This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50

signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.

Subject:Question about Map size based off of height maps
Hey all wondering if you guys might be able to anwsner this question, ive been trying to import the height map for the asherons call world into cryengine(Farcry) but when I do this everything comes out very jagged and miniture, my question is when the asherons call engine produces the world im guessing its at a very large size does anyone know what resolution the height map is used at or the reason this might be happening? (i cant post a picture right now since im at school.)
The map in Asheron's Call is 254 by 254 landblocks. Each landblock contains a 9 by 9 grid of data points which makes for an 8 by 8 group of land squares in game. Each landblock has a unique id, which is a word in length, and has the format xxyyFFFF. In game, xx is the east-west position, and yy is the north-south position. Landblock 0000FFFF is located in the southwest corner of the map. Use /loc to find out which landblock you are on. Each square in a landblock is 0.1 wide and tall, making each landblock 0.8 by 0.8. Although each landblock contains 9 by 9 points, the points on the edges are redundant with adjacent landblocks. The entire map is 2041 by 2041 data points, making 2040 by 2040 squares. Lastly, each square is 24.0 by 24.0 units, whatever they may be.
Each of the data points has height associated with it. AC makes slopes between the points.
