Uses world_elevation.bmp (map c) to make elevation map of world if it works.
Github
Latest version.
Depends: default.
To install:
1. Unzip the downloaded file and rename it to bmpmap and place it in mods folder .
2. Go to maps folder and put your bitmap image there or unzip the included map 7zipped.
3. If you put in your own map, edit mapgen.lua and set it to your map
4. Set up your map/game to run the mod.
Feel free to (meaning please) test this mod out and post pictures
Help needed!

Thanks! I don't know if it will work well or not. I have not tested yet, but if it was somehow bug free, it would create a world map with sea being flat.

[Edit] Need help with code! full info here.

Found the error in the code. I am running the mod now but it is taking long time to load (going 10 min for first chunk) but no error yet! Hope it will work. (Even if it does, it will take very fast computer to run this)

these mods do completely different things and thus have nothing in common.

Can someone help me with the mod? I can't make the image load faster then this and it takes more then 5 minuts. Also, I can't make this place a single dirt block in the map and I can't find what's wrong with it. I really need people with good lua experience to help me on this. All the work will be on github and i will let you edit it if you show me how.

are you still working on this mod? I have made something similar: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12666
