Welcome to the hive. Well since your interested in Terraining I'm sure you've seen the terrain board on the site. I think you should really look at some of void's and others terrains in the Stickied "Legendary" thread. Also for a few tips on terraining you may also want to take a look at a few of the well made terrain tutorials.

Welcome to Hive, DragonForce_Tfaf

These are the steps on using Terrain 1.0:
1. Just make a map with the editor.
2. Save the map.
3. Open Gimp/Photo shop or someting and make a new image. The height (width) must be height (width) of the map + 1 Pixel. Make the backgrund black and draw your terrain with a light-tool, as lighter as heighter (as darker as lower).
4. Save the image to a TGA-File.
5. Open the tool.
6. Load the tga and the map.
7. Press the "Convert"-Button an save the w3e-file.
8. Open your map with WinMPQ.
9. Delete the "war3map.w3e".
10. Add the converted w3e-file (step 7).
11. Rename the file to "war3map.w3e".
12. Close WinMPQ.
13. Open your map with the editor and place your units etc....

Have fun at this site!
