<p>Ah yes, thanks for the trip down memory lane! I remember seeing that over a year back while still pretty active in Second Life.</p>
<p>Although it hasn't been updated since August of last year, it has helped answer a few of my other questions, however, on the page I am reminded that I continue to be doing something wrong, or else Second Life's servers are better calibrated, because I am reading:</p>
<p><span>Remember that the water level has a default elevation of 20 meters (with a corresponding gray value of 20), and that an estate owner can change this setting in-world.</span></p>
<p><span></span>And while this is my objective, the actual height I'm getting in-world is not accurate. Unless maybe by using PNG rather than importing a RAW-generated terrain that is where my trouble stems maybe?</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>Hi everyone! Google and OpenSimulator.org haven't provided me a really clear direct answer to this question (yet)...</p>
<p>I am attempting to create a very crisp heightmap for a tech-based region I'm planning where certain areas must be at precise elevations. I'm trying to choose precise grayscale colors that result in precise elevations.</p>
<p>I'm having a hard time determining what settings to choose.</p>
<p>I'm using GiMP and have made multiple attempts this morning creating an image 256X256, grayscale, set to total black and saved as a PNG with zero compression. But when loading in the console ("terrain load 0.png" for example) while it loads "successfully" what I wind up with is a flat terrain that is approximately 12.25 meters in elevation. Not the 0 meters I expected.</p>
<p>Doing the same as above, but setting the grayscale to 20 on a new image, I expected it to load at sealevel. Instead it loaded at about 25.75 meters elevation.</p>
<p>I would sincerely appreciate a clear options setting for elevation if this is actually supported with precision in OpenSim 0.7.3.1... Thanks!</p>
