ok i test my terrains by droping the files in the bhd directory "where the maps go"
but you need to make sure you right click on your bhd short cut on your desk top click properties and copy and paste this in the top box
"C:\Program Files\NovaLogic\Delta Force Black Hawk Down\dfbhd.exe" /d
then hit apply, then open your med and select your terrain from your terrains list
if that dont work give me a shout i will try and help u out

basically i took the trn file from dvd2 and changed the color map and polydata to my own files. here it is
terrain_name ""
terrain_creator "Timber3050"
;terrain values
water_height 0 ;default, if zero will take from mission
polytrn_colormap village town.tga
polytrn_detailmap det_grav.tga
polytrn_depthmap dvd2_d.raw
polytrn_polydata Valley town.cpt
polytrn_tilestrip trntile1.tga
polytrn_charmap dvd2_m.pcx
polytrn_foliagemap dvd2_f.pcx
polytrn_detaildensity 128
polytrn_sectorcount 8 ; width of sectors
polytrn_wrapx 1 ; do we wrap on X?
polytrn_wrapy 1 ; do we wrap on Y?
polytrn_origin -4 -4 ; move terrain origin by this amount (X,Y)
polytrn_sectors 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 ; width here must match above
polytrn_sectors 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4
polytrn_sectors 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
polytrn_sectors 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4
polytrn_sectors 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
polytrn_sectors 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4
polytrn_sectors 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
polytrn_sectors 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4
foliage
graphic mveg1am.3di ; the 3DI to place on the terrain - must be <=20 verts
color_lower 0 ; 0=match ground 1=50% blend 2=retain full color
color_upper 0 ; 0=match ground 1=50% blend 2=retain full color
match 254 ; match with up to four different colors in the foliagemap
end
foliage
graphic mbush01.3di ; the 3DI to place on the terrain - must be <=20 verts
color_lower 0 ; 0=match ground 1=50% blend 2=retain full color
color_upper 0 ; 0=match ground 1=50% blend 2=retain full color
match 252 ; match with up to four different colors in the foliagemap
end
Now i know nothing about terrain making, so i wouldn't be surprized if the problem is in the trn

ok i think i spoted the problem where it says
polytrn_colormap village town.tga
and
polytrn_polydata Valley town.cpt
you want to put a underscore between village town. tga and village town.cpt like this village _ town. tga and village _town.cpt
or you can just make it one word with no space in between the words village and town like villagetown.cpt make sure you change that in the .trn file
and the real .tga and .cpt files your useing for your terrain

ok, thx for being patient with me. you've been a great help so far. but i still have 2 more problems. 1, i got the map loaded in the med editor, but
in 3d wireframe it shows as flat. 2, I thought if i tried it in the game it would show right, but it just gives me sysdumps.

ok not sure what the problem is with out the files, but maybe its the cpt conversion,i assume your useing fwo ravens cpt tool to convert to a cpt.
this might help not sure when i convert my terrains i usauly use a 20% conversion rate 100 is way to high and will cause problems like that.try to
convert useing 20% if it dont work i dont mind looking at your bmp greyscale pic and the tga color pic and the .trn file you will have to send them to
me i will look at them and try converting and runing on my end to figure out the problem u can send it email if you want cause i hardly ever use aim
