Tool: Yet another map viewer

[knizz]

This looks pretty cool. Is it running under linux?

Yes, I develop it on Linux but from time to time I try it on 64-systems and windows. Theoretically it should compile on Mac too.

It works on any little-endian system with at least 32-bits and C-Standard-Libraries (and FLTK for the gui).

Neat lol, I love Linux!!! It's a billion times better than windows in my book. Open Source forever!

aww, you don't use GTK+?
it's really nice :) plus, there's lots of documentation and what not. do you need a library to use FLTK?

I had bad experiences with GTK+. Especially on windows. But the main reason it that I like the API of FLTK. It's incredibly intuitive. You don't have to worry about layout anymore. I also used QT so I know what I'm talking about. But you can write a GTK+ gui if you want :P

The standard compiling-environment of mingw has anything FLTK needs. (No extra libs) And on linux you have the package-manger of course.

 

[Full Metal]

hm...is there a big learning curve between GTK+ and FLTK?
o.o bad experiences with GTK+ on windows??
anything i should know of, since all my tools use those...?

ZHE EXE

I finally compiled this tool on windows.

Only two buttons work: "land_data" and "build_model"
By clicking the buttons you can load the according Nintendo-Archives. If you want to unload one of these slots press "Cancel" during the file-selection.

You can drag the number to the right to increase it.

In the 3D-Window you can use WASD-Controls and Q to switch to wireframe-mode.

EDIT: Removed attachment. There is a newer version now.

This is looking great! (I downloaded the file you attached and opened up land_data_release) ...But I don't know how to use it... :( I got a 3d Twinleaf Town, and I want to edit that map. How would I change the textures? I'm trying to make Littleroot Town.

haha this isn't an editor yet. It's just a beta (more like alpha) to show off XD. And there is no support for textures yet but I'm working on it right now.

 

[knizz]

They should be equally stable

 

[knizz]

Normally the models get their colors from the textures. However it's possible to additionally save colors in the vertices. The colors are multiplied with the texture and are used to achieve fake lightning. If you see coloured line I recommend to switch to solid mode.

I can't reproduce this error. I used the diamond-maps / platin-buildings.
Can you start the editor from dos and redirect the messages into textfile. Like this: "map_editor.exe >output.txt" and attach it?

 

[knizz]

Yes, I meant the command prompt. Use "dir" to get to the correct directory and type the "map_editor.exe >output.txt". Then the output is in the file "output.txt" in the same directory

 

[knizz]

I think the indoor-maps are 1/2x or 2x of the outdoor-maps. I never played Pokemon Diamond and I also can't emulate it. So can someone verfiy this?

 

[locoroco]

I can emulate it perfectly but you will have to explain exactly wut u want me to do and ill tell u in a jiff

 

[knizz]

I worked on texture-support today and this is what came out. You can't see many changes. Most of the work was because of the texture-manager which loads/unloads the textures that are/aren't required to/from the graphics-card.

 

[m64m]

wait, are the textures supposed to be loaded like that?

 

[Full Metal]

um...wut archives are we supposed to use? (im away from nitro right now...)
i only have my land_data and texture files from pearl, what files am i supposed to load?

 

[knizz]

95% of the file format are implemented and 1/10 of the textured objects work now. There are still problems with the scale of the buildings but I'll ignore that for now.

The next thing I'll implement are the WRITING-PARTS (yay)

 

[m64m]

=D!!!!

What do you mean by writing-parts? What are those?

 

[knizz]

The parts of the program that write the data back to the rom. (An editor without a "save"-option is pretty useless)
