Greetings Pilgrims,
I have created a new version of my SalemDesigner conversion pack for AnnoDesigner and thought I would make a post on these new forums for it as well. This tool has most of the current buildings in Salem sizes preset, along with images to make the various buildings easy to differentiate. AnnoDesigner can save plans to edit later or output a PNG file to share with others.
Current Conversion Pack: Version 3
How to install:
1. Download Anno Designer: http://code.google.com/p/anno-designer/
2. Download Conversion Pack (link above).
3. Extract Anno Designer to location of your choice, and then extract the contents of the conversion pack to the Anno Designer folder. Overwrite files when asked.
4. Start Anno Designer, the building Presets and icons should now be those of Salem.
All of the images are now updated to proper in-game shots of them, and have been optimized for size and quality. Due to this however, the new pack is almost 2mb. While doing this I also tried to adjust them so there would not be that annoying clipping anymore while placing new buildings; let me know if I missed any clipping issues.
Note: I have yet to add the following buildings that are in the game due to a lack of a decent screenshot of them or unknown size:
• Blazing Brazier
• Boundary Stone
• Cauldron
• Cross of Saint George
• Stamp Mill
Changelog:
V1:
• Initial Release
V2:
• Unreleased update which added more buildings
V3:
• Added more buildings, including Turkey Coop and Simple Stove
• All images are how they look in game, no longer icons
• Added some extra presets I found handy
• Vertical options for items that would clip before
• Clipping of all images should be reduced or eliminated
• Note: Due to how AnnoDesigner saves plans and a change in the naming scheme I used, these new images will *not* appear on older plans. They will only work for all plans created from now on. They will also not overwrite the original icons I used in earlier packs, so those will still be used for older plans if you have an older version of my conversion pack still installed.
I would like to thank ZackSchneider for creating AnnoDesigner.
UPDATE: I am back! Link updated for version 3, if there are any changes you can inform me about that will help me update the program sooner. Otherwise expect Version 4 in the coming weeks.
