For Terrain.act file (Map gradient):

Act-To-Tga

Code:

"D:\Programs\ImageMagick\convert.exe" -depth 8 -size 256x1 rgb:Terrain.act Terrain.tga

Tga-To-Act

Code:

"D:\Programs\ImageMagick\convert.exe" -depth 8 -size 256x1 Terrain.tga rgb:Terrain.act

Know, that first 48 colors are for the water, the next 208 for the land.

Tycho, would you have some tricks about Silent 3 Editor ? For example, i can't copy or cut, and then paste a specific node to change its location in the file, or to copy it several times ... I've heard about a hex editor to use, but have no idea about that ...

Spend the money and get 010 Hex editor if you want major power.
I'll list what that program has done for SH Versions.

It was the main tool to create the SH5 editor by TDW.
It's the Tool I used to break the animations used in SH4.
(Yes. I can do animations in true SH4 format now)
It also allows better animations in SH3 once you learn how to use it.

One problem with S3D?
It stopped people from really learning how to do things as everyone accepted the limitations.

There's maybe 2 or 3 people left here that can do things in Hex.
My Friend Alex is probably the best I've ever seen work from.
A true Master that should have a SubSim Award.

Not sure that I understood exactly, but:

For copy with all children use Shift+Ctrl+C
For cut with all children use Shift+Ctrl+X

Looks great, does the map in game now also have that color scheme?
