[Opensim-users] raw terrain file conversion

[Cider Jack]

Thanks for the suggestion Chris, so I gave Baliwick a try.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to do the trick.

When I loaded a raw file that I had saved from OS, it was just random
speckles of pixels, looked like it had been corrupted. I uploaded the
raw onto another sim, and it came through fine, so it wasn't a corrupt
raw file.

I also downloaded a raw from a different sim, and got the same result
- just a window full of randomized pixels.

I got copies of the basic raw files from the SL wiki, and those load
into Baliwick just fine, so I'm guessing SL uses a different raw
format than OS?

So anyway, Baliwick won't do what I need (nor will Terragen fwiw),
which is convert the raw (.f32) format to a bitmap such as .png so I
can edit it with GIMP. Anyone else have any other ideas how this can
be accomplished?
