Want to build your own terrains and paint them the way YOU wanted to and not have to worry about merging/smudging/blending in the edges on the height map and color map?
I might have some info that might help if you want, but the editor is for Battlefield 1942 - there's a couple things that has to be done after making the terrain, they DO come out really good... great even, if you spend a long time on the painting part..
I will post more later - have to see if I have all the files needed and what specific files have to be downloaded from Microsoft (if any)...
Here's some sample links - Maps made by others using this program:
(note: this website is slow and may take some time for the pages or images to load)
(note 2: you can click on the images for larger views)
My map - DC Port Hope (http://www.enidesigns.com/v2/forum/mapengine.asp?mode=info&id=94)

Lastly, all maps made by map makers in Battlefield have custom terrains that come with the map - this is why most of their maps are from 14 to 35 megs each. All must have the map installed (similar to DF) in order to play it, but in DF's case, all must have the terrain installed in order to play on it - well duh.. and the map too, that generally helps...
