The Map Editor Planning Thread

[Jamie550]

Those files are outdated anyway, I almost have the shading down (I think).

.cs files are C# source files.

To save space, I might not have included the exe (don't remember) and relied on the downloader to compile it.

No. Unfortunately, that was the "easy" part.

BUt i'm sure if you keep going like this, you might get another intervention.

Perhaps I won't need one.

The first full release is imminent (i. e. within hours).

It is still slow, and may (will) contain bugs. But the created maps will be fully playable, and *should* only contain minor defects.

MapUtility v1.00 Released

The first full version (v1.00) has been released.

Please provide feedback so that I know what to improve for the next version.

The download is here: Link
and contains the applications, information, and source.

 

[IndoEsia45]

Good, downloading now.

BTW, does anyone know the font type of the HoI map writings? It's similar but not equal to New Times Roman.

MapViewer:
-has still out of memory problems while extracting the map

Fixed.

MapMaker:
-"Make the initial radish files" does work

So in root\radish, you have a bunch of .radish files?
(If you extracted the map in 72x72 blocks, there should be 65 radish files

-"Make other radish files" doesn't work

Around how long does it take to go from "Loading block headers" to "...Done"? (i.e. very fast almost instantly or at least several seconds?)

 

[ADukes]

Yes. Right, there are 65 files.

Around how long does it take to go from "Loading block headers" to "...Done"? (i.e. very fast almost instantly or at least several seconds?)

Several seconds. All 65 radish files were processed.

 

[Jamie550]

Yes. Right, there are 65 files.


Several seconds. All 65 radish files were processed.

There is a small error currently (The whole map gets treated like a border), so you have to wait until the next version to produce a playable map (though a workable map will be produced).

However, in order to hunt this problem down to be fixed, do this: First, delete the \radish, \map, and \temp folders. Then do step one again. After step one finishes, close, reopen, and do step two. Does the same error still occur?

EDIT: After testing (In relation to the border problem), no error is reported.

Yes, the same error occurs.

 

[Jamie550]

Current version: http://www.mediafire.com/?qzjj4ndmltm

Note that the images need to be reextracted, because of a small error.

ADukes: If the error still occurs after trying this, please upload the radish files containing 0_0, 0_72, 0_144, 0_216, and 0_288 (If that is too much, just upload 0_0)

The files work perfectly on my computer

After downloading the package, you copied MapMaker.exe and CoreLib.dll to wherever the images are (and are not accidentally using a older copy)?

What is your OS?

What version of .NET?

What is the path to the radish files (are they under Program Files or something)?

Is there anything strange about your computer?

Is there plenty of RAM (300mb free)?

Ensure that the first line says MapMaker v2.1.0.1

Choose option 2.
