The Windows-equivalent file you are looking for is UI\MiscData.txt but I'm not aware of what it may possibly be in the Mac version (hopefully the same). The changes you need to make are to this section:
Quote:
// Maximum slope in degrees, (86+ will disable slope limits)
MaxSlope=50
|
Where it says 50, replace with 85. If you go over 85 the vertices will fly off into lala land. You may also want to change the following section:
Quote:
// Global height limits
// 0 = low ground, each cliff level = 128
MaxHeight=1536
MinHeight=-128
|
By changing the max and min heights to 2048 and -2048 respectively, you will have a much greater control over the height allowances for your terrain.
