TerrainHeightmapFormat

Remarks

A raw file says nothing about itself, which is why every tool that reads one asks for these three. Unreal's raw import has the same form and the same reason. Getting the endianness wrong produces a terrain that looks like static rather than like terrain, which at least fails loudly; getting the width wrong shears it diagonally, which does not.
