Earth

_Idea
As you may have seen, I am going on with another project, "Eroded Islands". Most of the maps I do I try to get them to look realistic. What better way to do that then use a random terrain generator?

That is what "Eroded Islands" is about, random terrain generation, but this map will be much different, in the scope that it is not random at all, it is our world, Earth. I am using a height map of Earth, and I will also be using textures from the actual Earth, hopefully.

_Progress
Expect the map to be finished and released soon, all progress can be tracked here: http://mapdesign.weebly.com

_{In Addition}
If the map is successful, and I don't run into a crap-load of bugs, I'll make a "Space" type area above the ground which may include a model of the Moon.

What about that Solar System map you were making? I was so looking forward to that. :(

I am still thinking about that, but for now the Earth map will be a priority. I figured out some of the issues I was dealing with, but I am still stuck on parts. :/

Thats what I had a problem with too. When I tried to make a large island map. :(

You can't expand the mission area. You can increase the terrain block size which will make the terrain loop less frequently. However, this won't actually increase the number of possible points to define the terrain with, you just work with more spread out points (bigger triangles).

This will totally break water though so if you want any water on your earth you should probably not do this.

This apparently was a failure from the start. I can't fit an Earth into a 256x256 area, and then when I partly do, it looks like stuff because of lack of detailing. Might as well just forget it.
