Default Re: Map making problems "Drawing maps contour bitmap" hanging

OK I believe I have this figured out. It actually wasnt a bug per se but an error handling issue(garbage in/out). What I figured out was happening was that if there were white speckles in the selection area(yellow box) of the greyscale heightmap that was causing the problems drawing the contour bitmaps.
So you can either not select those areas for your map, OR when your converting the map in VTbuilder click on ELEVATION - FILL IN UNKNOWN AREAS - EXTRAPOLATION VIA PARTIAL DERIVATIVES.
Then export the map to ASCII as usual.
