I don't have a clue how Truk could be left out of SH4 either and am happy to finally see some interest in it.... lol

I thought the airstrip and main activity was on the big Eastern Island (placenames) "Moen" - "Weno" (approx 30 km - 20 mi E of where you are however) although this harbor/base on the West side of that Island Moen was huge.

The Yamato was even there for awhile if I remember right.

Yes reefs are probably impossible to get (??) but inside those reefs it gets as deep as 200' in places... 100' in others. This terrain editor - digger woud be great to try.

I'm sorry........ but this is exciting!

As it seems to be some interest I've started to polish the extractor/repacker, I'll be uploading it in a couple of days when I catch all the bugs and a small tutorial on how to use it. (The program is quite straight forward, the import/export from photoshop is the complicated part)

Seems to be A LOT of interest:D Good stuff here.

Dublon Island was the main naval base, with primary airfields on Eten Island and Moen Island. The island above, Tol, had little more than a torpedo boat base. I don't think any of the port facilities at Truk were that extensive, but the anchorage was huge.

Thanks for these names i.e. "Dublon Island, Chuuk" (Truk). Just made my searching about 10 times easier. Sometimes it is difficult to track some of these locations down because as most of us know 'placenames' change... for example in Oregon, US, "Cock Rock" was changed to "Rooster Rock" many years ago for obvious reasons.

Here are about 13 aerial photos from the attack on Truk:

Finding a whole lot of stuff now!

Thanks, Art

Nevermind...

It looks like the current inhabitants of Truk have let the jungle overtake a lot of the Japanese installations and facilities along the water. I guess there wasn't much left of the place after we got done with it.

Wow, look at this awesomeness:

So isn't posible to work with less pixels, I mean 2 or 1. Is it? then what a shame :damn:

You can add this as a 3d object and place it like we place buildings and harbours.

It is possible, but unless what you're editing is in a perfect horizontal or vertical line it won't be possible to navigate it (The fake locks I placed in the entrance of the panama canal are 2 px wide.

Fake locks - this make me think: would it be possible to remove those and replace with the lock mods of Trainer1942?
At best it would be if he will model the Panema canal locks too, but otherwise his Kieler Kanal locks wouldn't be bad either...

Ok, here it is:

Terrain extractor/compressor and a small tutorial/manual included, check it for install instructions.

A note before I start getting a hundred posts and PMs :D, and risking to sound a bit harsh, but I know what will come after this by experience.

In the tutorial I used photoshop to edit the terrain, it's the only image editing program I use, so please don't start asking me how to do it with paint shop or other image programs, because I don't know, you'll have to figure it out between yourselves.

Any other question/bug reporting is welcome.

Nice Thank's for all the effort. :up::up:
