I have a question and I appologize if this has been asked prior.
I've been using the maptool in this thread (
http://www.venhola.com/maps/)
and have been very impressed with the ease of obtaining realistic map heights for real world locations.
However, it's driving me crazy trying to emplace streams and lakes which occur on heights above "0" elevation. Which I know is obvious to members of the forum, you can place streams on "10" elevations but they move to "0". In game design, this may not be an issue unless you try to put streams or lakes on higher than "10" levels. The drop is simply to drastic and you have to greatly modify the map heights generated by the tool.
My computer programing days have long past and I surely don't have the expertise to critique or advise on the problem. Is there anyway to allow streams or lakes in higher elevations. Streams progress downstream as well as lakes can be on any elevation. It would be great to be able to emplace these terrain features onto the elevations produced through the map tool.
In a wish list of improvements to the game mechanics, this would have to be my highest wish.
Anyone have any answers?
