Script to convert maps to layer terrain format

Post by fabi »

This script transforms a map file or a scenario file which contains a map.
It does not translate old single char maps !

It needs extra "oldstring=" in the terrain.cfg used für translation.
It is a modification of the map_convert.pl script and is used in the same way.

Thanks for the script, it will be nice for those who already converted their content :) I'll look at it later since I don't have time today.

Isn't the entire content in 1.3.1 svn allready translated from single char ?
I thought it could be used to transform svn and commit the new terrain config files to trunk.

SVN has been converted, but it might be that UMC has been converted as well. When we started to talk about the layering stuff, the idea was to keep things compatible...

new config files

Post by fabi »

Here is a new set of config files:
  • added a mushroom plains terrain
    added snowforest hill terrain
    added forest hill terrain
    added elvish village on a snowhill
    added elvish village on a hill
    added bridges over sand for rivers which went dry during some seasons

    Swamps are displayed better
    Trees no longer grow in water or on roads
    some transitions now work like expected :-)

I try to modify the script so it converts the terrain outside of map description
( for example inside an event ) too.
Then compatibility shouldn't be a problem any more.
