Many thanks DRG, entering in manual and imagination mode lol

So I have been trying to use the map contour tool to capture a port city in China, maybe that is why its not working?

Keep getting:

Something went wrong, return value 25. Process returned:

Error: INVALID_REQUEST at contour.pl line 305.

No matter where in the area I try.

Trying this url essentially:

http://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php?...78590747&rot=0

(Chongjin, Korea I)

Or:

http://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php?...78590747&rot=0

Chongjin, Korea II

Level 10 in both cases, but it always generators the error thingy.

Thoughts?

Chinese are blocking this app?

Try

Thanks! That worked like a charm!

Got to figure out why some of my maps won't generate.

[DRG]

We have added the ability to flood fill areas of the map that show up from Venhola as zero elevation and it will be included with the next patch for CD owners

[DRG]

That map you included is useless for that function as too much of the area has been set to zero elevation so it will need to be regenerated with Venhola with the elevations adjusted so your water is zero and the shorelines show up more than that otherwise you get what you show but mostly blue with a little pimple of land

.....but it only works when there is a defined shortline.... if most of the land near the water is barely above water level Venhola cannot differentiate land from water and we have no magic wand to make it do that so there WILL be cases this flood fill cannot work. There have to be contour lines above water level for it to do what you want

[DRG]

This was my 5th try and the contours were set to 2.... the land is just too flat

[DRG]

This is a start you can take it from there..... in cases like this you may need to generate a number of maps with progressively lower contour numbers to get the result you want. This used 2 IIRC which gave the river but perhaps made the land too bumpy

[DRG]

here's a section of Norwegian Coastline using Vehola and the new flood fill water feature. Try to imagine how long that would take by hand just to get to that point.....

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Something I'll never use, I just don't do this kind of thing since my focus is elsewhere. That being said to see the development to the final process I can most certainly appreciate the effort and time many of you will (Have.) put into the use of this new feature.

The end product looks AWESOME!!
