-- different effects:
-- - The exact string "add": Noise values are added to each heightmap pixel.
-- - The exact string "multiply": Each heightmap pixel is multiplied by the corresponding noise value.
-- - A string in the form of digits followed, then the noise will is remapped from the range 0 - 1 to the range -1 - +1 and multiplied by this number / 2, and then for each pixel in the heightmap the corresponding noise value will be added to it.
