Geomod Tool for Mapping
Hello everyone. I'm glad to tell you that a tool has been recently released.
The aim of this tool is to make mapping easier. You can create a entire map with just the tool : new settlements, map from scratch, changing heights, moving characters etc.
For now the tool is in French, English and German and this is just a open beta (v 0.3.6), so not everything can be done with it, but be patient this is just a question of time
An english translation is available (but only for the old version)

Ps : I recommand you to make sav of your previews maps in case you did errors . I also warn you that Geomod is today not perfect and might have some bugs.
------How To Use It (english version)------
General:
I have taken the translated GeoMod upload provided by Octavius and have made the following changes\additions:
1. Replaced all files in the M2TW_files folder with the English versions
2. Extracted and converted icons from GeoMod and BinEditor for use with the installer
3. Put everything into this installer
Note:
Have a look in the M2TW_files folder to see which files the program needs. Explore the folder with the program to your heart's content.
Installation:
- The installer will automatically detect your installation of M2TW and then install the program into the M2TW\tools subfolder.
- Shortcuts for GeoMod and BinEditor will be put on the desktop[/quote]
"I came across a bug:" (gigantus)
GeoMod would freeze at 18% loading.
Reason: some of the M2TW files were read-only
Solution: remove read-only attribute
Might need a subroutine to check that.
------Also In-----
When you will extract your geomod.zip you'll find another exe which is bineditor.exe. This is another tool that allows you to edit your string.bin files without having to convert them
Download BinEditor only
