TOOL Object placer

[shak_otay]

I'm coding a tool based on the infos from this thread [Modding Tutorial 0.1 - Part 2: Placing creatures and other objects by hex edit!] by youngneil1 but it seems the interest in TwoWorlds2 has slowed down despite the release of the velvet edition?

The Object placer for TwoWorlds II maps is based on the infos in the thread
"Modding Tutorial 0.1 - Part 2: Placing creatures and other objects by hex edit!" by youngneil1.

So the credits and many thx go to him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having more than 700 maps I only had the time to test a few of them.
So don't blame me if most of them will crash this early beta...

maps that seem to work (not heavily tested!)

Map_1_f08_1.lnd
Map_1_f03.lnd
Map_3_a03_2.lnd
Map_6_a01.lnd

Map_1_g03.lnd will crash the tool.
(Should work with
SKIPMARKERS=1 in ObjPlacer.ini)

How to spawn a new ghoul in the cellar of the starting castle:

• File open map_1_f08_1.lnd
• Entities existing
• upper combo box (select GHOUL_01)
• press button New
• in the lefthand combo select the GHOUL

(Data will be transferred into the edit boxes)

• change x,y,z to 2600.0 2777.0 125.0
• Then press the buttons 'apply' and 'close'
  (back in main window)
• File save

When you load the newly created _Map...
the shak_log.txt should contain an additional entry:

1831. GHOUL_01 2596.000000 2757.000000 125.000000 1.000000
DE 07 00 00

If so you are ready to pack the _Map_1_f08_1.lnd into a *.wd file
with the TW2WDTool (by HeliX666).

But remove the preceding underscore first !

copy the *.wd to the WDFiles folder of your TW2 installation dir.

start a new game

in the console window enter
twoworldscheats
display.show 1

Some numbers will appear on top of the screen.

Hold the shift key and move until the coordinates match the ones
you applied to your ghoul.

Can't post a link here before my 3rd post.
Meanwhile you might get the tool from Topware's TW2 forum.
