Getting Started with Maptoolz | 7dtd map editing software 2022

In this video I'm taking a quick look at a Mod that will help you edit maps that you have already created.

Here's the link:

Maptoolz allows you to extract and edit biomes, heightmaps and roads in a 7 days to die map. It can be used on RWG maps or maps made using KingGen, Nitrogen or Teragon. Improve biome placement, draw new roads to your favourite poi, cut paths through mountains. No alpha layers to deal with which makes map making workflow very efficient.

MAP PREVIEW UPDATE!!
To create a preview of your map in newer versions of MapToolz you will need to use the following command:
mappreview x
Where "X" is the number for your map.

You are a real hero to this community. Your videos are extremely niche but they have helped me not on several occasions. You are my go-to for EVERYTHING 7 days to die maps!

So glad I found your videos Brad!!!. Following along is quite easy, SO far I have successfully edited the biome of several maps. However - I ran into a snag - no "preview" folder is being generated in the workspace folder. Any advice. I'd like to follow your 3rd video tutorial and it seems I've missed something.

Good to see another tool for editing maps for 7DTD and a good explanation of how it works. Question; Can this tool be used to edit the heightmap similar to what you did with KingGen to produce a map in the shape of a country like you did with the UK series?

[Joe-Dead]

can't wait for the heightmap video, read the comments but for YT's algo made separate comment rather than replying in one.

[bthreebs]

OMG! %appdata% just changed my world. I cant thank you enough for that little bit of information. Thank you!

[medusagorgon]

Great video, a simple explanation that even I understood! Great tool, thanks for sharing this Brad!

[azeraxosu]

Wow excellent job. With King Gen being a very automated method of generating a map. This simplifies every part of customizing any map you want to play. Great explanation and tutorial

[thomsolo]

Wow super handy mod-toolz and i hope they get the terrain update soon for the preview file. Yea it definitely helps and saves time converting. I was a little bit of a speed bump take a screen shot of the progenerated maps preview to cropping/resizing/aligning it up with biome and other 2 files lol Great Video! Thank you, Tallman Brad!!! ☕👍

[SighClops]

Damn good video! I was already subbed after your earlier editing biomes tutorial. Thank you very much! Big 👍 from me!
Already subbed 😉

This program is amazing, finally have an island map now and more reason to use a boat mod. The only thing I need to do now is learn to create 1 world spawn for all players on the server.

This looks very useful. Thank you for presenting!

Please remember to disable EAC before running Maptoolz and any other mod. EAC is only needed if you play on official tfp servers.
MAP PREVIEW CHANGE!
To create a preview of your map in newer versions of MapToolz you will need to use the following command:
mappreview x
Where "X" is the number for your map.

great videos very easy to follow and full of great info. QUick question why do you want to remove the workspace folder before uploading it?

[thebullhornstreamer]

Hi! What key did you use to instantly jump around when you were flying? I know H is to fly, but I forget what the forward jumping key was. Thanks!

[tokyolee]

Hello!!! i'm so glad to fin your channel and this tutorial. it would be very helpful to me and my friends. May I ask if we can edit, move around or add more o the cities and water terrains? thank you so much! :D

[pyrrhrick]

What a bloody legend.

Great guide mate thanks!

[saganathasme]

Can I use this tool's water image to add a river to a map where I want it? I would think I would also need to make sure the height map has a valley where I want to add the river or at least that I'm adding the water at the correct height.

Hello, how do you generate this map preview? It looks different from others

[fortheloveofking]

I've run into a serious problem doing this. Because I generated the world before I edited the biomes, I have snow covered trees growing in the desert and what not. What did I do wrong? It seems like that's by design. I feel like deleting this saved game and starting a new one would fix this... or wouldn't, because the processed files would still be there...

Update: It seems that deleting the game I started to generate the map and starting a new game fixed this. Again, thanks for the tutorial, and I hope if anyone has this problem they see this.
