frogtop 10 Posted September 10, 2012 Is it possible to extract a pbo and edit the terrain in visitor? For personal use only of course. I want to add a village or two in a user created terrain to create missions on, again for personal use only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 45 Posted September 10, 2012 Hi frogtop! Is it possible to extract a pbo and edit the terrain in visitor? Technically - yes, though it's a bit of a fuss... In simple terms, you'd need Mikero's "ConvertWrp"... then you'd need to - unpack the .pbo & secure the .wrp file - convert it to a .pew - do a full tools suite install to get Visitor up and running - add your buildings - save, rebinarize and test... Then - to play the mission, you and any MP buddies would all need that complete modified terrain + the mission you write... Asking permission from the original terrain-maker might get you "Source Files", which would skip the "convertWrp" stage.... Still a big fuss though... If it's just a few specific custom locations you want to make specially for a mission, then you should maybe consider the "3D Editor" route... You'll need a small .pbo - an "Editor Upgrade" - like this one... What this little guy does is basically make all those "terrain objects" - like houses, lampposts, trees, walls, fences, etc - available in the ordinary "in-Game" 2D (or 3D!) editor... You'll see them as "objects" and you can place them like any other mission asset - save the mission, and then - you're done! You and any other MP buddies will only need the mission, and the Editor Upgrade .pbo - the terrain itself remains physically unchanged..... Much less stress...

frogtop 10 Posted September 10, 2012 Thank you very much, I imagine I can't place roads if they're splines rather than physical objects in the editor but I'll give that a go and ask permission for source files if that doesn't work. Thank you. [ Turns out I can place roads.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
