Status: offline 		Woohoo! Better late than never Ok folks, Mountainiser is now ready for final testing. It's fully functional, semi-extensively tested, packed to the gills with lotsa features, highly polished, and here. Mountainiser has been grouped with a few other tools into one big, super utility called SD Quickies. Some of the things you can do with this are:
  • make secondary roads really bad
  • raise mountains
  • add and remove mud
  • make rough terrain really rough
  • add and remove smoke
  • make swamps really nasty
  • add and remove trees
  • change tree types and make them difficult and/or dangerous[/list]See? Lotsa features! Even better, virtually everything has options.
    This is the final testing period for this bunch of tools. In about a week, I'll be releasing the final version of this, and stopping development in favour of other projects. So you only have a week to report bugs and have a chance of me fixing them. Should bugs be found after this deadline, all will not be lost, as I'll be releasing the source code (Delphi) at the same time, so some other brave programmer could fix them. For those of you wondering why I'm stopping work on this, it's because I want to shift my attention to the next big thing, Terraformer. This will do everything Mountainiser and the other Quickies can do, and much, much more. It will be a much more worthwhile program to build
    Well, it's nearly 5:00 am here, and there's not much left to add, except:
    Download this: http://image2.ectopia.net/spwaw/SDQuickies-beta2.zip and use it as mush as possible over the next week, and report those bugs! Playtime is over. Sleeptime is now.

Status: offline 		Thanks ectizen for all your effort! Between Matrix
and highly motivated people like yourself,it intesifies the SPWAW experience. Would this program also work with steel panthers III ?
or failing that would it be to much trouble for you to make it work with steel Panthers III ?

Great job. Mountainzer works great. The Swamp and Rough Terrain enhancers work great. The Tree surgeon works Great. I can't seem to get any results from the Smoke Generator part. I can't wait to see Terraformer.

As I don't have SP3, I couldn't say. Perhaps if you mail me a small SP3 map, I can take a look. It all depends on how much the map file format changed between SP3 and SP:WaW...

The smoke doesn't show in the editor. Did you try playing the resulting map?

What's the deal?
Thanks, guys.

Buy a few units for each side and make a scenario out of it. Save and then open the Scenario. Instant smoke and fog.

Status: offline 		..ectizen probably was too lazy to also place the smoke tiles on the newly generated map.
Actually SPWAW game engine takes the smoke values from the map data and generates the graphic on the fly once you´re in the game phase. Tip: Generate the smoke on scenario and not map file. Task switch between "SDQ smokemachine" and SPWAW to see results of "smoked" map faster. (=Process and save scenario with SDQ and start 1st turn of "smoked" scenario in SPWAW) If final version of SDQ is out, I probably will write some tutorial for all modules. (..unless someone else wants to do it! ) ____________
