MapCreator (in development)

[Jwilson]

"Maybe someone wants to complete the zones.xml and send it to me. It's just a lot copy & paste."

I might be able to offer some help, no guarantee, but let me know what you need done. That is if you still need help with this?

Hi! This is really interesting, i'll stay tuned

Here is a Public Gist of the current Zones.xml File

You can either fork or just download it. The struct is very simple. Then complete it and send to me zipped via PM.
The current names are german, but I want all names in english.

Thanks!

I will try to get that!

Any results?

Currently, I don't have many times so I will test that when I can

I can compile the niflib with VS2013, I just need to look the api and open some npk files...

I write a small nif reader that convert it into xml (only a few nodes) :
binaries (requires VC++ 2013 runtime*) : http://virant.fr/~dre/reader.7z
sources with niflib (VS2013 solution) : http://virant.fr/~dre/niflib.7z

You can use it with "simplereader.exe <path to a nif file> [path to xml output]", example: "simplenifreader.exe D:/daoc/frontiers/items/boat_med_f.nif boat_med_f.xml".

What to do?
- draw trees more nicely
- double step drawing of fixtures, below and above water
- configuration for rendering fixtures
- render-speed optimizations!

[Graveen]

Very interesting

Very good i see you are handling perfectly the Z coords (ie the rocks into the river) !

Kudos !

[Merec]

yea, it was not easy to handle such things. I currently have some problems with the trees and the general performance. I don't know how to render all the trees (very) fast and very good looking. They have a very large amount of vertices I need to draw.
