This is the correct code to create a terrain:

make object terrain 1
set terrain heightmap 1, "heightmap.bmp"
set terrain scale 1,1000,50,1000
set terrain tiling 1, 1
set terrain split 1,16
set terrain light 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0.78, 10
set terrain texture 1, 1, 2
build terrain 1

You must use as external files:
--heightmap.bmp (size must be power of 2-128x128 or 256x256 etc.)
--detail.tga (used for the detail mapping and loaded as image nr. 1)
--texture.bmp (as the texture for the terrain and loaded as image nr. 1)

And remember that after the creation a terrain is like an object, you can move it, scale it and texture it.

Hope it helped. Ciao.
