== Re: Hidden Dungeon ==


Sure, I'd be happy to help!
Hey thanks for the message.  I apologize for not reviewing the updated content policy beforehand.  I should have known something was up when I encountered something out of the ordinary. 


Here's a heightmap for the 2012-05 patch [http://www.codethecode.com/download/ac/dereth-height-2012-05.png dereth-height-2012-05.png] (associated regular map is [http://www.codethecode.com/download/ac/dereth-2012-05.png dereth-2012-05.png]).  The height is 0  for the water, up to 255 for the max height.  I'm using the height for all three color channels, so it is effectively a greyscale image.   
As someone who contributed to acpedia before the end of retail, it is hard to use the wiki without wanting to make updates.  The wiki was obviously far from perfect at the end of retail, and there is a lot I would like to add to and/or clean up when playing the game, but I also understand its role as a "artifact" of the state of the game at the end.   


I have notes that "Adjacent pixels are 24 units apart24 * 8 = 192 per land block... 24 * 2041 = 48984 for the whole mapHeights are 2 * z... hopefully in the same units."
I sent you a friend invite over on Discord using my account there (Flying Ragnar)I've messaged with ImmortalBob there a few times. Thanks again for the work you have done over years on the wiki(s) and for maintaining the many data dumpsMaybe someday a better option for preserving the old while updating for new will come up.

I could make the water areas transparent if you needed.  Let me know if that works, or if you need anything else.

By the way, when you said "Retail CD", I don't suppose you meant the original release CD?  I'd love to get my hands on those data files :)  The earliest I have the the Dark Majesty ones.

== Re: Light theme ==


Probably the easiest way would be to use Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com).  If you don't already use this, free accounts get 2 GB of storage, or if you sign up with this link <http://db.tt/db7Oafp> you'll get an extra 500 MB and I'll get an extra 1GB.  Dropbox provides a folder that gets synced across all of your computers.  You can share folders with other people, or put files in a public folder and then copy a public link to it, something like <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7958574/ac/dungeon-00a2.png>.  You can normally do that through the Finder (which isn't working for me), or through their website.  I use it for work, to share files with other members of my team.
Well, I've been tasked by Fandom to fix things up if you would just like me to go ahead and do it. But if you'd prefer to try to fix things yourself, there is actually a guide that was recently created, available at https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:FandomDesktop_conversion_guide [[User:ProfessorTofty|ProfessorTofty]] ([[User talk:ProfessorTofty|talk]]) 22:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 
:Yes, I would be glad to fix up the issue you mentioned and anything else related to the theme that I come across. It should be finished by sometime this Sunday at the latest, unless I come across anything that would delay me. I'll keep you posted.

Alternatively, you can send me email at nygard@gmail.com and I'll set up an account where you can ftp the files.
 
I should only need the Retail files. I have the DM ones, and I'm sure I still have my TOD CDs. Thanks!
