Obtaining Elevation Data

[Brad]

Hello forum,

I am looking for support of obtaining 'Elevation Data' from anyone who may know a easy working method.

In the past, there has been various methods which are no longer available. I know Heaven Games also has some 'Elevation' downloads but limited. I was once able to make a custom British Isles scenario with 3 human players.

I am unsure of the process but one website I discovered was from ncei.noaa.gov. I selected an area of the world, with 'ETOPO_2022 (Bedrock; 15 arcseconds)' and was given a 'exportImage.tiff' file. I was unsure what I could do from here. This seems like a method which won't work.

My thought was if you create scenarios of a geographical location and setting, with the available players in place, then the human players can create their own epic battle history. Such a 'WW1 Europe' scenario or a 'Israel & Middle East' scenario.

I saw the second site - www.diva-gis.org/gdata. This was selecting a country rather than manually selecting a specific area. With this - srtm.csi.cgiar.org/srtmdata - I cannot see the areas to select.

If there are any other sources, that may be ideal.

Just in case ANYONE is looking for some 'Elevation Data' for single player scenarios, or maybe multiplayer scenarios, I have some links to share. If it's allowed on the forum.

Elevation Data: UK Elevation Data (bradley877), Europe & Scandinavia (Sundae), N. America (brutalwar12), Indonesia (brutalwar12)

Multiplayer scenarios: You MUST have a multiplayer saved game file of all the existing players first, and then edit that save game in the editor.

Single player scenarios: You can jump straight into the editor and assign the computer players in there. This method WON'T work for multiplayer players.

Requests: I'm trying to obtain 'Elevation Data' of Israel & Middle East for a fun custom multiplayer scenario. There would be Israel, parts of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Balancing would make Israel as the strongest player, but the Arab countries will be teamed together. Israel's objective is to destroy the neighbour's key military installations. The Arab's objectives is to capture some key locations within Israeli territory.
