Greetings,
My world is supposed ot be an island, and I want to use terrain for it.
I also want terrain as the ocean floor, spreading for a long way out past
the island's shore before it pops back up to the default 0 altitude (that
looks bad for an island that's supposed to be in the middle of nowhere). My
world is a P-40 and the island will use all that. Now I'm a bit picky about
wanting 0 altitude to be sea level, meaning the ocean floor would be below
that, about fifty meters at it's deepest. Does anyone know of a bot and how
to make that bot lower all my terain out to about maybe 150 cells from
ground zero, or would be willing to make such a bot for me? The texture
would be the default 0 and the default orientation; just the elevation needs
to be adjusted.

Dem2RWX can do it with a fully black bmp picture.

Yes, I've been fiddling with DEM2RWX. I downloaded Terragen too, so I
could have a bumpy ocean floor. I'm still trying to figure out how to get
the two to work reasonably together. I end up with a waaaayyyy too wildly
bumpy surface that has too much elevation difference between high and low,
in AW, no matter how much I flatten it out in Terragen. All seems to be
above 0 altitude too, even if it's all under 0 in Terragen. ("Level with
ground" is off.)
Also, I can only build out to 100nsew. Is there a way I can grab a
larger piece of the terrain model? There's plenty of it left over outside
the selected part.

Sorry for all my beginner's questions and troubles.
Percipient

After you built with terragen you have to change the Vertical Scaling to your taste and use the Vertical Offset to move it under ground.
To make it bigger - just select a larger world (P200) or change the bound rectangle values. Terrain can extend way beyond your world's limit!

HTH,

I got it well enough for now, thanks. I scaled the terrain down in
Terragen so much it was almost flat there, then I used a Xelagot to lower it
all to where I wanted, and the wall back up to 0 is at 192 cells out on all
sides.
I'll redo the ocean floor later, when I have more time. Right now I just
wanted it something half decent. I'm on a schedule here; I need the world
functional for my VR marriage in a little over a month.
Thanks for your help, Andras. Great program you have; I just gotta
figure out how to work it all. :)

I'm glad you like it. I apologize I did not mention XelaGot but I am not familiar with it. I know XelaG's bots are extremely powerful!
