looking for a tool

I'm looking for a tool that can generate a heightmap from a wdl file.

heightmap is a tga file colored black and white showing the height of the terrain using the dark to light colors.

wdl file is used is World of Warcraft as the terrain.

I really could use a tool to generate a heightmap from the wdl file.

I guess noone here knows about WOW file formats.
Maybe you can find help on a WOW dedicated site. As soon as you got file format specifications the rest should be easy to code.

I'd code it myself but sadly I don't know C++

I'll try to find any info on wdl if I can.

any ideas where to look?

Learning C++ is only for crazy people that need to code their own 3d engine or whatnot. Learn Python if you just want to "make something", its a much easier and more powerful language.

Usually heightmaps is used with 3d engines.

hmm... try this:

Making a 3d engine and making a utility that reads and manipulates a heightmap is two completely and utterly uncomparably different things.

Jacek, That program doesn't give info on the wdl file type from WoW, its to read MPQ for models and icons

This is not a WoW forum. If you want to take data from WoW to be used in Wc3, so be it, but I suggest you ask on a WoW forum.
