Collision progress
28-01-2010
I've made some progress on the collision format. I can now read and view most of the collision data of WBD files and I can view some WBN files. It's still a bit buggy but here is a screen.
I will have a lot less time for Shadow-Mapper for a few months... I am going on a skitrip next week and my internship will start right after that.

A movie of a small map edit with Shadow Mapper. There are still a few bugs with the textures but I'll fix that really soon.
Shadow Mapper video on the way!
25-11-2009
It's been a while since my last post. That's because I don't have much to tell you guys (and I hope girls :P).
Did some stuff on Shadow Mapper, did some stuff for school, you know the usual. Pretty sure you're only interested in the Shadow Mapper part.. then you're lucky, I'll release a video this week where I add some of my own stuff to the game. Just be patience.
Happy Bday Shadow-Link.nl

Today it's been exactly one year after the launch of this website. If you thought this was a good year, you should keep your eyes on this website for next year, because it will only get better and better with more tools, more mods and more more. Next year will have a great start with some website updates, a new version of dff2wdr and ofcourse the release of Shadow Mapper. I hope you guys are just as excited as I am as IV Map modding is getting closer everyday.

Shadow Mapper
17-10-2009
GTA-Editor has a new name! It's called Shadow Mapper now. I would like to get some feedback from my readers so I created a topic @ gtaforums.com. You can find the topic here! So be nice and give me suggestions on how to improve this tool.
Latest additions of Shadow Mapper:
- Load the water.dat
- Move objects around and save them
- Improved interface
More updates will come soon!
Heh, I almost forgot this screen..
No news, just some words of wisdom..
21-09-2009
"You know, when you have a program that does something really cool, and you wrote it from scratch, and it took a significant part of your life, you grow fond of it. When it's finished, it feels like some kind of amorphous sculpture that you've created. It has an abstract shape in your head that's completely independent of its actual purpose. Elegant, simple, beautiful. Then, only a year later, after making dozens of pragmatic alterations to suit the people who use it, not only has your Venus- de-Milo lost both arms, she also has a giraffe's head sticking out of her chest and a cherubic penis that squirts colored water into a plastic bucket. The romance has become so painful that each day you struggle with an overwhelming urge to smash the fucking thing to pieces with a hammer." - Nick Foster ("Life as a programmer")
GTA-Editor for IV only
18-09-2009
GTA-Editor will lose the ability to load the III, VC and SA map. It's just to much work to implement it all. IV is the only GTA that really needs a map editor, by focusing on that game I can make sure that the program will contain less bugs and will be easier to use. It's still possible that it will be re-implented at a later stage, but I can't guarantee anything. I am sorry for the people that where looking forward for another III, VC, SA Map editor.
Little GTA-Edit update
08-09-2009
GTA-Edit is able to load WFT files now, it’s still in an early stage. Here is a screen to make you people happy.
I am still alive!
03-09-2009
It's been a while since I posted here. You are probably wondering what I've been upto lately (or not..).
Next release of DFF2WDR will come out soon, you've got to be patient for a little while.
I am also working on a new project. It's called GTA-Editor, at this stage it's only able to view all four 3D GTA's in 3D.
When I am finished with it you should be able to use it as an full Map, Water, Mission editor.
You're probably thinking, Screens or it didn't happen! So here you go ;)
Progress update
02-08-2009
Just got back from my holiday to Croatia! It was great. I've started on a new version of dff2wdr. This new version contains multiple shader support (Normal, Reflection and specular maps etc.). This version will also have dummie support, this will make it possible to convert weapons without problems. Keep an eye on this website so you won't miss dff2wdr 0.2!
