<div class="IPBDescription">How to create these needed files ?</div>Hello everyone,

I searched for some answers around the forum but i can't find any, so i decided to create this topic.

At the point where actually my map is, i need to create these 2 files (.hmp and .tga) because the drifters and macs jump on top of some walls even if they walk around corners perfectly.

If I (as the commander) point clic the top of a wall , drifters or macs try to reach this point that normaly they can't; and in the console i can see errors like :

Couldn't open height map maps/overviews/name_of_map.hmp


and i can't create the top down view for the com : a .tga file that must be in the same directory than .hmp file (maps/overviews/)


So :

Is there a tool for creating these files that i can't find on my pc ?

or

is there actually no tools release yet for the alpha testers ?


Thanks for yours replies and my apologies for mistakes and wrong sentences because i'm not writing this topic in my native language =)


PS : commander's camera height values don't do anything at all
nor the entity minimap_extents

anyway ... they do probably something but they don't work without some heigh map referance.

    There is a tool which it would seem we have not yet released. I'll include that in the next patch.
