to use, just have to add Kibou Ridge.

Thank ye guys!
