Heightmap to KAG map (HtK)

​

​

Hello everyone :)

I'm here with a new tool I made for KAG mappers.
It converts heightmaps to .png images that can be used for further map development.
Some of you remember I made something similar some time ago, but it was buggy and had a bad GUI, so I'm releasing a better version that is entirely re-coded.

Updated to v1.2
Added option to generate trees! :)
Example map:

The new GUI and a test with a big (640 width) map.

Includes:
-The program
-Five example heightmaps
-A help file
-The source! (Game Maker .gmk file)

If you see any bugs and/or have suggestions, feel free to post them here! ;)

 

Hey it sounds nice :)
It would be nice also if you was recoding to help me for APA, because I am too lazy to do it alone :>
Also, it would be nice if you give me the code then I can include it in APA :p
Edit : Oh, wait, there is the Gmk here :>

 

i dare ask what are height maps? and how are they generated?
i know i could search but then everyone will have too, and if i post what they are (after searching) i would look ...

 

It detects the brightness of each pixels on a horizontal line. Then, for example, brightess 5% will be 5% of map.. Etc.

 

New version (1.2) released!
Added an option to generate trees! :D
When you turn the option on you can choose the max. and min. height of the trees and the chance of tree spawning. (0% to 100%)
I also added another heightmap.

I might add a bedrock layer generate option later :3

Oh, and when you create a map using this tool, can you post it here too please? :)
