Thank you for a reply. I am not interested in the incomplete Truk effort, what i was seeking is the Kiel mod....

is that what you call "GWX SH4TerrainEX.exe"? thank you for any info on that.

After much digging I found it. I installed it back then - for my Gato on a World Tour.....

Can you get the mod is the question? Using search terms if the link doesn't work maybe.

Ref deserves a whole lot of credit. I can't upload it because I have no right to do so.

Happy Hunting!

Edit - THIS IS the topic. All that searching for this! When I downloaded it, it had Refs European canals.

If you have FOTRS, replace the "terrain" file of this mod in your installation of SH4. This adds the canals, and work fine (I use that in my SH4 plus TMO 2 plus RSRDC).

Blatant necro.

Considering this post, I have to ask if there's any working D/L links anywhere? I'd really prefer not to D/L someone else's work, just to use someone else's work. :doh:

Blatant necro - lol
 
Last Fri my computer died but the HD's still have data. I bought a new computer and copied the contents of the old HD's to the new computer.

Looking on one of those drive folders I found this:
Terrain_SH4.

Terrain_SH4.... Inside that is the Data folder (listed below) and the small map used for editing: 4320_2160 - it is a jpg file, then GWX SH4TerrainEX - the program, and GWX Terrain Extracter PDF document describing the procedure.

Data folder, inside that is:
Terrain folder, inside that are:

Data and Pal folders.
In Data are these folders with a same-nammed file with the extensions listed.
In Pal are 5 files: Color.dds, dirt.tga, gradient.tga, gradient3.tga, and Terrain.act all dated 10/2006

In Data:
E007N055 4/20/2008 E007N055.ZHF
E009N054 ZHF
E009N055 ZHF
E010N055 ZHF
E032N030 ZHF
E032N031 ZHF
E032N032 ZHF
E152N007 4/23/2008 E152N007.RAW
E152N008 RAW
E152N009 RAW
W003N059 ZHF
W080N009 ZHF
W080N010 ZHF
W158N022 ZHF
W178N029 ZHF

TerrainData.BFD 9/17/2006
TerrainData.BFI 9/17/2006

OK, so that's one of 1000's of folders, zips & rar's I have saved from my old computer.

I haven't installed SH4 yet, barely have email working, and I need to learn a whole new OS.

If this looks like what you're looking for...... well, let's find that out first.

Happy Hunting! <--- (has a whole new meaning :)

Don't worry about it. I already found the files i needed.

Madox58 02-28-11 05:54 PM

Ducimus,

Do you have Ref's original release of the Keil and such?
I have the editor and files but not the other stuff.

The mod only adds the terrain changes, harbours cities and other scenery must be added appart.
Also harbours of colon and balboa (panama canal) are slightly misplaced, as I don't know if any PTO modder has modified the location file,
I decided not to move them, easy change though. (see pic.)

Enable with JSGME.

Mediafire : http://www.mediafire.com/?2y49n9vxrwi
Rapidshare : http://rapidshare.com/files/10888623...n_mod.rar.html


For those interested here's the Terrain extractor/compressor and a small tutorial/manual included, check it for install instructions.

http://dodownload.filefront.com/1006...dc825acfb93dd3

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.

Where are these files now, they are not on MediaFire or RapidShare? Where can I find them? What a great idea, particularly for the Panama Canal!!!

Thanks, Fred. Is this mod compatible with Operation Monsun mod?

Best regards.
