Latest mapconv, download here.

[FaerieWithBoots]

mmm, i assumed that would just rotate the feature clockwise by one unit. This makes things a lot easier. Had just started to make my own feature rotator XD

I tried yours now, and it crashes at:

Code: Select all

I made some tests, and seems like it has some problems with the edges of the featuremap image. when i remove the geos from edges, it works.

Made some speed tests:

old mapconv:
28x10 map: 294.35 seconds.

Latest mapconv:
28x10 map: 346.18 seconds.

Ran with same files/settings.
Old mapconv i used: http://mapinfo.adune.nl/Mapconv%20no%20 ... %20hack.7z

[Beherith]

Yep, but old mapconv had crappy quality. New mapconv has much higher quality by default.
Try using new mapconv with -q option (quick). Only works if you have nvidia 8x00 or better.

new link as springfiles is down: http://spring-portal.com/index.php/docm ... th-edition

[Beherith]

Thanks for that, hope springfiles will be back up soon though.

Updated to 2.4, minor bugfixes.

Using 2.4 I got a totally black minimap, while earlier version worked fine with the same base files. Used the mapconvGUI.exe with both if that matters.

@Beherith:

where is the source code? can you make a pull request to the official source of mapconv? ( https://github.com/spring/MapConv )

[Beherith]

Ill be on vacation in the next few days, but after that i'll upload my changes to the github repo.

My git skills have not become better. Can I do the following:
checkout source
copy over all my source dir
???
Commit? merge? what do i do here?

I might need commit access to this, my account on github is called Beherith

If you checkout the latest source you copy your stuff in and commit.

You don't need rights for a pull request. You push to your github repository and they will pull from there.

Havent found anyone having the same problem so I write:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\PtaQ\Desktop\Mapping\mapconv>mapconv -f featuremap.bmp -c 0.2 -x 130 -n
 -63 -o CrimsonHill_1.smf -e Crimson_Hillv0 -g geovent.bmp -m metalmap.bmp -a hi
ghtmap.bmp -t texturetest.bmp

Using these parameters, with all required components I get this:

Code: Select all

cant find: C:\Users\PtaQ\Desktop\Mapping\mapconv\temp*.dds

same with temp*.tga

And then window appears telling that mapconv.exe stopped working. It results in absense of .SMD file in the mapconv directory giving no way to finish my work.

What should I do in this case?

[Beherith]

What is in -e Crimson_Hillv0?

[PtaQ]

ugh, I missread it, thought its supposed to be the map tilte ;p
All fine now, thanks
