ds1edit (questions & answers during development) |
Tadaaaaaa, as a first post here, here's a big new : my ds1edit.exe finaly allow you to start level editing.
screenshot of tristram at works, when no save was here (so no test of this, but it show more or less the selection process)
Changing Tristram
After some coding, I change some things in the Fortress, save it, test it and ... and it works
Fortress of Pandemonium test
(but I have to admit that not all the things I changed worked  )
You can copy / paste (but just 1 tile at a time for now), delete all the selected layers, and save your map. Check the Readme.txt for further details. There are still many efforts to made to make it completly user-friendly, but at least you have now something to start with.
Warning : try to not change the tiles were there are some special tiles like the entry point of the map (portal for tristram), corpse place, etc... I'll take that into acount too, but later, and surely next week, because now my weekend is finished, so does the editor improvments
As a last note, I'm not sure it won't bug, or if the maps will be ok, I just made 1 test because of lacks of time, but it works, so why not for you ?
See you
Edit : change images to links

Your Tools are awesome Paul Siramy, great job! I wanted to ask how animated tiles work as I couldn't find anything in the docs, and if it was possible to make certain sections of a tile impassable instead of the whole tile. Thanks again

Very splendid work:). If I create another D2X mod, I'll certainly be using that map editor quite extensively for it:).

Sure thing, this level editor will bring D2 moding to the next level. Paul Siramy, you're making an incredible job, your editor will rock  (yeah I just had to use this smiley, it's sooo cool  )
And you're moderator of the Tools forum as well, nothing more appropriate. All the best to you my friend

Wow Trip, I'm very impressed with your mod. Very cool indeed. 8) And Paul Siramy, your tremendous help and work on ds1s and dt1s is greatly appreciated by all members of this forum. Well done. Guess I've got to postpone my mod once again so I can do some ds1 editing.

I am speechless too! That's it, my mod died of serious skill envy! (heh heh) I'll just have to console myself with poking around the DLLs and unearthing unusual tidbits.

Paul Siramy, with your ds1edit program, is it possible to transfer tiles from different maps to another map. Because I want to make all of Act 4 be surrounded by lava. So, I tried the fortress ds1 map, and looked for the animated lava tiles, but couldn't find them. But they are in the diablo_entry map file, which tells me that you can only choose from tiles that are found in that map file. Is there a way to put for example, an animated lava tile into the fortress map?

That screenshot is really, um, nice, Trip. You sure that's from D2? 
On a more general note, these new forums are really good. Nice selection of smileys. 
And it's sort of funny to see Apocalypse Demon having 12 posts in total...

@Apocalypse Demon : Check the dt1files.txt, and the according .bat files. You have to add the lava dt1 to the fortress line (order is important, priority is from left to right). That's for my editor, but you have to do the same in a .txt of diablo2, from where this file coming from, but I don't remember the name. It's the same as mine, but with more columns.
I never try, but it should work.

for the fallout screenies, do you use dt1make to make all of these new tiles ?
is it hard or not ?
i'll try to extract BG2 tiles and see if they could be converted !!

Yep, I used Dt1extr, it makes a huge pcx file of all the tiles in a Dt1 maybe 2. Then you use Dtmake to convert it back to a Dt1. The only hard thing is replacing big objects like Wagons and tents since they are cut up in so many different parts. Btw did you receive those deatclaw and radscorp files? Was there anything else you needed from fallout BOS?

Nope, no idea. I didn't ask to use virtual screen in my prog, so I wonder where the problem is. Sorry.

Kind of plugins |
Using the new tools, did somebody has created some kind of plugins linked to a new level/rooms/places.
Like for example a new tristram, fortress, duriel that we can download ?

hey Paul, a wonderfull tool!
but I've got 3 questions:
1. I'm in the throne of darkness, and I wanna replace 4 pillars for 4 floors, how do I remove the pillar so that I can just walk over that place?
2. I wanna change act 1 town, how do I do that, coz I don't see a MS-DOS thing for act 1 town
3. is it possible to make black and white squares as a floor with this tool?
Sorry if this is said in the readme, but I can´t find it there

"1. I'm in the throne of darkness, and I wanna replace 4 pillars for 4 floors, how do I remove the pillar so that I can just walk over that place?"
Click on the pillar tiles, then right click, choose the 'floor' tabs, and select a floor tile to replace it.
