Bloodpass Warband Map Editor

[kmwright5]

Is there seriously not a camera rotate button? Please tell me I'm overlooking something. If there isn't camera rotate then this mod is pointless. However thanks for making this! Hopefully it will be helpful soon.

I'm brand new to modding Warband. I know this forum might be dead, but will this editor work on Windows 10? If not, are there alternatives that will?

You can still work with thorgrim's map editor.

how can i make mountains? is that a release feature?

I can paint mountain terrain but it remains flat

 

[Sir_Captain_Lord]

Awesome map editor! I love it and its so much better than Thorgrims! Please keep it going, it really helps me with all the modding that I do. Thanks again

 

[Wreigir]

In some mods you can actually do this. In Diplomacy NEWEST test version you can "attach"  "Detach" parties like lords, villages, towns. But this is much easier.

Hello, I don't know where to put all these files; when I run the .bat file it says Java is not recognised? Any ideas?

 

[LAST_ACTION_HERO]

Is there a way to make this Fantastic Editor working for " Viking Conquest " because I like it way better then Thorgrim and had fun making a map for native in Bloodpass.

Will there be a update to the Editor?

I am aware this Topic had no post in 182 days... so will try to reanimate the Dead


Thanks for any reply 

Hello, I don't know where to put all these files; when I run the .bat file it says Java is not recognised? Any ideas?

Just unzip it into a folder you can name it Bloodpass then place the " map.txt " and the " module_parties.py " into the folder that way the Editor will find the right map and also the right file when you move the Citys around. dont forget to put the module_parties.py back into you folder in you mod where you stored the other python files like just copy it over before compiling it should work fine then. Hope it helps

It should look like this:

Hope it helped you, sorry you did not get a answer earlier.

Actually I'm working on bringing it back now with a big update... 

For the Java not recognized issue above, you need to install Java. Surprised I don't seem to have mentioned that anywhere. Don't install any browser plug-ins or whatever optionals if it prompts for that, no need.

Search for "Java Runtime Environment" if/when this link breaks. The version at "java.com" may work too but I haven't tested it (and that site looks embarrassingly bad).

For most people (Windows 64 bit) this is the file you want.

Almost done with major update but will need help testing...

Monster update up.

Anyone still alive here, check the repo.   

I'll update the forum post later. Not tested on Windows yet - someone let me know how it does!

Good. It is tested on GNU/Linux?
Which version of Java is needed?

I tried this editor on Windows 10.
Not everything works well... No GUI controls... I can't maximize editor's window...

I used OpenJDK 9.0.4

 

[bloodpass]

I was going to suggest going into config.ini and reducing the width/height a bit so the left doesn't get cut off, but the top bar isn't there either! First guess is that maybe the UI framework doesn't like Java 9? The other is that maybe it's a Windows issue with loading assets (but it found everything else fine..) Looking into what could be going on.

Maximizing and changing window size post-startup aren't really supported, but you should be able to experiment to size things better with config.ini.
Java version needed is a recent version of 8 - info on that is on the MB repo post. I've only tested on Linux Mint so far.

If you want to try Linux, run this on a command line:
java -jar Bloodpass.jar

(You'll need Java installed obviously.)

Did you have a debug.log?

 

[bloodpass]

It's not Java 9, OpenJDK 9.0.4 works here (at least w/Linux). But I do think it's your resolution. Try making config.ini width/height 1200/900 or something similar. I just reproduced that "missing UI" issue with a lower res Windows PC and making the window smaller fixed it. I'll do an update with a more conservative default window size I guess...

Edit:
Post updated and I managed to sneak in window resizing/maximization for "Beta 2". 
I guess this forum isn't frequented much these days, but let me know about any success (or failure) stories.

 

[DerGreif]

This looks really interesting. So far I have worked with Sculptris/Blender for topology and texture painting and Swyter's cartographer for party positioning. But your program would give a much better you see what you get feeling, which would really help me. I will try it out. Thank you for all your effort! Warband Modding is not dead yet

Good. It works fine. 
I like it.

But I think, the following features are missing, but they are necessary for good map editor:
1) Setting the height of the territory by the height map
2) Setting the terrain type (water, plain, forest and etc...) of the territory by the terrain (colored) map
3) Good camera rotation (by mouse movement, turning)

 

[bloodpass]

1 - Height of territory - you can use the "level terrain" mode (set whatever altitude you want using the buttons) to "paint" the height you want. It's not a huge area and it works on vertices (triangle corners) near the mouse cursor, so it doesn't feel like a traditional editor, but it should get the job done for leveling small or mid sized areas. This is where that "volcano" in the screencaps came from. If you mean to do an adjustment of the height of the entire map uniformly, I thought about that and it wouldn't be hard, but it didn't seem so useful.

2 - Not sure what you mean by this - Paint Terrain mode does let you change terrain type. It'll work on all view modes, but I recommend using Non-Blended Terrain mode because it's easier to see what you're really doing. If you still want to paint terrain with normal textures, you can do that by clicking M&B Imitation at the top of the screen to toggle rendering modes. Those three circles up there are radio buttons. Just realized they don't give a good mouse-over cursor when you hover over them...
The automatic view mode switch is just default behavior I guessed would be useful (but maybe not).

3 - Camera rotation is a little tricky to do well, but I'll probably look into it eventually.

BTW - Anyone know if there's plans for a campaign map editor for M&B II? It looks like they've listed tools for pretty much everything but that, unless the scene editor covers it (I would think that is for battle mode scenes/maps).

No, you do not understand me.
I have a black and white map of heights. Let it be called height.bmp. I want to use this texture to set the altitude immediately on the whole map. Similarly, I want to do for the type of territory.
