Re: [WIP] Village of Tides
This is magnificent work, but how did you develop the block info for this map?
If you mean the HTD file, I made a tutorial for it which can be found in the tutorials section. It explains most of what you need to know. I leave the rest for you to discover and find out.
If you mean the SHBD file then I had to figure it all out again because the current tool doesn't function correctly. After I figured it out, I created a (very poorly written) program to convert the SHBD files to an editable version and then back to an SHBD.
This is the level of accuracy I get with it:
This is what the converted file looks like (from SHBD):
Note that the minimap isn't pixel perfect and that's why it may seem a little off.
Farbod! That's actually amazing. I love it!
Thank you, I spent a lot of time on it, to get this far, I hope I can produce a worth while end result so that I can make a video to show it all off.
I was actually thinking of creating a whole new editor for maps, which would include things like being able to edit the HTD and add nifs and edit them as well as layering the bmps and everything, but I think it will take too long so I don't plan on doing it, even though it would have made this process of editing the map for me much easier and quicker, because I wouldn't have had to login repeatedly every time I moved a nif file in the shmd or changed a nif.
It was quite useful figuring how maps work because now I can use that knowledge for my emulator since I'm making this for it, so no one will have access to this map for a while, since I will be releasing this with the emulator.
