Seems good for the trees ?

[Merec]

Yea, but its a fake

The trees are real images I created by hand and rendered them as a replacement. I guess its a good way, this looks more realistic and there are only about 30 tree types I easily can draw by hand.

The only bad model are the willows, they look not really like trees

Any update on this? Would love to generate a full set of maps. Also is it possible to draw transparent PNG where bounds are? would make decorating the maps easier. (ATM I try to chroma match)

I parsed out the zoneids from the english zones.dat if anyone doesn't mind organizing them by realm

You can also ignore non-classic zones if you wish. Included in this are Kaldrheim, Kintyre, Marfach Caverns, Dodens Gruva, Hall of the Corrupt and Summoners Hall (classic) that Uthgard patched into our client.

Here's the really quick and dirty source for the zones.dat parser (sorry )

Also a "batch" create would be handy, whether it be command line or checkbox of each zone you want (mmmmm cmdline)

Just want to say that I am still on this and never stopped
I rewrote the whole model-rendering-thing three times from scratch....

Nice, continue like this, we like you

I uploaded the latest build of the MapCreator (see first post)!

There are still some things to do, but please post everything thats wrong or should be optimized.

[Merec]

Can someone please check if its running out of the box. I don't know if there is something in my GAC thats needed to run the app.

Trying now

Seems to have hung after "Parsing rivers" "Generating Lightmap"

Settings: Camelot hills
256 w/h
PNG
quality 100


*edit*:
Seems to hang on fixtures. Out of the package should I need to modify anything in here?

Have some problems :
- The water coverture bug with map less than 1024x1024
- Memory overflow when i scroll up the log box when the log is verry big, but just click continue and the program continue to works.

All other i've tested work nicely.

Personnaly i prefer "with image replacement" option like the "as shader model" option.

I found a bug with the parse on some zones, should work now.

I also:
- Added an exception catch which is shown in the log
- Removed some log messages
- Altered log messages to see whats really currently happening

Please try again with the new Versions.

I just tried a 614x614 and 256x256 map and works nicely. Great !

for me, none appears map
I tried it with a size of 614 x 614

Are there any errors in the Log-Box?
