Next trick: Locations.cfg, renumbering.

If you add new things, you just go in the end of the file and add next [Location xxx].
But let's say, that you want to delete something in the middle of the file. Then you need to renumber all [Location xxx] below. And they may be a hundreds.
Well, someone with programming skills may do some script for that, but I don't have such skills. I have to use what is in my hands.
So, here is how I renumber, quick and easy, Locations.cfg with the help of Notepad and menu_1024_768.ini Renumbering Tool by h.sie
Such way, you may renumber also a: Dials.cfg or Commands_en.cfg

 

And I added a video about TerrainTypes.raw in the first post.

There are so many different types zones ...

I've found Helgoland, it's the white pixel.

Else, there is a problem : I've found 37 different shades of gray, instead of 33.

IDX that are not in Terrain.cfg :

red : IDX 34
green : IDX 9
blue : IDX 18
pink : IDX 0

How the zones are simplified in Terrain.cfg

With resolution 2160x1080, one pixel is 20km.

Many of these different types you will never see from your boat.
I think, that I will make my TerrainTypes.raw with no more than 12.
Just because I want to split them into northern and southern hemisphere, otherwise 8 are enough. With a variety of seasons textures, all will look very good.

Yes, it's a very good idea. I though myself about that some time ago. Because while it's winter in northern hemisphere, it's summer in southern hemisphere. That's why we buy exotic fruits during winter !
