     Well, constructing the landscape is much simpler if the client knows
all the tiles at the beginning : it needs all the neighbors info when it
connects and smooths heightfiels between tiles. 

        I've tryed to do it the same way the gtk client handle his map drawing,
but my code was getting really messy. So I restart from scratch and choose
to load the map at the beginning and to investigate this point later.
