Road tool, the new version (link fixed)

[CupidMoon]

I have to say sorry to all of you. It takes quite long time.

In this version, it has 2 new features.

1'st, Gradiant mask.
It uses a gray scale images as a mask, rather than 2 color images.
It means, most white colored cell has 10 object in random position, while black cell has 0 object.

2'nd Road mask
After you generate raod, U can create road mask. It can places objects VERY close to the roads.

And Road creating algoritm has improved.

Here is a link to the road tool

Here is a gradiant mask sample


Here is a road masking result


-=== HOW TO USE GRADIANT MASK ===-
Create a gradiant mask first.
click load mask, and open the mask.
set amount "-1", and click "random position" ...
then, click "Create Object"

-=== HOW TO USE ROAD MASK ===-
In road tool, After generate roads. click "Road Mask", It may take times..
If it done, close road tool.

Well I was very sceptical when I first saw it.

I had not even bothered with the earlier version, but...

I now realise how stupid I was, its a greast toold and just saved me from months of work.

The road tool is great.

I have a question..   Whats the Misc - Fence/Forest about??

Its a great tool and I wonder about the following?

I am hoping that you have the ability to enable the program to do fence line placements in the same way as the roads are placed.  Also the ability to use a higher resolution mask.

Cool tool, however when I try placing a road, and then save the WRP.
When I try and open it up in WRPEdit again I get a invalid floating point operation, what am I doing wrong?

Sure, I don't mind. but, not now..
It is some unstable...

I have a question..   Whats the Misc - Fence/Forest about??

Misc - Fence/Forest:
  Create forest or fences.
  Uses Black/White Images for a mask.
  Forest tool is very similiar to "WRPUtil", It places forest in white cell..
  Fence tool, creates fences surrounding white cells..

When I try and open it up in WRPEdit again I get a invalid floating point operation, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry to hear that, but currently I have few informations about WRP file format.
So, It could be unstable..

Be sure, you must backup your wrp files before run my tool!!

If you don't already have this document get it here:

Documentation to Wrp files by zwadar
http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?category=1_6

It isn't a lot, but nevertheless, very helpful.

There is also an outline of the format from OFPInternals, but I'm not sure where you can find it now, I have a copy if you don't already have one.
