converting cpt to heightmap
I'm having some trouble converting a JO cpt to a heightmap. I used ctp_cdep stripper, which created a raw file. I opened the raw at 1024x1024, count
2, interleaved, 8-bit, and was able to obtain a greyscale height image.
The problem is that the image I obtain consists of many black-through-white strips, rather than a single black-through-white colour range for the
entire terrain. For example, instead of a slope being represented by a black to white gradient, it is represented by many repeating gradients.
What am I doing wrong?

Ok, but I'm using CTP_CDEP_Stripper.exe, and as far as I can see, that doesn't have any settings to change. Is there some other stripper I should be
using?

Ah, I've figured it out. There were TWO channels in the raw, and I was only looking at the first one. The first one is some kind of polygon map, and
the 2nd channel is the heightmap.
