DEM data
-
Joe Labrada has supplied the entire DEM data for the earth already that works with Dem2Terrain!!
The data that is needed is E00 data!

I meant the tools needed to open those files. I did find the old dem2terain but it doesnt do anything
-
i think there is DEM2terrain for openining HDR (highmap file) to reproject it into sinusoidal WGS84 projection and crop theater frame. When theater defined, you can project EOO feature data (roads, water data, border data, objectives with names and airbases with names). You can then export F4 native data as highmap (L2 O2 …), together with EOO (as tdf) -> readable by terrainview (newly terraineditor).

Thank you c9…
So e00 data it is for searching then.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T818A using Tapatalk

I was looking into converting OSM (OpenStreetMap) data to E00 data. There’s a software called FME Desktop from safe.com that will read shape data from OSM and write that out as E00.
So far, I can’t make dem2terrain to read the E00 data from FME unfortunately.
The E00 looks fine, as far as I can tell, when I compare it to E00 files from the Joe Labrada-e00_russia_china collection, so I’m not sure why it wont parse it (unrecognised type of e00, is the error message).I wonder if dem2terrain can to be updated? Is the developer still active or is the source code available?
It seems like it would be worth spending some time getting the tools working with readily available data out there.
I’m keen to help out where I can (in the capacity as software developer and technical writer).Any thoughts or hints please?
Cheers

Nope, can’t be updated and developer not active and no source code!!

Just out of curiosity, what is the resolution of that data?

ok, thanks for that clear answer.
Sounds like a great project to take on.
cheers -
Resolution……Stock as C9 stated
You can change it……if you KNOW how and WHY you are doing it…
The HOW is pretty much self explanatory in the pic’s, the WHY is a little more complicated. Remember and be careful “The Falcon World is FLAT”……lol!
Not really, it is sinusoidal…(or is that suicidal???)…but still flat….chuckle.As far as the .E00 file’s we have RULE’s that can be changed if you want…this pic is for the Software Dev.
I do not know if D2T will import the specified file format, not going to go there as I develop Terrain’s with a totally different approach. BUT I think it should, in worst case you may have to convert your .OSM.EOO.SHP….etc. file to a pattern file (.pat) or possibly just rename them. As well, the tool may have other dependency’s that I am not aware of.
Cheers,

I tackled that a few months ago (and gave up because TacEdit and my computers wouldn’t play nice together).
Now I don’t remember the whole workflow, but I’ll poke around my stuff and see if I can trace it back tomorrow.
If my memory serves me right, it involved going from .adf to .e00 using the converter arty linked above (e00 import export tool) and I believe a very minor file editing afterwards.
Still got the whole database of .adf (which I believe cover the whole world), can link it if anyone’s interested.

here are rivers roads railroads cities coastline
the thing is to convert to readable e00 format.
maybe the tools above could help.Finally… thanks Arty,will try to work on these from next week.Lets hope it works

Yeah I am interested in South Asia Region i.e Pakistan and India

Alright .ADF database : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1V6ekXSNHG9l_rile0814ND0YTKAdGhwf
Now my workflow was as such.
First you’ll need the above database (export where you want)
Secondly, the importer/exporter (http://avce00.maptools.org/dl/avce00-2.0.0-win32.zip)
- Take it and extract the content anywhere you want;
- Also, create the folder where you will export the .E00 or you will get an error -> “Cannot create [insert export path]: No such file or directory”;
Now, you’ll open a command-prompt.
- type “cd [path to the folder where you exported the importer/exporter]”, in exemple “cd c:\users\esper\desktop\exporter”;
- now you are ready to export, type “avcexport [path to .adf file’s folder you need] [path to exported folder]”, exemple “avcexport h:\adf_db\india\rdline h:\e00\india\rdline.e00”;
- repeat for dnnet/ponet/pppoly/aepoint/pppoint/rrline OR whatever you need;
Last step before import, you need to do a small edit of the exported file, otherwise Dem2Terrain will refuse the file.
- Open the exported file in a text editor;
- The very first line should look something like this : “EXP 0 H:\ADF_DB\INDIA\RDLINE.E00”
- Change it to this : “EXP 0 H:/ADF_DB/INDIA/RDLINE.E00”
- The only difference is the reversing of the “slash”.
That’s how I went about the whole thing. Hope it is helpful.

The whole world in our hands and working with Dem2Terrain?
wow… Santa of the century just came to town???
Now u know me… I like to stretch things to death.
Does it contain and buildings like lots for example? Or you could provide such for the whole world or where you found the data after all? -

Thanks,I’ll try it.

Not sure what you mean?

I can try to retrace where I found it, no promises tho, if i remember it was buried quite deep into the internet.
Edit : Found the original source (https://psu.app.box.com/v/dcw/file/55755582550), still comes as one big compressed folder, much the same as what I uploaded on google drive.

You sure this is correct?? It’s not working for me.
Maybe a clarification?
