Editing Pathmaps: Converting to BMP and back?

I thought there was a tutorial somewhere, but I guess not. I looked in multiple places and didn't find anything.

Anyway, I would like to convert a Pathfinding file [.RAWR] to a ".BMP" or some other format so that I can edit it.

What program can I use to edit the RAW files? I don't see anything in the "Modding Tools" thread that I can use to do such an operation.
I tried using BF Botinator, but it is mad at me at the moment and will not load the ".RAW" files.

Hey mate. Just go here:

http://www.battlefieldsingleplayer.com/ ... ding+Guide

And download the guide. It contains almost eeverything you want / need / search.

:D

In the tools folder you'll find rexmans pathfind tools to convert RAW to DDS and then DDS to BMP.

Also go here for a good step by step tutorial how to use the tools.

I hope that helps a bit.

Fizzy's tutorial is very good. If you do not have the Canvas, you can use "Paint" on your PC.
When you convert, save as... "bitmap monochrome".

Okay. I can get it to be converted to a BMP, but how do I get it back to a normal game file [RAW]?

I tried "FlyRawGui" but it made a file other than a RAW when I clicked on the "Convert BMP to RAW" button.

Thank you, sir. Time to trash BC '42 and upgrade to Ed '42.
