Tutorial for map generation from topo map data?

[sevenless]

Hi, Is there a tutorial somewhere for creating your own map from publically available map topo data? Lets say, generate a map of the BAOR Alsfeld/Weser area using DTM 1metre data?

There is a guide on Matrix games ftp site for AB1:

Hey thanks! Something like that is exactly whatt I was looking for.

That map making guide says that you need to edit \data\scenario\development.cfg in order to enable the in-game map editor, but I don't see that file in my install folder.
I have otherwise been able to create heightmap and terrain files that the game loads OK. (though noted that the .bmp files need to be 24-bit to work)

The PDF version has some broken or missing links. Better to use the forum version, "MAP making tutorial": https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=10290

A direct link to the thread doesn't seem to work here.

AB2 has the config file in "Documents\My Games\Armored Brigade 2\development.ini".
