I'm having a few problems with UOLandscaper, and hoping someone can offer some help to resolve them.
I have read through this thread from 2015 which seems to have the most information: UO Landscaper v1.4.x
I have created the registry entry also as shown in that thread, but i'm constantly getting unhandled exception errors with most of the .exes associated with uolandscaper. I've attached that as uol_error1.png.
When I run UOMapMake.exe to generate the MULs, i'm also encountering problems. Shortly after starting the conversion a "Transition" message box appears and just lists a path and an ok button, not sure if this is an error or what, I've attached as uol_error2.png.
After I hit okay, it continues on with the process and then the next message box appears, uol_error3.png
I hit okay there and it finishes. I copy all the MULs to my folder to view in centred, and the coast is having quite some interesting difficulties lol. You can see in the one screenshot the transitions from forest to grass is fine though. I have tried version 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 & 1.5 of UOLandscaper and the problem persists.
The BMP files for terrain and altitude are both indexed with the correct color tables & 8 bit. I have tried quite a few methods of different Z to resolve the coast/shallowwater, but no luck. I'm doing -5 water for the ocean, and tried the grass on 5 and 10.
Any help is appreciated. I have had no luck with getting dragon to work properly, so I decided to try uolandscaper. dragon does the terrain properly, but not the statics. I may have to use the map.mul from dragon, and the statics from uolandscaper, but it will be a headache to maintain and sync 3 different bmp files then lol.
thank you!
I was able to resolve the issue of the map not displaying correctly. I had the wrong format on centred
. I forgot I was changing them all around for testing with dragon, so I put at the correct format and it showed properly. As you can see though, there's a problem with it not adding in some of the shallow water, but I can live with that lol. I'll have to fix that in centred.
I was then able to pack them back to uop format and use with the latest client and servuo without any problems.
I still would like to resolve the previous errors/messages in the post above though! Hopefully I can iron everything out.
I think we can benefit from an up to date how-to/tutorial on this, along with a youtube video (I think one doesn't exist for uolandscaper).
