Harbour Charts
I'm in the process of making a number of harbour charts based on the NavBuoy User Charts. Here are two examples:
I'd like to scan the Sh5 files for info like water depths, land and sea objects, etc, because physically going to the locations and mapping everything is very time comsuming. Does anyone know what the proper files are that would give this info? And any other help would be greatly appreciated.

[REL] SH5 Map viewer/gradient editor
This app lets you adjust the colour of the map gradients. This could reduce the number of depth readings that you would need to add |

For viewing buoys, etc. on map, you need to run Mission Editor, open a campaign project, and select the appropriate mis layer. IIRC buoys are on a separate layer, identical for all the campaigns, but Trevally can give you more details on this topic. |

Just an update.
I've done 23 charts so far, not as detailed as I'd like but info is sometimes impossible or just hard to come by. Also too much info is not always good. I got hung up on Stavanger when I noticed the buoys were pointing to a dead end and thought it might be nice to change that. But it's proving to be a little more complicated working with the editor. Also was hoping to add lighthouses to certain areas but I don't have the skill for that, the existing ones I believe are about 83 meters and can be used for DR in navigation or even distance determination with this formula: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=4335 Anway, more work to go.

Just working on the British Isles at the moment. Will probably package the files according to region so folks using other charts won't lose any past the 50 limit.

I believe the limitation is 50 dds files altogether in the game .
Seems to me that a lot of dds pictures could be made into one dds file . |

or we can remove some recognition .dds from the charts
