Add Functionality to a Windows Form Image Converter Application
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
We have inherited a Windows Form application (with source code) that converts map files from an old computer game into image files (.bmp, .png, etc).
Maps in this game have three layers, which are drawn on top of each other this order:
1. Floor
2. Walls
3. Objects
I need this application to be able to output separate image files of each layer. I have already made modifications to allow the floor to be output separately.
The application can also output combined images of walls and objects; however we have had no luck making modifications to make each wall and object layer separate.
The application somehow knows which layer is which as it can output them combined in the correct drawing order, so this is probably an easy fix for an experienced programmer. (My guess is the modifications need to be made to the DAGraphics.cs file and then the GUI updated; but I am not certain.)
------------------------------------------
Included in the project files are:
1. The application source code (visual studio project)
2. Two .map files: lod136.map and lod500.map ; these are two map files you can use to test with the application
3. You will also need two.dat files: ia.dat and seo.dat. The individual graphics files for the maps are stored in these. The application will reference them. They are two large to post here so I have uploaded them elsewhere (40MB and 80MB):
a. www.novus-imperia.com/ia.dat
b. www.novus-imperia.com/seo.dat
------------------------------------------
Once you had added the required functionality you can submit the updated visual studio project back to me.
