Changelog

  • Added pathfinding generator
    • When you load a map it shows the map in a separate panel (you will need to open this panel from the Window Controller og the new View option in the top menu bar). You can download it as a PNG and see some other info about the pathfinding map.
    • In the right side panel at the bottom there is a new window called Pathfinding visiblity where you can toggle to show the pathing map in the 3D world/map. There's also a slider for lifting or lowering the pathingmap to make it more visible
    • Updated the UI. The old UI was anoying and sucked. Thew new UI looks basically the same but has better default settings:
      • Remembers the program window position and size
      • A new top bar menu.
      • Remember the positions of windows inside the program and their sizes.

Thanks to Laurent Dufresne for reverse engineering how GW computes the pathingmap from the .dat files.

Since I finally reverse engineered the code for blending terrain textures I thought it deserved a major release bump!

Changelog

  • Pixel perfect terrain texture blending. The terrain should now look the exact same as in game.
  • Removed some old and unecessary terrain pixel shaders from the Render Settings UI. Now there are only two options:
    • Textured - the new pixel perfect terrain shader
    • Tile Checker - color each 96x96 tile in the game either black or white in a checkered pattern
  • Updated Blender addons to 5.0 and added pre-computed terrain UV export. Terrain rendering in Blender now matches the C++ renderer quite closely. Breaking change: incompatible with previous exports and older Blender versions. Uninstalling and reinstalling previous addons is necessary, as is reexporting maps (right click a map file in the dat browser and select "Export full map").
  • Higher framerates when rendering maps.

Bug fixes

  • PNG extraction exception (when trying to extract map view to png)
  • Fixed some aspect ratio problems during PNG extration (map view)
  • Fixed an exception (in debug mode) when rendering a model after a map had been loaded.
  • Fixed an issie where imgui.ini was saved in the export folder.

Changelog

  • Some 3D models were previously invisible (faces and other body parts) due these files not containing any texture filenames. This version now renders these models using a single color (gray).
  • In previous versions many files had a File Id of 0. These now have a proper File Id. But this File Id can be shared with other related files. In particular some models seems to consist of 3 model files all sharing the same File Id.

Changelog

  • Added extract option for extrating all textures to PNG
  • You can now search/filter the files in the dat browser by a murmur3 hash
  • Added a new window for searching for byte patterns in the uncompressed dat files. Uses ?? for wildcard and spaces between bytes. Example of a pattern: 4A ?? 4D 3F 61 ?? 02.
