Quick question about heightmaps.. (Um.. Solved? ;3;)

[Kashii]

I've been doing this for a long time and all, but with a 513x513 image.
Now I've been flying around the internet for a while and I've seen that FH heightmaps (when you make them in let's say.. GIMP) work in 513x513, 1025x1025, and 2049x2049.

Is it true? I'm making a big map for one of my roleplays (it will be one of many maps for it) so I would appreciate if someone could help.
Note: It's more of a canyon map so I'm afraid that if I use a 513x513 sized greyscale image like I'm use to and resize it in FH map maker, it'll be too small and the cliffs will be too low.

Thank you for reading.

I think I tried the 1025 x 1025 and it worked, because I had heard this worked also.

Really, what would hurt testing out a simple height map with that size? Trial and error are good methods with this.

Very true, very true.
Thanks CloudFeeshz. :3 +nuzzle

No, It isn't true that you can use all of them for height maps in GIMP. I would think that they meant for the '1025x1025' and '2049x2049 to be the width and height of the map when it is loaded in map maker. 513x513 would be the size of the canvas you have to make the height map with. It wouldn't work otherwise.
