I mentioned that terrain types are being built. And now they are in!
Imagine this, you have a bitmap with a grid of tiles. Like, when you download the Dune 2000 editor (Shai-Hulud 2000) , it has tilesets. These tilesets are big bmp files with 32x32 tiles in one big grid.
Now, lets say we create our own grid of tiles per terrain type. Rock, for example. In Dune 2000 you have varieties of rock graphics. So it won't look like one grid in the game (though it is).

Here is a little update. I do not have an internet connection at home, so the changes i report here will not be at the svn repository yet. I got word that i will get connected around the 24th of July. Until then you just have to wait for all the changes to be committed in the repository (if you actually check it out ofcourse)....
