Can someone please convert this island for me?

Post by docrptr » 2005-12-24 09:33:52

I have read sooooo many posts on what to do to get my .dem file into WRPTool. I did it once before, but I got it in the wrong scale (one building took up half the island of Oahu, Hawaii) and only God himself knows how I didn't. And atm, he can't be bothered to answer my questions on this matter.

Anyways, the island is of Parris Island, South Carolina, USA where civilians go to become US Marines at a place called MCRD Parris Island. (kinda besides the point, but eh).

I have honestly given this my best effort, so don't think I'm just being lazy. I just can't figure this d**n thing out. Please help!!

I had a look at your DEM.

Unfortunately I can't resample it to 50m resolution because the DEM isn't big enough.

In other words the area covered by your DEM is not quite 12.8 X 12.8 km.

I'll see if I can rustle up a replacement for you.

Thx so much Planck. I have just about gone bald trying to get this thing into WRPTool. There's no smiley that i see that can represent my appreciation, and my squads for that matter. Cheers.

OK, I have a new DEM.

I have converted it to a .wrp file.

Of course I use WrpEdit, so it is an OPRW format .wrp file, I think this will load into WrpTool ok.

You do realise that the highest point in your chosen terrain is only 12 - 14 metres and OFP has tides that go to 5 - 6 metres.
You might have to raise the whole terrain a little to compensate.

Give me an email where I can send your .wrp to anyway.

My email is txemtp2004@hotmail.com

And yes, I realize the height issue. But it's ok. Parris Island is pretty much all swamp land filled with mosquitos and the such. But again, thanks for the work.

I'm going to keep trying to learn how to do the conversion so that I can help someone some day.
