[WIP] Silkroad Map Viewer

[perrytje]

So, I've been having too much time on my hands due to being graduated and having holidays, so I've been looking into the silkroad map formats. I got a great amount of help from ni's blog () trying to crack this, and also Synx gave me some useful info. So once I figured out the main layout of the files I set to coding with this map viewer as result.

(read the install manual)

All it does at the moment is just load maps, but I'm planning on turning this into a fully functional map editor, which I'm sure pserver owners would love to get their hands on, maybe I'll sell it and make some money, not sure yet :].

For now you can enjoy this application that (just) views the maps.

How to Install:
Put the .exe and 2 .dll's in a directory in which you have a fully extracted Data directory (get it from the pk2 with an extractor) and a fully extracted Map directory. Once you've extracted those 2 directories you will have to use the dds/ddj converter to convert all the .ddj files in Data\prim\mtrl\* and all .ddj files in Map\tile2d.

Once you've done this the directory should look like this: SroMapViewer.exe, the 2 dll's, Map and Data.

Open up the exe and look in the map files. The folders with numbers are the Y section, and the numbers of the files in there represent the X sections. Center jangan would be Map\97\168.o2.

You can pan around by holding the right mouse button and dragging (be careful it's a bit derpy). Zoom in and out with your mousewheel.

Long time no speak man wanted to contact you while coding this, but Nezekan sux I figured (almost) everything out myself though! Your blog really helped xD

that happens way too much. why has not he joined the irc himself, we will never know.

Really nice work perrytje I guess soon we can create our own content basically a custom silkroad, a question from me are those map files from 0 to 56 different because they don't have the .o2 extension.

[perrytje]

the .o format is basically an older version of the .o2 format. Almost every map has an .o2 now, but apparently not the ones you pointed out. I don't know what those maps are, I'll have to look into it later.

this could change sro completely(custom edition ftw)
keep going

good job,but as an advice : obfuscate your code :|

I haven't released the source, they would have to reverse it or decompile it somehow. If you can manage to do that it doesnt matter if I obfuscated it or not, they will figure it out.

decompiling a .NET application is not hard its just too simple,if you obfuscate your application it would be a bit harder to understand the code,also after deobfuscating (which is not hard also) it will be hard to read the code... my advice is to use smart assembly at least
