# Load Height Map

Load Height Map is used to open a file of a custom-made terrain (to use for a new game) & can be used to delete these files.

Load Height Map opens from Create a New Game; & list names, date & time (of save) of available custom-terrains.
If all files are not visible: use slider-bar on the right side of list, to scroll through the names.

Click on name in list to use a custom-terrain; or enter name into box at top of window: click on box, type name, & press [Enter] or [Return] or click onOK(an incorrect name will have no effect, try again).

WARNING: Click x-button by left of name to DELETE file immediately & permanently, the filename is removed from list and Load Height Map closes. Use this function carefully.

Some custom-made terrains are available online at http://maps.simutrans.com.
The new file must be in .ppm or .bmp format (best 256 colors RLE compressed) and placed in the personal directory (or folder) named simutrans/maps/
