Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

I have finally finished fiddling with Easthaven's clipping files, these once unzipped go into the Modules/ToEE/Maps/AR1000_Easthaven folder and overwrite the previous files.

In a lot of cases I've added each plank overhanging doorways so the gaps between the planks show the opening doors through them.

Next on my list is those Orcs in the cave, but that will have to wait for tomorrow.

Hey Al,

Here are the Kuldahar Pass maps, everything except the main map itself which it sounds like you are working on. Also included is the Tempus Temple from Easthaven for the arch issue I mentioned previously.

I'll get onto the Kuldahar main map and then can start on the Kuldahar dlg files.

EDIT: Forgot the jumppoint.tab, dagnabit! Will send that over tomorrow.

2nd EDIT: Forgot the waypoints, too, but they are all small maps - shouldn't be an issue.

 

Thanks Ted,

I believe I have all of Kuldahar Pass and the main map for Kuldahar itself working properly now, I'll add these files, check they all work and upload the module again to my Onedrive.

EDIT: Didn't manage any modding today, I was trying to make a new wi-fi printer accessable as a network printer for our 3 desktop pc's, and the laptop, and Homegroup was having some issues - none of them seemed to be able to provide the home group password.

On the up side, I also bought, downloaded and installed IWD 2, which (from taking a sneak peek at the maps folder) can provide us with the artwork for random encounter maps with a little effort.

 

Here's the jumppoint.tab, the maps should connect up a little now

Are there any IE modders or interested folks who can post a picture of the main map screen? Or, preferably 2 pictures, one with all areas shown, one without? Highest res possible too

 

OK, something screwy is going on, I think our files are out of sync Ted. I added your files and once I left the inn in Easthaven, the main Easthaven map had no doors etc... I think I swapped the 'moathouse exterior' for the 'moathouse tower' at some point to prevent Easthaven from inadvertently gaining world map access. I think it's gonna take me a little while to figure this out and get the maps working as they should.

 

Ooooo.... well, the culprit will be maplist.mes, get the previous one off your cloud drive thing and just change these lines:
{5031}{AR2002_KP_Beetle_Cave, 475, 437, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER} // map1-int12-strapping-farmer
{5032}{AR2001_KP_north, 492, 455, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER, Flag: OUTDOOR} // map1-int14-teamster
{5033}{AR2003_KP_Gheregs_Tower, 483, 492, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER} // map1-int15-Moneychanger
{5034}{AR2004_KP_Uligars_Main, 466, 396, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER} // map1-int16-cabinet-maker
{5035}{AR2005_KP_Uligars_Lower, 463, 401, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER} // map1-int16-cabinet-maker-upstairs
{5036}{AR2006_KP_Uligars_Mill, 469, 406, Flag: DAYNIGHT_XFER} // map1-int17-potter

Otherwise I used the ground.mes you included with the maps and the jumppoint.tab is from the previous release, so hopefully no more clashes.

 

Thanks mate, I'll try and get it all working again tomorrow. Incidentally, Gabriel has provided a couple of maps for one of the later tombs in the vale of shadows, but that's a way down the line for now.

 

Is that the Vale of Shadows next to Kuldahar? Somewhere to fight won't hurt to get ready in advance, this is mainly a fighting game as far as I can tell.

 

Yes mate, the area just to the East of the town - where there be Yeti's.

I'm still having trouble with those maps... tried opening up the maps in World Ed, but I only get a little clipping off the top left corner on some maps, and nothing else... I'm obviously doing something wrong - or maps weren't meant to be copy/pasted into the top left corner of recombined maps and then split again.

EDIT: Ghah, it's me being a plum - Num Lock wasn't on for some reason

EDIT 2: I've managed to get the Kuldahar map in game now, but there seems to have been a problem splitting the night map, the night map loads, but the squares don't line up and looks awful, and I can't find the documentation explaining how the splitter tool for WB works.

 

That's just peculiar - I did the KotB maps in the BOTTOM left, the proper way

If you want to send the Kuldahar maps over I can have a crack at splitting them (shiningted@yahoo.com).

 

Thanks Ineth, I don't own PoE, but I have BG and IWD 2, those maps are definitely worth using at least in part for random encounter maps, I'll work on them, and the other maps i'm having issues with tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the worldmap stuff @ineth, just what I needed! I should be able to put the world map and buttons together from this, but I can't do the pathing dots ToEE uses.

 

Managed to get Kuldahar pass working, I'd screwed up the map.php file somehow, so I've started sectoring that map now.

Do the different height levels actually do something other than just making the map look like a rainbow in World Ed? Advantages in combat perhaps?

I've also added the water mill wheel from hommlet to the mill there, though I may need to reduce it's size as its bigger than the one on the map - also I can't remember of that object is animated or not... It shouldn't be, that river is frozen over.

I'm still having trouble splitting the kuldahar night map though.
