Editing Wil Files

[TheMike]

Right, my server getting pretty nice now, made serveral new provinces, added npcs, and new mobs (still cant get sounds to work on the mobs...)

Anyways, now im interested in editing will files to add stuff to em.

Want to add mini maps for the new provinces i have. How would i go about doing this? Ive been using LOM Image Viewer, and although it has an impotr button it does not work righ, seems to only let me overwrite current images in the wil files.

What proggy should i be using, is tehre anything i should do to the map images before i import em? Should i resize em so that fo example my new 400 x 200 map is exactly 400 x 200 pixels?

Help

Basicly you gotta export all the images out of the wil file ( 0 - ????? ). Then replace the empty imgs with the stuff you want, then use lom image viewer to re-build the .wil file. Simple as that.

Excellent. Should imagine i can contribute, im good with crap like this. If i produce anythign good, i will post

As for the mini maps, do i just make a 400 x 200 map image exactly 400 x 200?

Just use the 'save as bitmap' function on the map editor, then use that img.

Also be prepared for a lot of resizing and placement changing lol ¬.¬ thats why i always hated minimap making.

Minimaps are easy.

Safe the map as .bmp, open it in paint and select the stretch and skew option, s&s to 25% and then safe. Insert it into your mmap.wil in a blank space and jot down the number, add 1 to the number and enter it in the right place in your minimap.txt.

If that works im shoving something sharp and sticky up your bum bum. Cause i used to spend ages changing size and placements.
