You're kinda right Flyboy, there are ample terrains. But still I would like to see the possibility to make new full customized maps.
Those heightmaps are pretty easy to generate and to edit. And with new colormaps (maybe even photos overlayed) it may be a way to get the terrains more detailed.

The problem I ran into at a quick approach is that the *.pcx files from the resource.pff used for the terrains seem to be no standard format and can't be opened or edited in any picture editing software. Importing new terrains in a standard .pcx format also doesn't work, comanche just gives an error when loading it.

Maybe someone has an idea about this? Could be worth a try imho...if we could figure this out wink

Hi, this is the Delta Force 1 singleplayer demo map imported into Comanche Gold!



This is a link to the mission to compare!



I overrode the Free Flight Training Map, thats why the Map Objects are a bit out of place.
Also the Colour and Heightmaps are still of the old terraina.
I haven't yet managed to import it into the Mission Editor, but i'll keep trying.

Ok here is how to Swap Terrains in the Mission Editor.

First you open the .mis file of a mission, in this case we take the last mission of Frozen Friendship which is c3m8.mis.
Then you look for the lines marked in red!



Then you open the editor.exe with a Hexeditor and look for the terrains .pcx files.
Then you override the lines in the Hexeditor with the ones in the .mis file.



The first three .pcx files are the most important. If you are swapping a snow map for another snow map you don't need the last three
.pcx files.
You have to be careful that the number of letters match the ones in the hexeditor.

This is the new map added to the mission editor.

Yes! As you see the name of the Terrain is also there and you can change it.

I would always swap a snow terrain with snow , green with green, night with night etc.

I haven't tried it yet. But it might be possible to swap 3Dobjects with the Hexeditor or you could change them in the mrf file, also with a hex editor.

No problem. I've managed to add the Armored Fist 2 demo map to the mission editor.





You just have to extract the pcx files from Armored fist 2 and import them into comanche golds resource.pff.
Delta Force 1 Maps crashes the mission editor.

Nice! I forgot to ask, are you able to collide with the new terrain and does the collision map match the terrain shape?

I do not change nothing in Armored Fist 2 maps, I only check whether they can be used in Comanche Gold
Sorry maybe I can not understand the question :-(
