that sounds neat johnie, here's the higher res map

The problem with that file is that it is 256 colors. The .raw files used by supreme commander are 16 bits. This means if you use a 8-bit map as the base it won't be smooth at all. Veta, if you are still in contact with that guy, ask him if he can make a 16-bit version.

I doubt it would matter much. You'll increase the fidelity of the mapping but the highest point will still be white and the lowest still black, the additional values will be interpolated in the old ones, rather than additional values above the old ones.

I think it will be easier to do something like a 2 pixel box blur with photoshop.

The source image is 4096x10240, while a 20x20 map is 1024x1024, so it compresses around 16 pixels into one, so your probably right that that interpolation gives enough detail.

EDIT: I imported the heightmap and after changing stuff, I got this. If people want the original PSD or RAW file, just say. This map is gonna need a lot of work to make it playable and I don't really have time for that now.

that's a shame glad there was some interest though

I might touch it ,but at the moment I have another 2 huge maps to fix and real life is hammering on the door. :O
