or- find out the bottom right? it could be anywhere fro the top left, how do you know where the object's other corner is?

[Gwanw]

What do you mean with size? The size of the object ingame or the size of the object in the apt?
You can't see the new position without testing. With a screenshot (with the right size or you must scale the screenshot) you can copy the object and so, you can see your offset, when you move the object.

look, i have the top right corner when given tx and ty, yes?
but, once i have this top right corner selected, this means i can stretch out for a long way to the right and the bottom, since i am not given a limit. thought the object is 512 by 512, so im gonna try that now

[Gwanw]

You can't stretch the object with tx and ty, this are only coordinates. The part with rotm is for stretching.
And the co-ordinate origin (tx and ty) is the top right corner.

it crashed when i put my new apt file in game, as soon as i started the battle

Did the converter chrash during the converting from apt to xml? With long apts the apt2xml.exe has a problem. So the new apt could be faulty.

[ReallyFat]

apt2xml crashed, but xml2apt didnt. It was fine.

[Gwanw]

Thats bad, because your xml is'nt complete. You must start the application as administrator or I can send you the complete xml (but you must say for BFME, BFME II or ROTWK^^).

[ReallyFat]

well, have you got ALL the apts extracted to XML for ROTWK?

[ReallyFat]

If you do, maybe you could upload the to T3A, and everyone would benefit.

There are now all xml files^^.

[ReallyFat]

dude it says, "file not found". I was able to get it however, by removing the T3A part of the hyperlink.

Sry, I forgot to publish the article.

Getting the hang of it, moved the frame! Thanks for the XMLs, Gwanw!

[ReallyFat]

How's that? just stuck with the two objects at the bottom. The black one where the portrait appears, and the transparent orb around the map. Can't seem to find those objects.

Wow that actually looks pretty neat

[ReallyFat]

Thanks mate!

[ReallyFat]

gwanw, do you have any idea what those objects are? they are definitely not PalantirBack

[Gwanw]

I think CommandBackground, CommandUI and PalantirSpectralHighlight. But its easier to move all parts of the palantir. So you must find every part .

If a mod wants to have 2 further All-hero-buttons for new factions, they can contact me

i know thi is old, but what does that have to do with apt? cant you just retexture it?
