Included with the original release of Magic Carpet, but oddly left out of Magic Carpet Plus, was this cool utility that allowed one to make their own multiplayer maps from image files (with certain restrictions of course). So, here it is for those interested in having their own terrain in Magic Carpet :
http://www.ag.ru/games/magic-carpet/patches/6915
or
http://new.patches-scrolls.com/patch/2564/27381/46355/download
The instructions (from http://www.ag.ru/games/magic-carpet/cheats/4703) are as followed :
"USING MAPHACK
With MapHack, any PBM file (that is, a compressed LBM file) on
your system can be used as the basis for the landscape of one
of Magic Carpet's levels. Any 256-color PBM file will do; it
is automatically re-sized to 256 x 256 pixels.
To use MapHack:
From the Carpet CD type MAPHACK, followed by the PBM file name
and press Enter (remember to specify the path).
Example: MAPHACK C:\CARPET.CD\EXAMPLE.LBM
When you run Magic Carpet, this picture is used as the first
level map.
To re-set Magic Carpet to the original settings:
Log to your hard drive (C:) and type del
C:\CARPET.CD\SAVE\SCANNED\RMD and press enter. The game map
returns to normal with the LBM file removed."
