Nix on the Alt-Tab, you should be completely out of the game to run SH3Gen. Then restart and load the relevant savegame.

Any tips on fxing this issue?

[EDIT] I just thought to mention that I have the latest viewer from the site you have to register at.

Also, why not change the iceberg to something more generic such as ... drawing a blank here ... enviromental obstical?

Make sure you got the latest version 0.8.2 from http://www.global-explorer.de/

The terrain data should be in a file terrain.shp. Filesize is 16.4 MB. If you have the 35MB version it is the old one (terrain.gml) and that one will not show up in the viewer.

Sorry for the inconvenience. They changed something in their newer versions and it was fixed in Sh3Gen 0.8.2.

As to the other questions, they were discussed in this thread several times, so reading some pages back will bring up the answers. Or have a look at my FAQ and quickstart sections, they cover most of these questions too.

Thank you for the response GE. I am not sure what I am doing wrong on this end, so maybe you can tell me.

SH3Gen reports version 0.8.2 Tracking Room Addition (installed from Sh3Gen_v082.exe).

TatukGIS Viwer reports version 1.13.1.370 (installed from TatukGIS_VWR_1_13_1_370.exe, downloaded from there site after registering), and says no updates are available.

When generating data, the user data contains a terrain.gml file that is 35MB. This is the only file with 'terrain' in the name generated or present anywhere in SH3Gen folder. This, of course, does allow any terrain data to show in the viewer.

I imagine I must be missing something simple or obvious, but I need someone to point it out to me it seems. Please advise.

If you see terrain.gml, you still have the old version. Get the latest one from my site, as said above. With that one it will use terrain.shp. You must, of course, generate a new map to see an effect.

P.S. Might be that that I didn't update to the proper version number, so in some place there could be an older version 0.8.2 around, sorry for that. This is because there was change to the code, just a different shoreline file. You might also find 0.8.3 and 0.9.0 at some places, but these were never officially released. The one on my site is the official one.

Concerning Iceberg fix, here a repost of a solution from some pages back:

Hey tuddley

Yes. They represent dolphins. Dolphins are more of a hack in that they were ommited from the original release and they do syntactically not conform the standard. A lot of them were coded in after I finished the bulk work on Sh3Gen, and to be honest, I never got round to fixing the problem (which could only be in the form of a hack in the Sh3Gen parser), and dont think I ever will.

There is an easy way to get rid of the problem. All output text strings can be found in files and the "iceberg" string can be found in:

Sh3Gen\Database\Dictionary\English\Map.names

or

Sh3Gen\Database\Dictionary\German\Map.names

if you are using german as output language.

If you now look for the line

<Name Key="Iceberg">Icebergs</Name>

and change it to (for example)

<Name Key="Iceberg">Environmental</Name>

it should not bother you any more.

There could also be a way to supress them altogether in Parameters.ini, but I don't remember now.

And no, I don't really know if I ever repackage a dolphin / iceberg fix with the calender controlled map generator (v 0.9), atm I don't even have SHIII installed sorry sorry sorry

Hi,

This thread seems to have gone quite for a while - does anyone know what the status of SH3GEN is at the moment, specifically WRT GWX3 Gold?

[Sailor Steve]

I use the last version with GWX3 and have no problems. But I only use the basic version, so I can't speak for the advanced map stuff. I also alt-tab with no problems.

[TheDudTorpedo]

Thanks Steve.
