Terrain types of middle east
I'm looking for the images for different terrain types and where they are located for: Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Armenia, Azerbajan, Turkmenistan, Cyprus...
This is perfect image of what I'm looking for:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/atlas_mi ... q_land.jpg
Here is two example images, iraq/saudi:
http://isu2.cedare.org.eg/gis/images/irqmap1.jpg
http://isu2.cedare.org.eg/gis/images/suamap1.jpg
But those are too low res images as we can't make out the text
If you have ever wanted to help build theaters, this is one department... research. Any and all links/images/info is very welcome for terrain types or land use, what ever its called.

Re: Terrain types of middle east
Thanks to Ender Wiggin I now have pretty solid Land Use table for the ODS terrain.
I've spent this night pretty much fitting these different land use images together on top of the ODS terrain bitmap.
Here is the result
What do you guys think, how many different terrain types (tile-sets) that takes?

Re: Terrain types of middle east
For terrain types, we got
- Woodland/Forest
- Meadows and pastures (sheep and cattle)
- Arable land
- Irrigated farming
- Rough grazing/nomadic herding
- Wasteland
Lot of different tiletypes to be made. Wonder how could I lure Zaggy to help us out...

Re: Terrain types of middle east
Basically this area is pretty much done, I asked help for land use/land cover maps and you delivered
The ODS land use bitmap for CATE is just about ready and now this issue has moved past the "subject" here, meaning that now we need new tiles and that post is on another forum area. Check the terrain resource links area.

Cool. Artist SnakeMan!
just to remind you, there's a thread at Frugal forum discussing hi-res cockpit and tiles, Paul said 512x512 tiles could run short of memory, and he'll try use 256x256 tile instead. be sure to check it.

Re: Terrain types of middle east
Here are some basic terrain types we got right now - ready to go. All I need to do is to configure CATE conf file to use these.
So, where?
Where should we tile these areas in the earlier terrain types image I prepared?

Re: Terrain types of middle east
When I tiled, I always put green stuff along the wadis (dry rivers) The upper left would be good "farmland" around villages and cities, and some large rivers. Looks like water supply is good for that tile. Think needs to be more green somewhere in valleys in Iran and possibly other places. Generally speaking, where there is a lot of people , there is farmland or grasing ground near.

Re: Terrain types of middle east
I saw the maps but its kind incomplete. a farm terrian isn't always a green terrian. for instence, the terrian wich the map showed over the golan heights was formed as farm/arable prodactive land, by that meaning-green i guess by you.
its actually a balck volcano soil over there. not so many forest areas (like you european farmilier with).
its just an example.
p.s
why the hell my country is missing 3 major parts, oh well .
cheers.
