I made a program in Java today that quite simply converts a .gif to a .bls. It assumes the .gif you put in is a heightmap, which is basically a grayscale image that represents terrain elevation. The .bls it outputs can be loaded in any server, and with any color set - it leaves it to Blockland's default code to match the colors (100% match with default colorset).
This isn't in modification discussion because:
A) I most likely will not publicly release this.
B) It's not made in Torque; it's made in Java.
Now, for the sample pictures (gotta love the grass):
Original heightmap I found off of GoogleScreenshot of the build loaded in my serverYes, since it's a save file, you can load it up, build stuff on it, then save it. It'd probably be best for giving a bit of background to a house you make, or even being used as a foundation for some sort of RPG.
Want one converted? Just post a link to a heightmap here. Next time I check this topic, I'll throw it into the converter and upload the .bls file. The reason I don't just post a link to the .jar file is because I know there's some precautions around code you can't easily view the source of.
Don't want one converted? Just let me have my moment, then.
