[wouanagaine]

You know, I would have bet that the SC4LotInfosGenerator would get a small audience, and now after seeing comments here and at ST, I think that I lost my bet

Thank you for all the wonderful tools that help so much. But whats this SC4LotInfosGenerator that people are talking about - i vcant find it here or at ST. Could you help please.

[wouanagaine]

the download link of SC4LotInfoGenerator can be found on the first post of NHP Tools suite thread at ST ( you need the patch also in same place )

The presentation of the tool is one the third post of that thread, and as everyone seems to get such a 'hype' on it, the rest of thread is a discussion on suggestions and how to enhance it as I really never expecting such interest in it.

The SC4LotInfoGenerator will scan your plugins folder and will generate an html / xml with containing information about all your custom growables lots you have.

you can see small output of the first version here

btw freedo50 I have replied to you at ST

I will be adding documentation for a feature that is useful if you cant get hold of the latest photoshop or annother program that can edit 16 bit greyscale images. It creates a pseudo 16 bit depth by using three 8 bit channels to encode elevation data. It was developed intially about 3 months ago and thanks must go to Wounagaine who included it in SCTF 1.1 and SC4Mapper.

Without it myself and mallow would probably still be doing 8 bit maps. Most new NHP maps will be 16 bit due to the resolution of the data we are using.

It has already been tested on Mt Kaputar and Mount Everest and all of mallows maps that were uploaded in the last 3 months as far as I am aware. Mallow and myself are developing techniques for working in the RGB scale so that the coastlines etc will still be accurate.
