Heroes 4 Advanced Options Map Editor

[Karmakeld]

Hehe, that was the list I suggested might could save you some time, but you're doing tremendous progress. Keep it up.

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Haha yeah that would have saved me about 10 minutes

I've successfully read in and written out all quest huts (including the broken wagon hut for WoW version).

I'm probably going to have to have the user select the version of map they're opening since the wagon hut is fixed in Equilibris, but I read it in as if it's broken, which will cause problems.

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

I can now read in everything under the "towns" and "quests" tabs! Only 8 more tabs under the adventure objects tab to go..

I'm realllllllyyyyyyyyy hoping the landscape objects are all the same format so I only need to create a single class to read them in..

[Baronus]

Its good for us. Do it more like this :-)

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Done with everything under the "Mines" tab. I can't see dwellings being different from each other, or from mines for that matter, so hopefully that tab will follow shortly

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Dwellings completed.. onto power ups..

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Done with power ups.. now to movement modifiers..

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Movement modifiers complete.. on to shrines of magic..

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Magic shrines are complete.. Now I think it's time for a break Up next is "Treasures"

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Treasures complete. Looks like water objects are next, and then misc, bringing the adventure objects to a close

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Done with water objects. Now the miscellaneous!

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Finished with the Characters tab (except for random hero), and adventure objects. I'll start looking at landscape objects tomorrow

[Baronus]

Fast as I se :-):-):-)

[Karmakeld]

Haha yeah that would have saved me about 10 minutes

Well you know what they say, 10 minutes here and 10 and 10 minutes there, before you know of it, you will have saved yourself.. 10 minutes.. Let's hope landscape objects will goes just as smoothly

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Good news: I tested mountains, trees, rocks, structures, and vegetation, and they all have the same format, which I'm already able to read in / out So I'm calling landscaping objects (all of them) completed.

Currently I'm reading in my campaign and finding some small bugs with some of the adventure objects and fixing them (like that garrisons for some reason list their events in a different order than everything else.. wtf..)

I think I got those out of the way and am now on TGS and WoW objects! At least as far as things not working when trying to read in a campaign

After that is complete, I just have artifacts and any oddball objects that aren't in the main editor list / have a different format than what I've encountered so far.

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

TGS and WoW objects are complete. Moving onto artifacts

[Kalah]

Somebody PM me when there's a need for announcement or hosting or whatever.

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

I think I've finished with processing adventure and landscaping objects! I worked through a few more bugs / missed scripts by opening a couple campaigns, and I was also able to save those campaigns as new .h4c files.

I think that means I've made it to the terrain

Kalah, will do. So far all you can really do with this tool is easily copy and paste events between maps. I think maybe once I get through terrain and can paint it using this tool, we can do an announcement

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Got panel readout working (move cursor over a map and see the row / column at the bottom). Was some nice little panel geometry and trig calculations

Currently trying to understand how boundaries are represented for terrain, along with any other codes in the terrain data.

[iLiVeInAbOx05]

Well, I think I know the format for terrain codes with boundaries / etc., even if I don't know what all the codes themselves mean, so I may get to pulling all that data out tomorrow, but I think I need a rest
