sanderd17 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Today, the map format changed to allow bigger mountains.Game versions from now on won't be able to read old maps, and older game versions won't be able to read new maps.To convert from A18 maps to A19 maps, you should just run the python script here: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/source/tools/mapcompatibility/a18_to_a19.py?format=txt (can also be found under source/tools/mapcompatibility/a18_to_a19.py if you have the SVN version). There are more complete instructions per OS below.Converting from A19 maps back to A18 is also possible, however, this will create bad results when your hills are actually bigger than the A18 limit.If you have any problems, please drop by on the chat: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.quakenet.org/0ad-devInstructions for WindowsFirst make a backup of your existing map files. We're not responsible for lost maps.Install python 3.x for your OS: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/Open the command prompt, and go to the python installation directory. For example:cd "C:\Python34"Then run the script (depends on where you stored the maps and the script):python "C:\Users\UserName\0AD\source\tools\mapcompatibility\a18_to_a19.py" "C:\Users\UserName\0AD\binaries\data\mods\public\maps\scenarios\mapName.xml"Now you should be able to open your maps with Atlas again, and it should look just the same as before, but give you the ability to make higher mountains.Instructions for LinuxInstall python 3 as usual on your OS. Then open the shell and go to the directory of the script. For example (depends on where you put the script):cd "~/0ad/trunk/source/tools/mapcompatibility/"And run the script with python3. For example (depends on where you stored the map):python3 a18_to_a19.py "~/0ad/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/maps/scenarios/mapName.xml"Now you should be able to open your maps with Atlas again, and it should look just the same as before, but give you the ability to make higher mountains.

sanderd17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 hacha hahaha is this seriuos? I Mean this the max height ? Yes, it's ready for a new, super-fast pathfinder, so we can have super big maps with a good height difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 When can be possible this ?( pathfinder) and who is working on it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 The pathfinder is still being worked on, slowly. If there are no further problems with it, it should be releasable soon (A19 or A20 maybe). However, don't expect too much from the first versions of the new pathfinder. It will also need to grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
