You just made my day, or my week... month?? - anyway, Thank You! I've waited a year for this ;-)

Truk Lagoon was the largest Japanese base in the South Pacific and it really needs improvement in SH4. It should have higher reefs surrounding it and it needs to be deeper in some places.

In stock SH4 ver 1.5 Truk is at approx 7N, 152E:

I wonder how hard Truk Lagoon would be to fix with your tool?

Well, of course the entire world lacks reefs in SH4, but I think the max terrain resolution kills any chance of handling them with the terrain engine. Perhaps they could be added as objects somehow, but I can only imagine the problems that might entail.
