Posts from Maptool + Converting maps from WOG to SOD.

Recently, there have been issues on the forum with converting maps from WoG to SoD. Therefore, I am posting a special program – Maptool.
Here are the steps for converting maps:
1) Move the files from the archive to the C:\Maptool directory.
2) Run H3MapTool.exe.
3) Click File -> Open, then select the map (WoG objects should be removed from the map beforehand, and the path to it should consist only of Latin characters).
4) Switch the checkbox from WoG to SoD.
5) Click File -> Save.

Here are the steps for creating terrain in the form of an image:
1) Move the files from the archive to the C:\Maptool directory.
2) Run H3MapTool.exe.
3) Click File -> Open, then select an empty map (the path to it should consist only of Latin characters).
4) Click Import and select the graphic file (the path to the graphic file should consist only of Latin characters). An image size larger than 144x144 pixels is not recommended.
5) You will be prompted to choose a filter. Try all three options.
6) Click File -> Save.

Good luck with converting maps.

Thanks for sharing the program with everyone. And can this program be used to create a map that is as beautiful as the one that was used in the blitz tournament?

Thank you for sharing the program with everyone.

Yes, it can be used to create a terrain from an image. To do this, select import in the running program and specify the path to the image.

If everything works, then thank you very much, Ataman! This issue is really very important.

Thank you very much, esteemed Ataman!
Now this topic has the status of being particularly important; moreover, in the first post of the topic for the best map of 2007, a link to this topic has appeared!

HA is truly an amazing program; everyone should download this theme. Respect to Ataman.

Guys, can anyone tell me how to place an image (directly on the map in the editor) in the center of the map?

Guys, can anyone tell me: how do you make an image (in the scenario itself, in the editor) in the middle of the map?

It's not that simple, you'll have to find a workaround:)
For example, create the image and place it in the center of an image the size of the map you need. Then, create a map where the image is only in the center, and the rest is empty territory, which you'll have to edit in the editor.

It doesn't seem to be working.
Hey, is it compatible with Vista?

Or is it for XP?????????????????????????

It's for Windows XP, although I haven't tried running it on Vista. You need to delete all Heroes of Might and Magic objects beforehand and save it as a SOD file. Or, follow the template – load images of corresponding sizes, such as 36*36 for Small and 144*144 for Extra Large.

Thank you so much! Now I can finish my campaign!
