River on worldmap but not heightmap (CS2)

Opened this issue · 3 comments

This is a picture from my worldmap:

And here is the same area found in the heightmap:

I tried experimenting with different zoom levels and various other configuration options, especially in regards to smoothing and littoral, but I can't seem to find out why these two maps are rendering the rivers differently. The location I am generating is here:

42°27'10.7"N 75°03'47.3"W

These are my current settings:

I found this to be consistent through all areas that the highmap overlaps with the worldmap. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I tried outputting with the same settings.

heightmap

worldmap

There are two types of water bodies in Mapbox: water and water ways. The narrow part is water way, and the wide part is water. Even the same location changes depending on the zoom level.
Heightmap and WorldMap are generated from different zoom levels to save on API requests, and that might be the cause. I plan to improve this in future updates.

No worries, thanks for looking into it! It just makes actually mapping the rivers a little more difficult but not undoable. I greatly appreciate this service, it's saved me a lot of time and has been super helpful.
