Where is the .TER file stored?

blue banana · Post by **blue banana** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:40 pm

I am trying to find the raw heightmaps from BZ2 (I believe it is the .ter file), but sadly I cannot find any of them. Could someone tell me where they are?

For Stock maps, they are in the .pak files, for custom maps, usually along with the rest of the files.

usually somewhere in the missions directories... (be it in the .pak, addon, or whatever)

It is more than just the heightfields btw. The data includes the height, textures (per cluster/layer), and RGB/RGBA (per vertex/layer), as well as some generated data such as a type indicator for flat, slope, lava, etc.

If you just want it for BZ2, fine, but if you want the data for something else I will probably have to help you read the format.

Unless you just plan to stuff it into the existing copies of Winter that are floating about.

He probably just wants to use winter to get the heightmap to convert bz2 maps to bz1

How do you unpack .pak files?

Where are Greenhearts maps' .ter files, more specifically the Fortress map?

General BlackDragon · Post by **General BlackDragon** » Sun Jan 05, 2014 2:46 am

in the pak files, under missions/multiplayer/

those should be in the missions/multiplayer/3rdparty/greenheart/ folder in the pak file?

No, those files arent there. I have checked every folder and I actually havent seen any .ter files for any map. Right now I am just looking in the .pak files.

You probably have more than 1 install of bz2...Make sure you are looking at the right patch13.pak, they change.
Got both .ter and .trn in the patch13.pak/addon/missions/multiplayer/3rdparty/greenheart map pack/mpifort
For Bz2_V1_3_6_4

Ah, I found them.

And yes, I am trying to convert BZ2 maps to a BZ1 map. If converting the .ter file into a heightmap file for BZ1 is along the right lines (by Winter, perhaps), I would like it if someone can tell me how to do this.

yes u use winter to export the heightmap then use bmptohgt

Looks like I am missing a .dll file MSVCR71. That sucks.

Are there alternatives, or would it be better to do this on another computer?

Search for it on your system, you'll likelly have it .. like 12 or more times.
It comes with office, countless (steam) games, etc. You may just need to copy it to Winters folder.
