You only have to move the terrain into the map's folder itself.
I am going to upload a copy when I go to bed tonight (very soon), and I will pass you the link to my cloud storage tomorrow, that works, I fixed the rock texture too that was missing (in the terrains folder), and giving no texture errors.

Just food for thought:
On your map's heightmap, you have about 1200 x 1000 resolution of your entire island, on a 2048 x 2048 total heightmap (in other words, just over a quarter of the terrain is utilized). The square size is 4. This leaves you, much alike to my Roane County map, longing for some more terrain detail ability (the detail is very coarse and obvious on maps over a 2 meter square size). This game can support heightmaps of up to 4096 x 4096.
What if I said you could have the same size island with a square size of 1 or 1.1, but it would be the same exact size in-game without all the jagged edges?

Well I am going to try and do that tomorrow/this week if I get busy, and see if it'll come out right or not. Regardless, before I even mess around with changing someone else's map, I am going to upload a 'fixed' version the way it was when you uploaded/made it (without messing with the terrain other than making sure it appears).

I would be lying if I said 'this is the best map ever' - @DoullPepper , @Ouerbacker , @Occam's Razer and @Ghost187 are always trying for that credit - with even mapping skills besting mine (yes!). HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER, I can see that you put a heck of a lot of effort into this map AND IT SHOWS. So maybe, just maybe I can fix this terrain up a bit and let you be able to work with some nice friendly terrain that doesn't look so low resolution when it DOESN'T have to.

To exaggerate here a bit. Take a mouse pad and mouse for example - the mouse is your island, the pad is your terrain. The island is the teeeeeeny thing in the center of it all - with much unused terrain under the ocean floor where we can't drive on it.

So surely, as it sits on my drive, 100% working, it would be accepted into the repository, unless the moderators find something really bad I missed (they could, but I looked around a bit to be more sure).

It's a good map, I will message you privately tomorrow with the file link which you can download, preview that you're happy with it, and upload it via your user name here and submit to the mod repository.

This will take several hours for me to upload, my internet connection = poo.

--Cheers!

And I'll credit you for the support you have given me in the creation of this map, too.

Do I download Saba2 or Saba_Fixed? Fixed, right?

yeah, that one (the fixed one). I am working on another map. This map is not worthy of the mods repo, but feel free to try it!
