Wanting to try mapping again...

Post by SinbadEV »

... but mapconv doesn't work...

Code: Select all

C:\beherith_mapconv_2.4>MapConv -i -c 0 -x 175 -n -72 -o SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_test_0.smf -t SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Tex.bmp -m SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Met.bmp -a SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Ele.bmp
Mothers Mapconv version 2.4 updated by Beherith (mysterme at gmail dot com)
Loading texture
Failed to open file Hnq☺αkq☺Creating height map
and neither does SpringMapConvNG.

Code: Select all

C:\SpringMapConvNG_2>springMapconvNG -t SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Tex.bmp -o SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_test_0.smf
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CannotLoadImageException'
  what():  SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Tex.bmp

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Tex.bmp is 24bit 2048x2048
SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Ele.bmp is 24bit 257x257
SinbadEV_DF_OridRabin_Met.bmp is 24bit 257x257 (solid black)

What am I doing wrong?

That texture seems to be oddly formatted. Try converting to TGA or PNG.

Probably would help to give the command line you are running mapconv from.

My first guess for that would be, check you are not running out of memory.

Is it not about time we webified the mapconv..
Upload pictures here.. enter settings there..
Hit the delicious punch button.
Wait a eternity for upload to finnish.
Wait a eternity for map to dl.
Throw rotten tomatoes at picasso to pass the time.
It would be luvely.

In this archive, inside the Debug directory, you will find a debug build of Mapconv.exe that might work for you:
