			=== MapConv Parameters Explained ===

			<code>'''MapConv'''</code> - Invoking the MapConv program (MapConv.exe)



			<code>'''-i'''</code> - Inverts the heightmap (Always use -i, otherwise your heightmap will be flipped producing undesierable results)



			<code>'''-l'''</code> - Lowpass option. Lowpass applies a blurring to the heightmap to smooth out rough edges and make pathing easier. If you are using a 16bit heightmap you will probably not want to use lowpass, however, many experienced mappers still use lowpass even on 16bit heightmaps due to the fact that lowpass smoothing will, in most cases, make it easier for the pathfinder to do it's job.



			<code>'''-c # (-c 0)'''</code> - Compression level. '''Depreciated, never use any other value than 0.'''

			<br/><code>'''-x # (-x 101)'''</code> - Map maximum height. '''Depreciated. Map levels can be set in the map's parameters via LUA which is a much better method.'''

			<br/><code>'''-n # (-n 100)'''</code> - Map minimum height. '''Depreciated. Map levels can be set in the map's parameters via LUA which is a much better method.'''

			<br/>'''<code>-o <Mapname> (-o EvoRTS-Craggy_Creek-v01.smf</code>''<code>)</code> '''''- -o stands for "Output Filename". Generally this is the name of your map, but realistically it can be anything as you can change the name of the map via the Map's LUA parameters. '''Once compiled, NEVER rename the .smt file!'''

			<br/>'''<code>-t <Filename> (t terrain.png)</code> '''- Name of the Texture map file. '''Must be in the same directory as MapConv!'''



			<code>'''-a <Filename> (-a height6.png)'''</code> - Name of the Height map file. '''Must be in the same directory as MapConv!'''



			<code>'''-m <Filename> (-m metal.png)'''</code> - Name of the Metal map file. '''Must be in the same directory as MapConv!'''



			<code>'''-f <Filename> (-f feature.png)'''</code> - Name of the Feature map file. '''Must be in the same directory as MapConv!'''



			<code>'''-z <Parameters> (-z "nvdxt.exe -dxt1a -nmips 4 -Sinc -quality_highest -file")'''</code>- -z invokes nvdxt.exe which is a helper program that breaks the texture map into DDS tiles. The parameters listed tell nvdxt.exe how much to compress the tiles or how high of quality to strive for. There is never any reason to change the parameters from the example.
