This WE is a version compiled directly by me which includes infinite fixes and features.
It's certain that you won't longer use the worldeditor_en!
To make it simple, I wrote all the details about this feature and the common WE inside the relative config file: (called WorldEditor.txt)
Code:
// I recently built a new worldeditor version with new features, so: Be a guinea pig of mine and test it all!
// Info: (v24)
// -) 100% translated
// -) granny2.9
// -) F6 as Insert alternative
// -) many default features not present inside the worldeditor_en (probably, that binary was taken out from an SVN long time ago and resource hacked) such as Ins for all regions and skyboxes
// -) WASD UPLEFTDOWNRIGHT to move around (+asynchronous diagonally movements)
// -) UP-LEFT-DOWN-RIGHT to move around*10 (+asynchronous diagonally movements)
// -) config file for few things
// Output options by default
// few others such as default WASD movement
// whether or not Insert should let you go where you were before the press
// no MAI dump when saving atlas
// whether or not DevIL should compress and remove alpha from minimap.dds
// whether or not loading .mdatr building heights
// default textureset when creating maps
// overlapped tabs
// other stuff
// -) few bugfixes
// default title app name
// attempting to write to an empty textureset name when creating new maps
// ViewRadius doubled every load&save
// shadowmap.dds creation
// assert when saving atlas
// crash when adjusting height
// many buffer under/overflows
// *.mdc collision data saving (for game_test)
// not checking output options when loading maps
// water brush waterid bug (the id was increased until 256 each time the function was called; now it's based on the water height just like it should be)
// init texture map reload map crash and last 2px always blank
// if pack/property exists, it'll be read! (note: if found, the local property/ directory will not be considered!)
// square shape even for up/down height brushes
// add textureset texture button (+multiselection)
// remove textureset texture feature (just selecting a texture from the list and pressing DELETE)
// creation of empty textureset with index -1 (changed to 0)
// change baseposition button
// misspelled stuff
// skybox bottom image (nb: you also need a fixed launcher for this)
// removed the boring CTRL requirement (to move the camera) when editing daylight/attr
// fixed refresh texture imagebox when onKey-pressing the down/up keys (like when onClicking them)
// fixed TextureSet file creation if not existing
// fixed new wolfman motion event handling
// -) created new TextureSet field when creating new maps
// -) created new Change/Delete Texture buttons when double-clicking a texture
// -) created Background Music playback and Shadow Recalculate buttons
// -) created water height "set 0z", "+1z", "-1z" buttons
// -) server_attr generator
// Note:
// 0) there are no regressions in this version! a bug here means it'd also be present in older WE versions too!
// 1) the shadow output option is tricky: when UpdateUI is called, shadows are hidden although the check is pressed (i implemented the shadow recalculate function for that) #fixed since v11
// 2) the bgm player requires /miles and the fadein/out doesn't work until you load the map
// 3) the adjusting height button works only if mdatr height is detected
// 4) the Debug version is laggy when working on maps such as n_flame_dungeon and n_ice_dungeon (by default, because SphereRadius are intensively checked in SphereLib\spherepack.h)
// 5) if you load a map, the script panels (where you load .msa et similia) will have the camera perspective a little fucked up (0z instead of -32767z or 0x 0y -163,94z)
// 6) few tree objects are not movable and/or highlightable after placed on the ground and their selection is invisible (you can still delete 'em)
// trick: draw a square selecting a normal building and 'em, then move the building and you'll see all of 'em will be moved!
// 7) the server_attr generator will clean all the unused flags! attr[idx]&=~0xFFFFFFF8;
// 8) you can read files from pack/Index 'n stuff but be aware that Property will not be considered! #fixed since v15
// 9) the MonsterAreaInfo features are laggy and buggy as fuck
// 10) even though you can select many textures at once (using ctrl+click on textureset list; for brushing or initializing a base texture), you can't delete more than one at the same time
// 11) the .mdatr height is tricky; if you move a building, the height will not be refreshed until you put a new building or whatever you want to trigger the update event
// 12) by default, the worldeditor tries to render only the first 8 terrain textures of a 32x32px region (nb: a 1x1 map is a 256x256 px region)
// 13) the minimap rendering cannot catch the buildings/trees inside the first 2x2 regions due a ymir cache fault and you need to set the camera to "see" them
// 14) when the textureset, environment, etc load fails, the old filename still remains loaded
// 15) the attr flag "3" (three) has no implementation, so don't use it!
// TODO:
// A) look at more than 8 textures for region -> DONE
// B) create a shortcut to fix the #5 note -> DONE
// C) disable the radius <= GetRadius()+0.0001f check to fix the #4 note -> REJECTED
// the worldeditor_en calls this assert and, if ignored, the lag ceases to exist (this will not occur in source version)
// at least, if the release version is not a problem for you, use that in those few cases when .mse are abused and try to kill the debug one
// D) translation in more languages other than english -> REJECTED
// english should be enough!
// E) alternative path for d: -> REJECTED
// you can mount d as a subpath of c like this:
// subst d: "c:\mt2stuff"

How To Map:
This release will not cover this part. Look at
to understand how to do it.About the ServerAttr Generator: (since v14)
This is a beta function but it should work fine.
I tested it on gm_guild_build (1x1), metin2_map_a1 (4x5), metin2_map_trent (2x2), metin2_n_snowm_01 (6x6) and the result was the same as the blackyuko map editor. (I use a different lzo version and I clean deprecated and useless flags, so the size is different from this last one but the "final image" will be the same; using game_test to fix his server_attr will let mine and his perfectly equal byte per byte)
I also give you the source code of my server_attr generator function.

A server_attr file is based on all the attr.atr files merged into a one raw RGBA image and each one scaled from 256x256 to 512x512.
After that, the image will be splitted into sectors of 128x128 px and each one compressed using lzo compression.
The server_attr header is composed by the size of the map*4. (e.g. a 4x4 will have a 16x16 size with 256 sectors inside) (gj ymir
)An uncompressed server_attr sector is just like this:
(the sub 4 byte header is the size returned by the LzoCompress which indicates how much the compressed sector data are large)Each attr.atr is just like this:
(the header is composed of 6 byte in total: 3 WORDs respectively for version, width and height; they are always 2634, 1, 1 so don't bother about it)A single attr.atr scaled from 256x256 to 512x512 will be just like this:

You can use the game_test (from source) to perform few tasks like:
- Create a server_attr from a .mcd file (I won't suggest it)
a <collision data filename> <map directory> - Regenerate an old server_attr to server_attr.new using the current lzo compression and cleaning useless flag

c <filename> - Other stuff such as b to create a character instance or q to quit
About the SkyBox Bottom pic fix: (since v21)
Both metin2launch.exe and worldeditor.exe should be edited to see the bottom pic of the skybox. Ymir messed up the code wrongly flipping the bottom image.
Open .\Srcs\Client\EterLib\SkyBox.cpp and replace
Code:
////// Face 5: BOTTOM v3QuadPoints[0] = D3DXVECTOR3(1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[1] = D3DXVECTOR3(1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[2] = D3DXVECTOR3(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[3] = D3DXVECTOR3(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
Code:
////// Face 5: BOTTOM v3QuadPoints[0] = D3DXVECTOR3(1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[1] = D3DXVECTOR3(1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[2] = D3DXVECTOR3(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f); v3QuadPoints[3] = D3DXVECTOR3(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
