Hey, need help again.

Ok I have my new map working in MTW2. Im having some issues currently. The coast is really weird.

See Below:

How do I fix this. I would assume its in the heights and roughness files but im not sure what I am looking for. I am a bit of an amatuer when it comes to mapping.

Thanx

You probably have screwed the height map to some extent. Make sure there are no black (0, 0, 0) pixels and make sure that your coast line is as smooth as possible.

Ok the coasts are smooth and all 0,0,0 were replaced by 2,2,2 but still I have a jagged coastline. Could it be the roughness or groundtype?

Below is the heights:

Coasts can't be smooth, it needs to be pixellated, so one dark pixel, then a blue one, no inbetween colours.

Sorry to post a 3rd time but I seem to have fixed it for now, was a problem of some kind of error with the roughness file, not sure to be honest but a bit of messing around with it seems to have done the trick some how. thanks again for the quick support. i shall defo be hanging around here more often.
