I'm learning how the terrain data is stored. Is my understanding correct that the X and Z coordinates of the vertices are fixed, and the Y value (height) for each vertex comes from an array of float values?

Z is vertical height

positive X-axis points north
positive Y-axis points west
Z is vertical height with 0 being sea level
origin of the coordinate system is in the center of the map which is 0,0,0

That makes sense.

So the X and Y are fixed positions, and the Z value is relative to the index value in the heightmap array, correct?

So converting the heightmap array to a bitmap should be an accurate conversion, correct?

im sure it was already done

iv seen someonedoing research on porting images with heatmap that indicated height being converted to ADT

I've seen exporters as well, but I was curious about how accurate they really were.

to some extend it should beenough accurate to point where you dont need to care
