dvxi4 terrain. unfortunately the game scaling differences spread the terrain out just a bit. still looks good though.

When i converted the terrains for the TIOCoop Mod i did every terrain from every game to suit BHD. DFX2, DFX, JOE, JOTR, BHD, BHDTS, DFLW, DFTFD, C4, DF2, AF

Lot of work but when you get in the rhythm of it, it's not to bad.

yeah. i was never able to get decrypted color maps for jo, but i thought, the color map is the same in the med, so why not just screenshot the med and paint out the lines at the pixel level. worked like a charm. then i used L3DT and ran the heightmaps through to get the texture maps with shadows on them and did overlays with the color maps and texture maps and they came out great.

Well the tool I made needed a specific version of JO since it patched the binary real time. If that is the the tool you are talking about.

I am really not sure. I also just looked at the source code for that tool and it does not say also. I do know that this was around the time that I got tour novalogic's offices and they gave me a copy of JO and DFX so it would be around that time.

from the readme:

BFC1 Dumper:
This is not a self contained program it requires JO version 1.2.0.10 to work.
This is a loader so you need to place the exe and the DLL into the same folder as the game.
Then you have to run it by the exe that is in the zip.
It will dump all image base compressed files in the map you load. DDS, MDT, TGA, ECT.
It will dump it to C:\TGADumps

This also includes the Color Maps and the tiles that the med can use


the raw dumper did create the folder, but nothing else.

for it to dump you have to load into a map not just run the game.

i did. went into the game and even used both ways to close the game (esc and quit command).

it has to be the game version. i know most people have moved on in gaming, but if it could be updated to run in the versions available, that would be cool.
