I just wanted to let you guys know there is a new beta (8.5) of my map editor that can open and convert TFT maps into W3M

format. It's been a long time since I last updated my editor and I'd like to apologize: I'm really really busy with many many

things in my private life that made me unable to work on my tool. I suggest you have a look to W3ZMapEditB85.txt that

comes with the new beta.
As you probably guessed, it's a little/quick update that just allows you to open TFT maps decently.
I'm aware everything still need improvements.

The exact words of Zepir himself. Can't wait to see this thing finished.

Dont spam in a news thread please. If your gonna say something, please, make it more than 10 words.

And heres some things that could only be done in zepirs editor that are now available for tft maps:
-Cliff set changes
-Unchangable tileset changes

If you find more features, post em up here. I couldnt remember them all.

I fogot to mention that the "cave" bug was fixed. In previous version my editor didn't save cave doodads (because they're saved a different way than other doodads) and now they are saved correctly.
Bugs about loading screen with TFT have been reported.

Hmm, so if I understand correctly people who don't own FT will be able to play FT maps :bgrun:

Well almost. The thing is that such converted maps uses the new tilesets, units, and other new stuff which are not in the old version. What my editor does is just convert the format so it'll be "readable" on the old War3 but the mapper will have to change the tilesets, the units and such in order to have it working with the olde stuff. The simpliest thing I guess, is to change the main tileset on my editor, save the new map, extract the W3E and put it in another map of the same size made with the old world editor.
If one knows enought stuff, he/she can also try to convert doodads or keep the new tilesets and add the requiered blps and slk to the map so it'll work.
As you see, it's not "that" simple but it "is" possible.

Electromancer, why do you announce a new sub-beta version (beta 0.85) on the front page? The front page is a good place to make things public, but I would not announce such small updates.
