Dear Lukerduker123,

Sounds like a good plan. It would be good to have the contour mapping up and running again. Keep us posted on your success.

Best Regards,

Monty

Dear Lukerduker123,

Good morning.

Any news?

If not, then anyone else reading this know someone who could potentially be of some use in fixing the height map tool? Anyone have the expertise to craft a new one?

Best Regards,

RecruitMonty

I used Claude AI to remaster the stuff on the GitHub into something that might work.

It's very crude right now but I think we have possibilities; since you can now scroll around the map and use RIGHT CLICK to set a notepoint which will be used in generation of the SPMAP999.txt file:
