OT GTL Tile Editor v2.0

Featured Replies

Hi everyone. Merry Xmas to you all!I've just uploaded v2.0 of my Outer Terrain GTL Tile Editor, which should be available in the Avsim library shortly. OpenOffice format only I'm afraid. You can download OpenOffice for free from www.openoffice.org if needs be.This version add the ability to load terrain elevation, which is useful because the original rules-based method of modifying the OT is based on altitude constraints. Also, the GTL Map has been extended to include Andre's 164-tile extension to the north and a search facility has been added to allow you to identify specific tiles based on FU3 world co-ordinates, which can be obtained from Fled. The ReadMe file in the zip file provides more information.I've also changed the editor's default zoom level to 100%. For reasons I can no longer remember this was fixed at 25% in the original version. So, it's now possible to zoom right out and view an entire tile 'at once', which wasn't possible in the original version.***Help Required***I developed this editor on a machine running XP. In order for the editor to work correctly when saving changes to tiles it has to delete the original tile and recreate it from scratch. There's a very good reason for this but I won't bore you with the specifics. Anyway, it occurred to me that this could be a problem on machines running Vista, given that Vista asks for Admin rights for just about everything. Is there a Vista user who'd be willing to spend some time modifying, saving and loading tiles and reporting back with any errors or anomalies? Specifically, I'm looking for problems reloading tiles that have been edited and saved and any 'crash-to-desktop' issues in FU3 itself when flying over tiles that have been edited. I'm 99.99% sure that all is well but I'd appreciate some feedback if possible.Many thanks!Jonathan S.p.s. I'll be uploading a new version of my standalone GTL Grid Structure Map next week, which will include Andre's new OT area and the search facility mentioned above. This will be available in OpenOffice AND Excel versions.GTL editor showing terrain elevationheights.png
