Ah yes, thanks for the trip down memory lane! I remember seeing that over a year back while still pretty active in Second Life.
Although it hasn't been updated since August of last year, it has helped answer a few of my other questions, however, on the page I am reminded that I continue to be doing something wrong, or else Second Life's servers are better calibrated, because I am reading: Remember that the water level has a default elevation of 20 meters (with a corresponding gray value of 20), and that an estate owner can change this setting in-world. And while this is my objective, the actual height I'm getting in-world is not accurate. Unless maybe by using PNG rather than importing a RAW-generated terrain that is where my trouble stems maybe?
