Export/Import Heightmap from BF:Vietnam

Hello,

So I used to Mod the old Battlefield games, and many of the Battlefield Vietnam maps were just amazing. To help you remake them. I show you the simple steps how to get the Heighmap over to the SDK.

Here is what you need:
1. BF: Vietnam (or at least the Mappackage)
2. Rising Storm 2 SDK (obviously)
2. BGA (http://ift.tt/2roVk9u)
3. HMCS (http://ift.tt/2sI3Wfm)

Here is what you need to do:
1. Open BGA
2. Open the Mappackage.rfa (usually found here: Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\Archives\BfVietnam\Levels)
3. Select Heightmap.raw
4. Extract -> Selected and choose the directory (BGA will leave the package structure intact while extracting, that means you will find the file in ChosenDirectory\BfVietnam\levels\Mapname\)
5. Change the filetype to .r16 (by renaming it)
6. Open it in HMCS (here you can change the altitude so that the Heightmap has the right profile (For Cambordian Incursion i did use a difference between min/max of 5500)
7. Save the Heightmap as Unreal G16 Heightmap (*.bmp)
8. Open up The RS2-SDK
9. Go to Terrain Editing Mode
10. Check the Checkbox "Heightmap Only?" and click on import
11. Navigate to your .bmp Heightmap and click on open...
12. Profit

So guys I wish you good luck ex-/importing Heightmaps. If you have questions feel free to ask.
