Even Level Terrain

I want to make a border around my map about 3 grid wide, and however tall, doesn't really matter. The Hill should then slope down to the normal level within about 3 more grid. (actual lengths/heights may vary depending on how it looks) I need a way to make it even on all sides; not only height, but width as well.
Is there some sort of menu. Like SCMD2's unit placement grid where you could specify the unit coords. Is there some way I could specify the height, slope, length, etc of terrain?

Also, second question: I've got gimp and the .dds plugin and have made some pictures. How do I import these files and use them as terrain?

Edit: hell, can anyone link me a GOOD tutorial of how to make a custom unit? I want to make a bunker that looks like an igloo.



None.

Woah

You can copy/paste terrain, so if you make one of the edges look the way you want it, you can copy it on all 4 sides.

To import files to use as terrain, I believe you have to use FaRTy's mod (I believe FaRTy made it) found at http://www.staredit.net/topic/11344/

To make a Bunker that looks like an igloo, you basically just have to find a good model of an igloo and use it to replace the Bunker actor's model.

Thanks for the first 2 answers.

I know how to replace actors and stuff, make a marine look like a command center, etc. What I don't know is how to make it myself. Since SC2 is "3D", I'm guessing it's more than a 2d mspaint picture.

Edit: Any way that galaxy editor imports .dds terrain files? Or is farty's program the only way?

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
