Map converter

[Celsius]

Been working on new Korean map format for ThreeHeroes, and wrote my our own converter to convert old maps to the newer format.

Ruby's only did one from what I remember and download links seem to be down anyway, so if anyone wants it here it is.

- Will convert single map
- Will convert a directory of maps (multiple maps)
- Will skip already converted maps
- Will create a new folder for converted maps, keeping the old one intact.

I tested it and all seems well, if anyone has any issues then let me know!

Thanks for the release, nice1.
Edit: Would be good if you could convert newer maps to old format if you can't already.

Yeah I was looking into it. The only real downside would be if you used Ruby files, you wouldn't be able to fish. As I think, not 100% on this, that is what some of the extra information in the new format is used for.

Incase a 2.3 server or other apart from ruby could use the new korean maps.

I won't, as long as I don't have to put up with your egotistical, power mad mood swings. Which I don't. =)

Yeah, probably be easier to convert newer formatted maps into the older format, as long as fishing wasn't required. Unless Lil knows of the extra byte being used for something else?

I don't see how it would be easier to convert new maps to old format at all... surely there are a lot less old (custom) maps which need converting in comparison to new maps?

And I couldn't give a crap if you do a Mask or not, hence the back up. You already did anyway actually, autopatcher . Nor will I put up with you so I suggest you drop the attitude.

Fishing is just a number in the "light" byte. I'm not sure what the extra bytes are for i thought it could hold another tile image for dynamic maps.

Adding fish attributes is the most painful job in the world ....'NEVER AGAIN' will i attempt that lol.

101, 102, 103 and 104 isn't it ?

Patcher was done, and released to a select few.

Ahhh, so we have no idea what it's used for?

What you want a mapeditor for? You never make maps anyway -,-

Lol and its comments like this that make me wonder why matt even bothers to release in the 1st place. Your the 1 that has the attitude most the time tai.

It would be easier to convert new>old format because 1. we dont use fishing and 2. you wont have to redownload all the maps.
most people make new maps in old format, not new also

Just been talking to Lil.

Turns out we went different ways about converting our maps, so this is useless if you use the Ruby files.

New is the way forward, Anyways , mir2 maps / non 16bit = **** .. enuff sed
