Its`in beta stage, must do a lot of testing yet, but I couldn`t resist the temptation to tease you a little bit.

I'll report when I reach the end of the canal.

Ref

:o


...Does this mean that sometime in the near future we will enter Scapa Flow the way it was supposed to be done?

Oh my ...... This is going to be be unbelieveable. Can not wait for a release!

Ohh!!! You have just dug a channel... :rock:

Now you must tell how this can be done. ????

Ref:

Sweet!! I did some preliminary research on the Kiel Canal a few months ago but I didn't get all that far with the idea. There are some good sites that you have probably already visited :hmm: that provide the width and depth of the canal in meters, etc.
If I remember correctly, the canal was dredged after WW2 to enable larger draft ships to navigate the passage.

Here's hoping that you can pull this minor miracle off and a wave of map tweaks will follow! :up:

Pdubya

Bravo, fantastic!

Once it's done, if you need anyone to do some research and tweaking of the map - I'd volunteer.

There's countless results to be had out of this :)

That's basically my idea, I'm most of the programmer type, although I work with graphics, I have a slow machine at home, so I can´t work with big graphic files, so far more than an editor it 's a decompressor/compressor, I've done the actual editing in photoshop, once I have the program more polished,(build more failsafe checks, etc) I'll make a tutorial on how to edit, the idea is to distribute only the changes made to the map to reduce download times and then recompress the terrain data with a little program I'm finishing.

Pdubya:
The Kiel canal that I made is for testing only, sketched from a little map I found on the net, the width is approx 400 mts, I've yet to try to make it narrow, the depth is the same as in the ports 12 mts.

As I told before it havent been tested all I've just navigate the first kilometers, so far the machine is still running :up:, when I finish the tour I`ll tell you how it went.

Omg! Couple of months and we wont need the official SDK! :rotfl:

no kidding

Exellent. Should be very useful tool. Now it is left to figure out how to add the Kriegsmarine grid in areas where it is absent.

I Hope So,because those A§§holes from ubisoft won't bring out a SDK!Because WE could make the game so good that we will never buy SH4!I dont buy it anyway,pacific scenario sucks!

I want to download the editing program!Without hacking your computer i mean!(Just kidding :lol: )

You really have no idea of what you speak about.

Panama Canal anyone? :)

It has locks :hmm:

How 'bout the Suez?

The St. Lawrence Seaway and all the Great Lakes would be fun too

:rotfl:

After all, thats where they capture the 505, don't you know!

:rotfl:

If you are knowing so much about the SDK thing,then tell it!Kruzetürken! :damn:

Suez Canal at last short cut to the Indian ocean

It was under British control though, right?

So there should be bunkers along the way?

will it allow to edit habor to???
correcting brest missing ilslands and other :p
