Omenowl Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I would like to play large maps, but don't have the patience/enthusiasm to do much of the terrain modeling. I was wondering if it was possible to import digital elevation models as grids into the editor as some future point. It would also be nice if the same could be applied to land use cover. Basically go to the USGS website pull up the landcover and DEMs and viola you have a real world location with realistic terrain and contours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Democrats? As interesting as it might be to face a company of Pelosis armed with more than a bad face lift and two year old versace dress as body armor I can't believe it would be that. ...would it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenowl Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Being far too lazy to actually be involved in every government decision I must admit I lean more to a republic style of government. Still it would be fun to have Fort hood or Knox war games or a civil war in the united states without having to do every map from scratch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It certainly would be a time saver. I just never can figure how you mesh the editor and an outside map source 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omenowl Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Democrats are never to be spelled out with capitals only in lowercase IE dems=democrats, Digital Elevation models=DEMs. Both are all over the map, but one has values that are fairly static and is reliable. One is free and the other takes money out of you wallet. One was money well spent producing and the other is unpalatable choice amongst many unpalatable choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicoch Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Aww, how cute, stupid political discussions from people that think they're witty. Honestly, isn't there another forum or another topic you could do that in instead of a serious topic with a suggestion for simplifying map making? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkEzra Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Funny is taking a re-signing bonus that stipulates a certain period of time. Going to war for your country...getting your leg blown off. Get a letter from the Pentagon telling you that you owe 'em money cause you didn't do your full tour...Yeah...I just laughed my ass off when my Repugnacant Congressman Votes against Increasing Veteran benefit. Nicoch is right...Take this witty crap elsewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
