Malu05's Terrain Management UDF (For ingame Terrain Editing)

[UnknOwned]

So here we have a little sample app. Even tho the source is included this is not going to replace the UDF since the code for this is somewhat ugly ^^.
The release does also contain the binary ofcause.

www.madx.dk/files/TerrainManagementV2.rar


This release include these features:

Terrain editing:

Hold Down: Numpad 1 to lower the terrain underneath the cursor.
Hold Down: Numpad 2 to raise the terrain underneath the cursor.

(NOTE: Put a macro in your button 2 actionbar with the folowing "/Console GXrestart" to get a visual update)

Object Management:

Hold Down: Numpad 3 to select object, you will be able to see the data about the selected object in the GUI.
Hold Down: Numpad 3 to select a object and then Numpad 5 to move it around.


Example:


Object Selection


Lower terrain



Raise Terrain

Sorry for not knowing about it, but how does this work? Does it read/modify the data of an individual vertex of that one triangle/poly, or does the structure contain more?

It edits the memory Terrain Data (the same that are stored in the MPQ files)
So as said in the first post, the best way to get some info about it is to read the documentation: ADT - WoW.Dev Wiki

Its vertices btw.

You messed up the hotkeys, but it's really awesome. Anyway to get it smoother? (Ofc not as smooth as NoggIt, but...^^)

Yea, saw that... its Numpad 1 and 4.. ^^
And offcause it can get smoother, currently at just does:

        $radpointYpos = -0.1
        $radpointY2pos =  -0.08
        $radpointY3pos =  -0.06

    ;RelativeSub
    RelativeTerrainOffset8x8($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX-1,$ActiveY-1,$radpointY2pos)
    RelativeTerrainOffset8x8($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX+0,$ActiveY-1,$radpointY2pos)    
    RelativeTerrainOffset8x8($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX-1,$ActiveY+0,$radpointY2pos)
    RelativeTerrainOffset8x8($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX+0,$ActiveY+0,$radpointY2pos)    
         
    ;SubRelativeSub
    RelativeTerrainOffset9x9Main($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX+0,$ActiveY+1,$radpointY3pos)
    RelativeTerrainOffset9x9Main($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX-1,$ActiveY+0,$radpointY3pos)    
    RelativeTerrainOffset9x9Main($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX+1,$ActiveY+0,$radpointY3pos)
    RelativeTerrainOffset9x9Main($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX+0,$ActiveY-1,$radpointY3pos)
    
    ;Center
    RelativeTerrainOffset9x9Main($MainOffsetY,$MainOffsetX,$SubOffsetY,$SubOffsetX,$ActiveX,$ActiveY,$radpointYpos)

Off cause the offsets have to be percentage and not a static value as they are now but it does give a good perception.
I would love to go back and see what algorithm Cryect used for terrain smoothing but im quite sure its some "general" one.

Also so display update would be lovely to have in realtime. I have no ASM expirence so I am not able to solve that problem on my own unless i find some magic pointer which im most likely not to.

Found and fixed a bug that made a error when scanning in the Black Temple.

When ever I run the prog it tells me that Its needs to close. I'm on Win XP Pro

EDIT: Nvm bro got it to work, incomingz cookiez

[Dead_Man]

Modded a good bit:

Now instead of Pressing Numpad 1 & 2 in order to Raise / Lower terrain you now hold alt and scroll Up / Down accordingly ( took more coding then you would think )

and i removed the GUI

btw if the author checks this out, there is a small bug that makes your camera extra sensitive to movement, not sure what it is but if you could check it out that would be great.

Well. Ingame Editing is a preeetty old thing. And its a frustrating one. In the beginning everything seems to be easy and possible. But as least that time we (Taliis Team. Schlumpf, Tigurius and me) tryed it we came to the point that its an endless task of running behind revosion changes and unknown memory leaks.

In fact just because u can do some very basic changes on ADT, the most known and most simple WMO File format ever, it doesnt mean that you can store it. Until that its just a nice hack. Not more.

But anyway. Its amazing that someone had the guts to start "this" again. I would see myself unbeliveable happy if you would do an re-loader tool. You know. Reload ADT, WMO, M2 files in a running wow client for debuging reasons.
THAT would be amazing.
