Importing Maps

[Ignoraminous]

Howdy,
Anyone had any success with importing maps into the editor? The only documentation that I found only said that it needs to be a .tga file that is "not too big". I haven't gotten anything to work yet; always get a "can't import map" error. Are there published specs somewhere for this?

thanks anyone

Yes, I find it likes simple .tga files, it seems to automatically crop them to a square if you haven't done so already, and interprets lighter areas as water and darker as land.

This method has given me a basic map, but in going back and forth from the "edit land" mode I find it alters the shoreline each time. I've played around with "lock seed" but with mixed results.

Using black and white did the trick. Thanks for the help!
