@Mr Martian Do you have any good advice I could use right now? I found some heightmaps for Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus, linked in this post, but when I try to put them to use, I get results similar to those seen here.

No, I didn't. I'm assuming I have to export the map to the elev_mod folder for the scaling parameter to work (or something like that)?

Unfortunately, it seems I'm getting the exact same results regardless of the elevation settings.

Does anyone here know the correct elevation settings to use for Dione, Rhea, or Iapetus in the Elevation Tile Splitter? (Or any celestial body, for that matter?) Because -4000 is clearly not the correct minimum elevation to use for the former.

This is what I got for Dione:

I also need to remember to apply the gaussian blur effect to the heightmaps, because otherwise everything appears lumpy and misshapen. The question is figuring out how much blur needs to be applied to each map, and at which resolution.

Do you know where I can find said data?

I am registered, but I have this weird habit of doing everything in pairs, plus a "schedule" of sorts that I want to stick to. That being said, I could do the tiles, but first I need to know what to set the minimum or maximum altitude to in the Elevation Tile Splitter.

Do you think you could find the time to create some elevation tiles for Dione, Iapetus, and Rhea, using the heightmaps I linked in my earlier post?

So what exactly are your plans for that time?

It's working perfectly, although personally I would recommend applying the Texpack function to the tiles. On a related note, it's good to see that the staff finally did something about the whole file size cap.

That would definitely be a good idea.

On a related note, Deviantart user Oleg-Pluton has created some really good elevation maps which he's given me permission to use. The links to each are included below. Dione: https://www.deviantart.com/oleg-pluton/art/Dione-elevation-map-786936439 Iapetus...

Do I need to install PeaZip or a similar program to be able to download the heightmaps for Europa? Because every time I try to do so, the files become corrupted and unusable.

Yes, exactly. It needs to be textured in a similar manner as the Saber or Steamrunner.
