Well if your like me the first map you created had no bump maping on the ground. Kinda looked like painted glass. I found this nifty trick in the hoth.sky file.
PC()
{
//TerrainBumpDetail("hoth_bump", 1.0, 0.3);
}
Used it in our naboo map. Looks great. Hope this helps someone get more "bump" in their terrain. You could even create your own bump texture, which is what I did, in gimp.

Looks nice. But i recommend using it sparingly - lag might attack

Bump mapping is a way to make 2d textures appear 3d. So basically, the ground will look more real, more like dirt, instead of paint.

well here is a picture of the map. I diddn't do a comparsion b4 and after but u can see the terrain. Check out this thread:

notice how it looks "bumpy"? It's really not, it just has that apprance. You could really do this to any texture/terrain, from city streets to wooded forests. We have this map hosted on a dedicated so lag isn't a problem right now. But your right, those with low end systems will suffer with this option on.
