There is also a TerrainObjects editor.
Buildings can be deleted (delete key) and added in any way you like.
Just check out the document.

That's true, you can't edit existing objects. It's not a bug, it's a (missing) feature.

Are you referring to the map texts ?

Yes, those can be changed. See "data/terrain/LocationMaps/*.shp".
They are nothing but texts made out of triangles and exported from a well known 3d edit tool.

Shapely and ShapeViewer do not want to open these files.

Odd as the menu shown in the doc VirtualVikingX posted ( when game windowed ) doesnt appear my end so cant access the terrain ed

And yes was a stones throw from land

Ok, how the hell do you open the Terrain Editor?!

Yes, my main .cfg file in the SH5 documents folder says:

[DEVELOPING]
;Modding=Yes
;MenuEditor=Yes
;DebugScripts=Yes

It always said 'yes', I didn't have to change it, which doesn't bode well.

I have Vista Basic.

Right click on the Taskbar icon just gives me the usual Move/Close B.S!

Seriously, WTF?!

EDIT: DELETE THE F**CKING SEMICOLONS!!! Jesus Christ!!

Thank you SOBER, you're a life a saver!

To edit terrain you have to be playing the game and close to the point you wish to edit so doubt it as tied to the exe I think

Wonder if the terrain folders could be replaced with SH4 terrain stuff to mod them.

This may sound odd but Microsoft Office Word opened everything in my Terrian Folder for me. Hope that was helpful
