[TOOL] Ground Effects CMD Tool (detail doodads, clutter)

[Steff]

It´s a CMD tool to set ground effects IDs for textures on a ADT.
You can also clear them by useing 0.

c++ Source included.

After using this tool you will have to use this tool here:

Important: I did make a mistake there. This assigns only the ids, not sets the mask on where to display them! Most likely this will not work correctly!

fully wrong work :
----

 I think something like this algorithm:

Check layer 0(Root layer):
Check layer 0 Detail ID

Full adt spawn



Check layer 1
Check Layer 1 DetailID

If the there is Minichunk  layer 1(for example layer 0 + layer 1), then replace Minichunk flag to layer1 detail doodad

Check layer 2
Check Layer 2 DetailID

If the there is Minichunk  layer 2, then replace Minichunk flag to layer 2 detail doodad


Check layer 3
Check Layer 3 DetailID

If the there is Minichunk  layer 3, then replace Minichunk flag to layer 3 detail doodad

Thus there is a replacement for Minichunk flag on the top layer. (regardless of how much to use minichunk this layer.)

Well there may be errors but I havent got them. Though i was using an existing adt and switching up textures and the doodads (half of a warcraft state actually) This combined with the ground doodad fixing tool, worked perfect for me.  Instead of a barren wasteland i now have a grassland, and combining both tools also did update the texture doodad. (as in i painted in some new paths etc and this plus the other tool put on the paths the doodads i wanted) As for an adt that didnt have previous doodads, no go, it didnt add them, but an easy work around would be to just use an existing and make it yours.

Dont know how you guys make these things but keep it up!

I'd like to ask, might it be possible to set 0 as -1 (in Hex value) instead of it having no effect at all ? Or is this not possible/not helping ?

EDIT: Okay, let me rephrase it. Does 0 equal -1 in the particular areas ?

[Eluo]

What? xD

If you assign the layer the ID 0, it actually sets the ID to 0(no gorundeffect doodad).
If you type in -1, it leaves the ID as it is. Meaning if the layer already has the GE ID 2437 then it will leave this ID assigned to the layer.
