Make addon to the Guild 2. (The Guild 2)

The idea came by itself, why not try it? Vid to add to the game or to change fundamentally to have some sometimes, or even often. I'm certainly not a super programmer on this and decided to create this topic. As you may have guessed, or not quite... forced to ask for help. We will focus on maps. Yes, it is about them... I must say that the cards the game was not, and never will. But the cards can do. How "the hell" you ask. In the game there are files lying in a folder with the game The Guild 2\Worlds. The format of the file .wld . this is a card game.

Simply put the files with the extension wld yavlyayutsya text files in which to store all important information about the terrain and the location of the game objects such as buildings, roads, trees. When the game loads the map, it scans the file wld and arranges objects according to their location. Of course clever programmers came up with. In place of huge maps, which weigh very much to do in this place so that the card was one penny, but it could accommodate the whole world. File extension wld is a file with the metadata.
I must say that I fucking tried last year a bunch of different stuff. Even the editor of the Mount and Blade tried to redo it. Then something similar made from map editor heroes 5. Sorry for the screenshots not done. In General, managed to stuff almost all of the Guild 2 in heroes 5. So then heroes 5 was not working and the Guild did not. And the fact that I am editor Stronghold 3 is generally there everything is customizable in the xml. In General, I moved the Guild 2 over there. It seems like all the beam. But damn shmap resolution maps and other data are stored. In General, in the modified editor Stronghold 3 also cant come out.

I downloaded the map pack from the Germans. You can also try it is called TheGuildII-MappackEdition-ML-v_1_1_6. So there they are 3 cards made large and beautiful. A lot of space for construction. In General, if the Germans did. That means it is possible them somehow to do so. I don't know German so anyone can contact the author and ask.

So continuing the topic about the map I came up with a program called ArcGIS 9. It's three interrelated core applications: ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox. Their joint use allows to solve GIS tasks of any complexity in the field of mapping, data management, spatial analysis, data editing and geoprocessing. You can view these data and organize them in ArcCatalog to create metadata and to manage them, to search data sources according to their content. Creates a wld-file, or. prj file for the specified raster. Requires that you specify the location of the file on disk. There is the possibility of batch processing. That is work we are interested in the wld format, that is, to our maps of the Guild 2.

Here is the window of program ArcGIS 9 and requirements

Release year: 2009
Version: 9.3.1
Platform: Windows
Compatibility with Vista: complete
System requirements:
Intel Pentium 1.6 GHz no less
it is desirable to use Intel Xeon 5260 3333 MGz, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3000 MHz, Intel E8500 3166 MHz (recommendations by ESRI at the end of 2008) (higher frequency and higher index models does not always mean better performance)
RAM: 1 GB or larger when using large file data sources – 2-4 GB if installing on Windows Vista, add to that the requirements of 1 GB
Disk space: 2.4 GB
Requires 50 MB in the Windows System directory
(usually, C:\Windows\System32).
Windows Installer: 3.1
Monitor properties: 24 bit. The screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and above

I'm sure this program can access maps for the Guild 2. And if you open the can, then to create too. Who wants to try to open the card? Will be the first to make a map of their village or town. What if I do wrong then put it online for all to see.
