here's a contribution to save hmp terrain

declare this function in your project:



set skip_original_pixels to 1 ,if you want to skip the original image
pixel data , and try to rather use the pixel data from the bmap buffers,
use this if you want to save modified pixel operations .


else set it to 0.

---

include save_hmp.dll in your project folder .

then call this function to save your terrain entity out to file .

---

has skin support , bmp and tga supports modified pixel data .

dds and png and jpg only supports non modified pixel data and "skip_original_pixels" wil default to 0 , no matter what the value "skip_original_pixels" was set to when you called the function (for now anyway)...

Wjbender@ thank you very much! it's very useful contribution!

Best regards!

roger that , over and out

thanks!
do you plan to support skin changes in future?
in MapBuilder I use a dll which works fine, but saves hmp with original skins.

did you write that dll ? or where did you get it .

I am surely planning on that , however my current understanding of the ctexture & cskin information ,is a bit vague , especially working from the bmap pointers of the skin's data towards completely correct data for ctexture and cskin , well I believe that's where I am supposed to retrieve my data to fill up ctexture and cskin .

I got from an old user called Widi with the permission to use it.
as I remember HeelX has a working version, and you can search his related questions to jcl, to get some useful info...

well it appears to be just arrays of (color per pixel) with bmap->bytespp, either arranged as rgb or bgr , I think I can manage .

tested with 2 bmap skins , worked fine , however I am a bit confused with the mipmaps .
