You can get it HERE RIGHT NOW!
It is a 7-zip self installer which needs to be run in your EAW 128E folder.

The info.txt reads:

***********************************************************************************************
This package installs two test eaw.exe versions set up for OAW128 in
"E-128E_Fix08_TM2" and "E EAW1.28e_10 _TM2" folders.
These exes are modified versions of Knegel's 1.28E fix08 and fix10
which use the TM2 tilemap system started by Will Gee.

Three replacement CDF files are installed.
They are the standard 1.28E ones with additional files added which the
TM2 system needs, so they are totally compatible with all previous versions
of 1.28E

The TM2 system needs to have a "EAWTM2" folder in the EAW folder.
This folder contains the default the "BumpVal.eaw" file which is read if there is no
"BumpVal.eaw" file in the root folder.
This file maps the terrain tiles to their corresponding "BP*.TER" files and is essential.
Only people who make new extended terrain tile sets will need to hane their own
"BumpVal.eaw" file in the root folder, so there is no need for anyone to worry
about this for the time being.
The "EAW32TM_maker" folder contains a utility which reads a "eaw.tm"
file and makes a "eaw32.tm" file which the TM2 system uses in place of "eaw.tm".

The "BatchFile" folder contains a batch file which creates three additional "BP*.TER" files
in terrain sets which have their own "BP*.TER" files.
The three default ones ate in the extended TERRAIN.CDF.

The "DirSetPicker_stuff" folder contains folders containing the "eaw32tm" file
for the scenarios downloaded to use with the DirSet Picker from my web page.
None are needed for scenarios which use the standard tilemap, such as "ETO_01",
"SWOTL" and "ModSqaudBoB".


Finally, for testing purposes

There in a "G-sillyTM2" folder in the "OAW128" folder.
If loaded it puts the high res and low res versions of the 65th tile (Tile64.TR) in the
EAW folder.
It puts a modified "eaw32.tm" file in the EAW folder in which all references to
tile #2 (water) have been replaced with #64 and a snowy city tile appears where
the sea should be.
In order to do this the exe needs to know that there are 65 tiles instead of the default 64.
This is achieved by the loading of a "NumTiles.eaw" file from this folder.
"NumTiles.eaw" is a simple one line text file- this one reads "65".

***********************************************************************************************

The main thing is to test the appropriate eaw.exe with your current system, and then try the 65th tile possibility.

Please let me know if you are testing it

Hello Jel - what is the drill for the most up to date 128E setup?

Moggy!
Check my webpage for links to the basic install and Ralf's posts re V10.

This is a new version of V7 which has a vertical scrollbar in the tile selection panel which accommodates up to 256 tiles.
It now reads the "eaw32.tm" file.
The tile number and orientation is shown.
That is all I have done so far, but it is a good start.

Jell,

well done mate, the new editor looks fine

I don't have time tonight (family commitments), but I will try the new system out tomorrow...


cheers,



Pobs

If you do I'll send you the new editor- I have just finished it

If you guys want a tile set with a few extra tiles ready to test you can grab a set of the EAW Demo tiles from WOB. There are 71 tiles, I think, including some coast tiles and extra road tiles.

Here is the link: http://www.sandbagger.uk.com/WOBT/Demo/EAWoriginaltiles.zip

Hello Tony.

I know you have not set any descriptive file names in the exe or your editor so here's an idea. Just extend the ranges of the existing tile name which we are all familiar with, with a few new ones.

BNRoad to BNRoad20
BNRiver to BNRiver20
BNMount to BNMount10
BNForst to BNForst10
BNField to BNField20
BNCosst to BNCosst20
BNAlcty to BNAlcty20
BNCanal to BNCanal20 New Canal tiles
BNRivrfk to BNRivrfk5
BNRivrnd to BNRivrnd5
BNRivrbr to BNRivrbr5
BNRivrtr to BNRivrtr5
Bncostu to Bncostu10
BNCosttr to BNCosttr5
BNCostrv to BNCostrv5
BNCostct to BNCostct5
BNCostbr to BNCostbr5
BNCnroad to BNCnroad5 New Canal road crossing tiles
BNTrench to BNTrench15 New Trench tiles for WWI, but could be used for fortified emplacements in WW2

I think that should more than cover your 256 slots and a few extras.

Col the names are flexible in a file named "tilename.str" so the terrain makers can call them what they like.
They may need to watch the 8 character name limit if they want to pack them into a CDF.
I'm really dismayed that nobody seems to be testing the exes, because we need to know that they are working with existing 1.28E scenarios, multiplayer, career etc.

Anyhow I made a new eaw32.tm file with the my new tilemap utility which is using a list with 65 tiles

Sorry to say I can't spend any time on this until this weekend. I downloaded from the link and will try it out. BTW how do you get the new v7 editor...email? I am kinda slow with such things....maybe why I like terrain tiles....slow work.
