Author Topic: Tile Setter V2.0 (Read 2348 times)

This totally deserves a punt.

Between the bmp importer, and this tilesetter, a trained monkey (and not even a smart one, we're talking one that graduated in the lower 25% of monkey school) can quickly build and fly terrains. I'm in awe of how simple this is all becoming.

Thanks for putting this out Machnix.

map2bmp doesn't work on my winxp(can't install it).
Is there a newer version?

Do you mean BMP2MAP?

No, that is the only version available. I don't think Ogre has been around in ages.

What happens when you try to install it?

The error wich says "system file is not suitable for running ms-dos and windows applications."

Can't help you there. It installs on my XP system without a problem.

Both are still available at http://www.ah-terrains.com in the download area.

AH Terrains will shut down May 2nd, so grab what you can now.

It's temporarily available at..

http://www.ah-terrains.com/public/Mapbmp.EXE

It's fairly large, about 2.8 meg, but that's because it's a full installshield installation file with all of the files that could be missing from someone's system.

The program automatically creates the .texsrc folder if it doesn't already exist. And writes the .bmp file to that folder already properly named for the terrain selected. It will also produce the grid for the terrrain. But for now, it won't number the grids.

Using textures isn't available yet, and I am working on a tile setter that will allow you to set the tile sub-types. The core is there, but it will take a while to complete.

A big thanks to MachNix for the core code for creating the BMP!

help lol...

if i try and double click the color (which i assume is how you change them) i get:

run-time error '429'
activeX component can't create object

any suggestions?

You using winXP? I use it and get the same message.

I cant even find the window that allows me to make the .bmp's. I only get the area where to convert .bmp's into terrain.

EDIT: Never mind, just found the correct file.

I think it's because in installation "oleout32.dll" (.ocx, .vbx. One of the two extensions) couldnt be registered. Because im running Windows 2000, and im getting the same bug.

Try double clicking on the color in the program. It should bring up a color palette.

Edit: And just in case... This was meant to produce the map.bmp file for a terrain. Not the greyscale image for elevations.

yeah, i saw what it makes and wanted to see what my terrain would look like on the clipboard

double clicking is what gives the runtime error, and the program shuts down.

any suggestions?
