SharpKCM - KCM to Raw Heightmaps

Hey all

Presenting a simple KCM to HeightMap converter, written in C# (requiring .NET 2.0).
It produces a 8bit indexed coloured bitmap file, which is the common base-format for raw heightmaps.
It can be edited with editors like Height Map Editor Home

Heightmaps were never to be edited with 3D editors, and the idea with this is to create a simple KCM <-> Heightmap producer, that will allow simple heightmap editing.

However, I'm not done with the CRC and Heightmap -> KCM part yet, so you have to wait for that. If you find other tools to edit raw heightmaps with, please post here. Thanks

It's allready specificated in puppi's code.

Also you never test your things up against the game, which is why you don't know about the CRC. Phantom* calculated it for us when we did the Ice Dungeon, as we needed a CRC update to split the dungeons allowing new filenames.
I could easy imagine that being the case for map files too.

You might want to be quite about things you never tested using the CURRENT GAME CLIENT :)

I tested my KCM-Map's and they worked fine with a HEADER-CHANGE.. that no CRC is needed -.-

You need to know.. You know the old WALL-HACK (so it was called..)

Inixsoft changed the Files.. (the header) .. they added a header with CRC..

But those IDIOTS didn't deleted the OLD-HEADER..

Thats why I can still edit maps without CRC.. on OLD-HEADER

Only get a old KCM map from old client.. you will see 1 number i different ..
Copy this number to you MAP .. and you have no CRC-Check -.-

nice work thx :)

will you be making a converter back to KCM? Altho this is a great app, its pointless unless you can go back to KCM

He will. Read his post. ^^

Hm... I should make a Kal movie with this helping me to make the world xD

But, that is after I learn how to model humans. :(

Try with p00 and hands :P

hehe and my editor is now useless ;p but still was fun to make! that's important for me :>

ofc not, i don't like the editor which TDA add it, yours is sexeh

Couldn't have made it without your applications revealing the specs for me ;-)

You have yet to experience Blender or Z-Brush sculpting and displacement modifiers. A little of what you all are missing :)
