And if you have 20 holes punched into the terrain, the holemap compresses better when they are one big hole (all adjacent) rather than spread out as single individual small holes across the map. So, a holemap without any holes compresses better than one with holes. This means using as few unique values/patterns as possible, and having repeated data. To counter this, make sure that your terrain (vegetation/texture/holemap/heightmap) is greatly compressable. Problem saving map for upload? The resulting mapfile may be too big.Ī save error happens when the compressed map is too large to upload.
