Terrain Importer v2.0b
Programmed by cliff
Copyright 2006, Clifford A. Anderson
This is just a simple little program I whipped up to allow an image file to be imported as a heightmap for the terrain in Neverwinter Nights 2.
This allows much greater flexibility in creating terrain, since I honestly do not care much for the built in terrain tools.
However, due to a limitation in the way plug-ins must interact with the terrain system, it is incredibly slow.
This version is feature complete, including everything that will be part of the 2.0 final release. This beta version is intended for final testing leading up to the final release.
Please see the readme.txt for details about features and how to report bugs.
Thanks to McMillanJJ, desdain and WizShade for all their help in getting this working.
Having to go back to the BetaToolSet so I can use this, hotfix patch recompile needed asap mate... _________________________ I see repented people

Btw - any chance of updating Terrain Importer to v 1.03 any time soon? I feel deprived without it...

I love this tool - in fact I am addicted to it - I cannot mod NWN2 without it!

This and L3DT are a fantastic combo... Only wish you had a 1.03b version up. (Or the source code!)

The docs are not coming as quickly as I would like, unfortunately. I have not been spending as much time on TerrainImporter as I probably should, but between actually being able to play NWN2 and also working on other projects of a game-related but non-NWN2-related nature. Sorry, folks. Profitable gamedev has to come first. Anyhow, if y'all could please be sure to send bug reports to the e-mail address provided in the readme file instead of posting them here, it would really help to keep this page from getting any messier than it already is. Cheers! _________________________ If the truth can be... told... So as to be... under... stooooood... It will be... believed.

I think I just figured out my first hurdle. Copied and pasted from your readme.txt "For L3DT importing to work properly, you will need to set the L3DT Attributes Map output settings to output PNGs with Colour Mapping. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click on File -> Properties 2. Expand Attribute map -> PNG 3. Click Options... 4. Doubleclick ColourMapped until it is set to true. 5. Click OK until you close all the open dialogs Sorry for little documentation again on this release, but it is only an alpha so I'll come up with better documentation when it releases." I hope you are working on the docs so as to fend off more silly noob questions like mine! I am getting somewhere now but would love to see some "recommended practices".

I made a L3DT project that is pretty much the default tutorial. I am getting this error when I try to import: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentNullException: Key cannot be null.

Since I have not received a single bug report since the beta release was made, and have not managed to crash it myself, I'm going to assume it's ready for release and have the release version of 2.0 posted on Friday. If you have found any bugs, please send them to me! _________________________ If the truth can be... told... So as to be... under... stooooood... It will be... believed.

All the features are active, but you must either be using an L3DT project, or load an attributes map on the texture tab. Thanks! _________________________ If the truth can be... told... So as to be... under... stooooood... It will be... believed.
