How does it work?

It edits the war3map.w3e file and calculates a new water height for every vertex that has water mesh disabled, if the water mesh is found to be on a higher cliff level than the ground mesh.

Other tools needed

WinMPQ - to unmpq and rempq war3map.w3e
JRE - to run Java applications

Change log

- 21.3.2018 (v2): The tool no longer causes water cliffs. It has been modified to calculate a new water height instead of setting it straight to 0.
