SH3Gen Maps

BigWalleye · 03-07-14, 08:32 AM

Just discovered SH3Gen. (How did I miss it for so long?) Easy to add and working fine. It looks to add a lot of detail and atmosphere. (Apologies to Arletty!)

One problem I have: When I try to open the Map Room charts using the Tatuk GIS Viewer, I get all the layers of data, but no terrain. Does anyone here know what I might have missed. I followed the instructions carefully (several times) and everything else is there. Anybody help?

What is SH3Gen? Never heard of it.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think I had to run Tatuk GIS under XP compatibility mode. SH3 Gen is pretty old.

I have the same issue with SH3Gen too: no terrain detail on the GIS map. I think there might be a terrain.exe file from Global Explorer that updates the terrain files for use with TatukGIS, but it's not available anymore from Global Explorer's website.

First post below mentions a terrain.exe file to download to fix this:

Yup! That seems to be the problem. Now does anybody have a working terrain.gml that they would be willing to share? I'd sure be grateful.
