MapToolz for Alpha 21?

[AH64_Jimbo]

Is there an updated version of MapToolz for Alpha 21? All I have found is a link for MapToolz v.1.4.0 found at https://wiki.dirtyloot.net/en/MapToolz. Unfortunately 7DTD Alpha 21 flips out when the Mod is installed. I've found that MapToolz is indispensable for fine-tuning RWG maps. Does anyone know of a link to a better version of MapToolz that is compatible with Alpha 21?

There isn't one currently.

Bummer. Does anyone know of an alternate way to convert a .raw file to a .png file and back? MapToolz did that and more very nicely. Without it, I can't edit the heightmap (dtm.raw) file for any given map.

I tried it, but it didn't work. It looks like this was meant for photographic digital negatives, and not for heightmaps. Thank you for searching anyway!

I haven't used KingGen for over a year, ever since TFP switched over to using RWG tiles in Alpha 20. I totally forgot about the KingGen tools.

It worked, though! Thanks! Just remember to use the 8-bit converter and not the 16-bit.

awesome.

I use KingGen for biome mapping I prefer Teragon for world gen, but KingGen still allows for Burnt Biomes tobe generated. I saw the raw to png option and thought of you. glad it worked

This kind of basic stuff can also be done using Teragon. It even can perform the conversion (PNG <---> RAW) losslessly. However, it is probably a bit more difficult to use.^^

is there a way to export preview in a21 without maptoolz?

You can generate burnt in Teragon. You need to edit the height at which biomes starts and stop in the expert settings. I like to make islands or lots of lakes and I do it in this order.

Wasteland      - 25
Desert             - 30
Burnt Forest    - 40
Forest              - 80
Snow               - 256

This is a map I just made using Teragon and messing with the crater and city settings. Best Nuke in the middle of a metropolis I've made yet.

I also just found this. you drag and drop the files into the browser and it generates images pretty great.  you can even select the pois you want to highlight.

Teragon has a preset you can load up and just point to your folder, will generate a nice HD POI map with names etc.
