Title: Creating a new WDL file.
Post by: Axis48 on August 15, 2017, 06:00:09 am

Hi! Kind of run into a jam, hoping there is someone who knows how to help!

Been making a new map, about the size of Northrend, and while much of the space is open ocean, it still occupies a large space! However, I am having an issue creating a new WDL file for the islands! the FuTA tool seems to 'crash' or at least lock up at about 66% every time no matter what I do and I'm not sure what my solution is going to be. Does anyone know how to make a WDL file for a larger map or have a tool that might work for it? Thanks.

You dont need a wdl for 335a and futas wdl output is bugged. It creates spiked heigh data so you get strange mountains in the distance. Just dont creat a WDL in the moment.

Perhaps Noggit QT will get an WDL autocreation function.

It is mostly for quality of life atm! Looking to try and make a map of the areas we've created and a height map would make it a breeze!

What is Noggit QT?

For future reference on whom runs in this thread: You can actually generate a working WDL file using Neo. The editor might have many issues, but if you can manage to not make it crash as you use it, it will create a satisfactory WDL file.
