MapTweaker Utility Beta release

[DrAlimentado]

LOL, actually you are right, insert it after 'flip selection, rotate selection' and before 'stretch/shrink maps' for a very rough guess of when it might get done.

You will be pleased to know I have already laid some of the groundwork for it in revamping the messaging system

[Skyfish]

So where are we on teh Flip/Rotate selection ? I do feel it is now priority number one : I use the app extensively and no bugs
apart from the one we talked about
Great piece o'work bro'

[Skyfish]

Still eagerly waiting the rotate flip functions
Sorry to push you but I use this app *every day* man, its great : I'm having a blast creating new maps and cant wait for the players reactions....

One IMPORTANT TIP for other users : I toggle between C3CEditor and MapTweaker because making map modifs is easier in the Editor (remember to never have startign locs when doing the editing! they should be added at the last second in C3C before the .sav is made).
But when you do that be careful to always *close* the biq in C3C and then reopen the tweaked biq. Do not just reload from the actual biq, it crashes C3CEditor but can also create problems with the map.

Hope this explanation is clear enough and maybe you can take a look why this happens DrA (after you finish the flip function)

sorry to wake up a somewhat dead thread, although like skyfish ive been using this program constantly since i found it on apolyton.

before this, my mapmaking would rely on BMP2BiC, which I suggested on another forum that its features be mimicked in maptweaker.

you can get bmp2bic here: http://www.inethighway.com/sm/bmp2bic.zip

it's a simple program. based on a multi color pallete, each pixel represents a tile, and depending on its color, what kind of terrain. this program makes map producing so much easier (its simple to convert real/fantasy maps to the color palette).

thanks again for this great program, and I'll be looking forward to the next update

Great tool. With C3C support, this is what i was needed.

Thx

[Aggie]

I hope there WILL be a new update

[anarres]

I am meeting with DrA this weekend, I will obtain the code for this then. I am happy to take over it's development.

[Aggie]

That would be great

hi

does anyone know how to export, from editor or third party soft, the map as an image. (some kind of "printscreen" function in fact but which do not limit to screen resolution but to map size - am i clear enough ?)

And for Maptweaker, bravo, it's a good app !

[anarres]

Hmm. IIRC Matrix knows how to do this, why not PM him?
