[WIP] Silkroad Map Viewer

[PortalDark]

btw, why dont you make this tool work directly with pk2
it could help some may not want to extract entire data/map pk2s

reading PK2 in c# is a bit slow,it takes ~8 seconds to open the PK2,atleast on my stupid pc xD

I did the next steps too, already finished my own map editor.

 Spoiler

About the reading directly from the pk2: The argument that reading from pk2 is slow isn't valid, since extracting the entire thing takes longer. I'm just too lazy to figure out how to read directly from the pk2, when this method works just as well. The other thing is that this makes it way easier to copy files for backups or stuff like that, while that's harder when reading directly from the pk2 files.

Amazing amazing will it be possible to delete objects or just to add new one at the moment,
Ah and would be there a way that it reads .ddj because converting to .dds takes a bit time not a big problem but would be more comfortable.

I can delete objects already, I'll have a look at converting the .ddj's shouldn't be that hard.

well,converting a .ddj to .dds is pretty easy..
you just open the .ddj file with a hex editor,delete the first 20 bytes of the file,then you save it as .dds

Thats why I said it wouldn't be hard.

Also the objects on the map are linked by an id that refers to a file which links the bsrs to the ID's. I was afraid that would give problems, but it turns out that it's pretty easy to just add a new id to that file and add it to the map.

finished..?

just askin.. you mean a real "3D Programm" where you just press a object like a "house" and you can put it at a random place on the map(x,y) and save it?
