Making world maps

Engineer817

First time out of the vault
I've been working on taking the lro's elevationdata and inputting it into the landscaping part of the geck though it needs to be a raw format and also needs to be 1024X1024. is this size exclusively for the small map? I'm trying to make a large world map here. also, where is the directory to input the raw file? I can't seems to find it. my last question: is the elevation color code changeable or is it a standard? that means is the elevation colors standard for all elevation maps? that would make life a whole lot easier. if I'm not mistaken, after the elevations have been set, you need to have it create the meshes for it. some guidelines would be great for this as well. how long would it take exactly? some answers here would be great. but I'm especially wondering how the original fallout 3 team created their world map. did they do the same thing I'm trying to do or did they build it by hand? (its got to be something of the earlier because the rivers an every thing is pretty accurate in terms of characteristic but not scale) well, theres my questions. thanks
