Actually I think it sucks that you can't import maps from biqs to bix or bic!

Make your own map tweaker.

Anyway, could you please give a new link for the Freeimage on the first page? It doesnt work any more.
thx

I want the freeimage.dll

Found a copy at http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html

 

[William GBTW]

Thanks I'll try it out!

 

[William GBTW]

But make sure that when you unzip it you manually copy and pasted the FreeImage.dll into the main folder.

I just used it sucessfully without a hitch up. Its great. Thanks Babalooey

Does this work with C3C (.biq files)?
Is there anything else i can use to crop a .biq map?

OK, I've been editing my Greek map, and It looks fine in the MapTweaker, but when I open it in the editor, it looks like this:

Spoiler :

Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem?

 

[Mirc]

Isn't it supposed to look like this?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Nope. Note: The Minimap (at the top), the terrain at the top, and the fact that if I use the fix mentioned at the beginning of the thread (brushing over terrain in the editor), everything I have added turns into Coast.

 

[Mirc]

Ah, so you tried to add or change existing terrain in Map Tweaker? Then I don't know, I've never done that. I do have to use that fix when resizing maps though.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Well, I figured a way around the problem: basically, you just use the Map Tweaker to enlarge .biq's, and to copy parts of one .biq to another. Then, you save and make any changes in the editor manually.

Also note: DELETE ALL STARTING LOCATIONS PRIOR TO COPY/PASTING. Otherwise, it will crash in the editor.

i got a bit of a prob... i keep getting "bicx tag not present at start of file"...

I'm having the same problem.

I just downloaded the program, the dll, net and everything. I'm hoping to tweak a map from Conquests, but every time I try to open one, the error pops up.

Am I missing something?

 

[Virote_Considon]

Go into the options in the editor, and uncheck "Compress .biq files". Then open the map and save.

 

[rifleman]

Awesome, Thanks!

I didn't realize the editor did that.
