Confused-- Terrain Files

[Freda Frostbite]

I am about to create another world for a large project. I am considering using a pre-created terrain file and wonder what size terrain file I need for a 3 X 3 or 4 X 4. Does anyone know?

Multiply by 256, so
3x3=768x768
4x4=1024x1024

In world those are metres, in a terrain file they are pixels.

The upper height limit is also a multiple of 256, I can't offhand remember if in Kitely it's 4096 or 8912, but it's probably so high you don't need to worry. You're unlikely to make any hills that big.

There's some information here http://wiki.osgrid.org/index.php/Terrain_RAW_Files
Probably more than you want to know, but the first few lines might be helpful.

There are also a few random resources for terrains here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/183 ... eFeb26.pdf

Thanks, Graham, that was actually my guess as to how to figure it, but I was just guessing.
