DevBlog #32 - Create your own custom maps — StaudSoft's Synthetic World Beta Steam update #233626

I uploaded a new version to Steam which allows you to create your own custom maps. You can create in a paint program a heightmap and then use it to create a Synthetic World map. You can also define the vegetation level and the climate zones. 2 example maps are included.

If (100,100,100) is white (like it is for example with Corel Draw the case) then (25,25,25) would be the water level. The height map is smoothed when loaded into the game. Here is the example map which is included: Heightmap: http://www.staudsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/example1.jpg Climazone (...
