Mike - thanks for this, it all works for me now (in Windows 8 mode, not Windows 10). Nice job on the GUI!

@MK83/Gtox - ummm, not sure why it would need win8 compat. mode. Works fine on my Win10 64bit OS. If I have time I will have a look into it. As long as it runs that's the main thing for now. @Gtox - nice landscape and glad you like the GUI, loads I can do there.

@OldPman - Hope it works for you, but please let me know if you have any issues.

HINT: if you want to change the texture of the terrain, for now you can copy over a 1024x1024 jpg image and save it to media/textures and rename to texture_1024.jpg. Maybe I will add at later time, the ability for user to choose their own terrain texture image. I copied over one of the ones from GG (think it was the fantasy grass or something and renamed it to "texture_1024.jpg" and works fine.


Still quite a bit I can do to this (maybe) if I have the time. At the moment concentrating on nursery for my unborn baby boy, which is also great fun and exciting and scary.

Hmm, I had to set it to window 7 compatibility for it to run.
Once I did this I could get thru the import and save.

hmmmm, I will have to look into this when I get some free time today between decorating.

Please note that to leave the application you can close it by selecting the "X" button of the main window.
You can also minimize the option window. if you close the option window using the "X" button of the window, you can use ALT+O to redisplay again.

ok, I think I may have found the culprit in my code regarding the compatibility having to be ticked on some end user machines. Unfortunately, I can only test on Win10 64/32 bit OS. I have also added some code to disable the escape key so that it forces the user to quit the program using the "X" window close button which will also "flush" the video memory on correct exit of the app. If anyone wants to see anything in the next release, please feel free to drop me a PM/email or post here. I think one of the things I want to add is user selection of texture image for the terrain, I originally just picked out a test example image. Anyway back to decorating......fun

ok I spoke too soon regarding the compatibility issue. I am now having the same issue when I run on my desktop. Will have a look into it, not sure what it is yet for definite but have a hunch.

"Heightmap to game guru" ...yeah right, I wish!

...

Oh wait! This thread is by Bored of the rings...did he make a tool? YES HE DID!



The win 10 crash is unfortunate, though.

yet another Win10 update to screw things up even more. I hear the sound of rewrite coming ugh and tempted to move over to Linux ha

the only way it runs is with compatibility mode selected on win8 or win7. Yet it runs fine when compiling/debugging. seems to be a problem when creating a new folder e.g. under desktop, placing the files in the new folder and then running as admin, then it won't run. I delete a dll or a file and then it runs randomly without compatibility on just as admin and my UAC is off. this has only been issue since the recent Win10 updates which also removed most of my shortcuts including steam ones. Microsoft suck big time. I'm off to do decorating which seems more rewarding.

ok so icons I can hopefully restore by deleting the iconcache in appdata/local etc and then restarting windows10 once my major backups have completed. I can then decide whether to re-install windows or not or just try to fix my current system. What a load of old poop. ha

system now re-installed and dev environments back in place. Here is the link to version 2.1a of the program. I have tested this only on Win10 64bit on my desktop and runs fine without setting compatibility mode. Still have to run as administrator though. If you have recently had the big critical Win10 updates, you may need to copy the missing dll's back over to both system32 and SYSWOW64 folders i.e. the dll's in the archive.

@BotR

How about something like this to automatically generate the path to the installed GG (according to steam generated vakues ) ?
Feed it "266310" for GG and append "\files"



And maybe, optionally allow non-canonical pathnames, such as ".\Game Guru_DX9\Files"

@yrkoon-thanks for your comments. Yes, this is something that I tried previously in my code but there was a permissions issue stopping me from reading the directory from the registry. Maybe I will try another approach. Your second comment regarding non-canonical pathnames, I might add an option for this, will see.

Weird. I'll check again, I'm using that all the time in my GG related programs, never noticed a problem. But I haven't run them for a while, now. Are you sure that it is a problem from the authorizations/permissions side tht you experienced ?
On the non-canonicals names: I use them to discriminate between different / backup installations of GG to avoid having to install from steam when something went really bad. I think I'm not the only one.

I will probably try my code again as the whole of my system went a bit screwy somewhere post Win10 critical updates. Was always my intention to read from the registry but it wasn't happening for me using C++ or basic language.

[update-ok found mistake in my code, will correct.]

Well done, BotR.
The registry based steam path could well act as default.

And your previous effort is not lost (from my p.o.v.), if you are willing to allow non-canonical GG pathnames for alternate GG locations.
(At least my ) Troubles with those alternates are that they are usually hard to tell apart by their canonical names in the small screen space of the requester.

@yrkoon-thanks. Reading from registry now working and removed GG path from the .INI file. How I didn't see my mistake before I have no idea. I am willing to look into getting the program to work with non-canonical GG paths. Did you have a number of specific alternate paths in mind or was it just the ability to allow at least one alternate path? Is this something that you want stored in the .INI file for future program runs?

If anyone else has any other features they would like to see added, please feel free to PM/email me and I will try and add it in the next release.

Congrtats, BotR. I was sure you'd make it. I myself also had a stumble or two over those registry functions, in the beginning, so, don't worry about that.

Quote: " I am willing to look into getting the program to work with non-canonical GG paths. Did you have a number of specific alternate paths in mind or was it just the ability to allow at least one alternate path? Is this something that you want stored in the .INI file for future program runs?"

Oh, thanks a lot, but I was only suggesting something I think others would also like, just providing examples I think are feasible.

As it happens, I had developed my own program for this kind of thing many months ago, ( I think I mentioned this when the discussion on converting heightmaps started anew, leading to your program which is really fine).

Although I have mislayed my code somewhere, I was able to recall from memory the basics of what I had once found out about GGs inner mechanics. Unfortunately, mindwise, I'm slowly drifting away from GG , thus, you could call me too lazy to really try and retrieve my original code from some abandoned HD lying around somewhere.

So, best see if others really agree to / request the option to use non-canonical names, too.
And keep up the good work for those who still have faith in GG.

How would that be achieved ? You would have to have two y values (ceiliing and floor) for the exact same spot on in the x-z plane to construct a "cave". Even if you introduced a "second heightmap" somehow, the engine wouldn't know what to do with it.
The usual solution for this kind of thing is a voxel engine, which GG ist certainly not.
You'll have to stick with crevasses and landscape depressions covered with models as ceilings for a long time, I'm afraid. Not that this is a dissatisfying option, though. Or whole caves created as models.

awesome Earthling45, you guys maps come out better than mine glad it all works for you. Also tested out now on my new Win10 32bit OS after having to replace my old poop internal hard drive. Now can test on both Win10 64/32 bit again...phew !!!

More to come soon....

many thanks guys. I will be working on the next version of this tool shortly and am hoping at some point to add the code to the GameGuru GitHub source code once I get access email from Lee so that I can be added as a collaborator. Not sure whats going on at the moment with that side, at the moment I am able to compile/run the source code from Github in VS2017.

I'm looking to implement this functionality into the GameGuru direct using the Github source code when I can find time between other committments. Have to blow the dust off the external drive and dig out the source code, get it working again . Last time I worked on this, was adding some more functionality to split the maps up. Need to refresh my memory.

woo...managed to find my source code for the map splitting of the terrain. I had only done some very early stage testing, but once I finish with the DBO2X app, I'll move back onto this. I haven't forgotten to upload the current version back onto my google drive, will do this as soon as possible, just got to locate it as I had a bit of PC crash a while back and had to reinstall.

Mhm. I really can't wait for it to be back. A lot of these awesome tools are nifty to use, but they always seem to vanish from the web after 3 weeks of uptime.

here is the new link to my google drive if you wish to download v2.2 of HM2GG. I'll paste the link also on the the first post of the thread on page 1 for convenience. No password required.

Currently adding map splitter GUI/code so that you will be to well errr.... split your maps horizontally/vertically an idea which was passed my way from another GG member. Plus, more tweaks/improvements here and there where needed including optimisation of the code.
At the moment I'm doing a lot of testing, if all goes ok will release next version (3.0).

If anyone else has any ideas/ comments/ constructive criticism/hangups, please let me know.

another option I will add is 'forceshore' so that the terrain is surrounded by ocean. This is also what GG does in the engine so I've mimicked that process. It also seems to improve performance. I've used the UK Isle Of Wight island as a tester. Still messing with values etc.

@GraPhix-thanks, I am looking at the GG source code at the moment and figuring out how I can incorporate all this into the main engine. But for now will just work on the external tool.
