Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
Two questions Mark:
1. Can you produce maps with an "angle" relative to North (say, top of sp map facing East)?
2. Does it really work?

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM

Yes, DEM maps assume that the "top" of the map is North. But you can alter this by using a image processing program like Paint Shop Pro to rotate the exported image 90 degrees left, right or whatever degree until you have your desired angle....which is why I highly recommend getting Paint Shop Pro if you ever intend to do any game development work.
2. Does it really work?
Oh yes it does.

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
Could you post a full map for use in the game created with this?

Aokay
Link
Shadow valley is created using that method. I know it doesn't look very "bright" or "interesting", but that area really IS that lifeless on Google Earth imagery of that area. |

Re: How to make maps using WW2Map and MicroDEM
It's been seven years, and I'm going to update the tutorials; since *sigh* MicroDEM has changed a lot -- and I didn't keep the older versions; along with the way NASA/USGS organized their global digital elevation maps.
