Re: Map Merger 1.2

Hey there again! Thanks for all the suggestions! :D

- Ability to add layers (for caves and such) I suppose this is already planned as it seems to be a common feature on map mergers.

It's on my TODO-List, but it will require some major changes in my programm logic, so it will take a while until i can add this feature.

- Some way to divide the Markers into categories and filter them by icon and/or category. Filtering by icon would be useful to see clay spots, or water spots, etc... Category could be something like "importance" (Major, minor, etc...) and it would hide the marker (leaving only the icon) when you zoom out. For example, if you have a region full of markers and some of them are not that important (like a simple cave entrance), the cave entrance could only appear when you zoom in, and that would be determined by the category, Major markers appear from far away, Minor markers need to be zoomed in


Categorizing makes sense for a lot of markers, you're right. I'll see what i can do :)
I'm thinking about an Importance Property for the Markers, with values like High, Normal and Low, which then change the visibility depending on Zoom-Level.

- A cave entrance marker, a Village Claim (the big animal skull) marker, some smiles (maybe happy, neutral and bad, to mark people as peaceful, neutral, aggressive, etc...) :) Or the ability to add custom markers :D


Yeah, there are missing some important icons, i'll try to add them for the next release :)
Also i'll think about the Custom-Markers.

And something I'd love to see that I've never seen in any map merger:
- The ability to 'name regions'. It would be like a marker, but with a larger (yet not so prominent, no background, etc) font and it would scale up and down with the map (as if it was drawn on the map) so we can name forests, lakes, etc.. :D I can do it with a marker, I know, but there are 2 problems with that:
1- markers NEED icons. Region names would be cool without icons
2- region names should be a 'different' layer, not so prominent as markers :)


Really liking this idea and it will definitely get added! :)

If i overlooked any suggestion, please let me know :)

PS:
I found this really amazing font called Eskargot. I think it fits HnH nicely, it has a 'nordic vibe' and especially because of those blocky edges and whirls, a common shape on the hearthlands landscape and wildlife.
Here's a link to where I got it from: it's a 100% free font! http://www.dafont.com/eskargot.font

Released Version 1.5
Greatly reduced memory usage by downscaling the tiles at certain zoom levels.
This also improved the performance alot when working with big maps.
Reworked Coordinates to only show on the borders.
Taskbar Icon now shows Progress.

Thanks for the report. :)
The Problem were the fingerprints.txt files in the Tile-Folders.

I've updated the tool with a fix :

Result must be this

I tryed diferent ways to may it works: Load Sub-dirs, Merge Sub-Dirs, Merge Dir(each separetly). Always get one result: loaded first session and then 0 tiles added.

Tool log:
Code: Select all

The Tool takes the first folder of the sub directories as the mainmap and tries to match the other map-parts to this mainmap.
Please try to load your biggest map part via Load -> Load Directory and then merge this map with the other map parts via Merge -> With Sub-Directories.

Also in the Test-Data you uploaded the three mapparts don't seem to be connected in any way.
For the merging process the tool tries to find map-tiles that overlap and then combines the mapparts on that overlapping piece.
It doesn't try to merge them via the Tile-Coordinates, as they may have different origin points, meaning the Tile at 0,0 isn't always the same.

That might be the reason why it can't merge the maps.

With which client were the Session-Folders created? For the most part of creating this tool i used the output of the Amber Client.


EDIT: I'm currently working on a manual way of merging maps.
This feature will allow the user to merge maps which couldn't be automatically merged.
