In this thread I will post my work-status, to keep you informed.

I'm able to create a full Tile Set of the the Highland terrain and the Urban terrain. I will start with the Highland. Now I know how the developers of KKnD: Krossfire implemented the graphics into the editor and on the map.

You can expect two new Tile Sets in quality of the 'Desert.kp'. That means the Tile Set I'm creating supports transparency. Furthermore I will complete the Desert - Tile Set, because some Tiles aren't implemented for example tunnels, the plane wreck and some other stuff...

It would be great, if you could report me other missing tiles of the 'Desert.kp', so I don't need to search them on my own.

Today I finished all Floor-Tiles and the "brown-ground"-objects like the great bone structure. But take a look on your own:

Today I have THREE Screenshots for you!
Everything fits together; cracks, lava and the lovely roads on the green highland.
They are all finish now and working fine:

Take a look!

The reason for why Im not posting regulary is that I'm working on the cliffs and this is the most difficult part, specially the water-cliffs. The cliff in procent is 85-90% I think, because when the water-cliffs are finished then I can reproduce my work on the other levels (normal terrain and brown terrain).

is that the try to fix the fact that you can only create desert-maps?

greetings

yes it is, now i read it more exact. very good work!

But:
This editor istn finished yet, because it has some errors. It's hard work to create a working .kp file for this new enhanced editor. The .kp the standard editor of melbourne house creates also a .kp data, but its not compatible with the new enhanced editor from firefly3233.

I'm finish with the Highland-Tileset soon! (95%)
I will release some more diary entries, when I get some freetime. ^^

With the release of the Highland Tileset, a completed Desert-Tileset AND firefly's enhanced editor the KKnD-Community will be able to create NEW MAPS ON XP (Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Patroul-points, special AI-modifications and much more...

Let me tell you, how difficult it was to make the .kp file:

The tiles were not the problem. When I tried to compile a .kp file on my second pc (with windows me) with the old kme.exe and to load it in the new enhanced editor from firefly on my first pc (with windows xp) the program said something like: "Wrong .kp file format!"
There was no way to fix it.
After a few hours I got it to create a blank map with my new tileset (about 380 Tiles) on the old kme. Often it crashed. Then I placed every of the 380 Tiles on the map and exported it. The enhanced kme from firefly is able to import existing, compiled maps (.lpc-format).

My plan:
- place all tiles on a map
- export it
- load it in the enhanced editor from firefly
- mark all tiles again
- save it as a new .kp file of the enhanced kme

But obviously the technique of the 21st doesnt want that I complete my work. ^^ The map was only displayed on the minimap in the editor and not on the main screen. There was a kind of blindness. I needed my second pc to orientate. Finally after 5 or 6 hours I got it. :-)

I have my first Highland.kp!

If you want me to post the new Highland Tileset on this website, please drop me an email (as you have done before).

I am really happy to see such cool improvements to the mission editing. New KME, new tilesets = exciting new missions!
