Sort of a Batch Map Converter

[Tyko]

Hope this to be the correct place to post.

-Introduction-

I've been looking for what I believe is something like a batch map converter.

What it do is to convert a full colored/textured map into a 3 colored/1 textured map.

I don't know if it's a gui program or a command line program.

-Explanation-

What makes me believe it's all automated?

Every 'new' map have with it some sort of "log", a .lua file.

The .lua files contains some "obvious" strings:

----------------------------------------------
-- schg_cas01.lua
-- generated by ropm (sinny)
-- 2009/03/10
----------------------------------------------

-- map cell codes
CELL_WALKABLE = 0
CELL_SNIPABLE = 1
CELL_BLOCKING = 2
CELL_UNKNOWN = 3

That date, 2009/03/10, is a constant in every one of them. 538 maps eddited in just 1 day, I don't see it human-possible.

After looking a bit in internet, I came at >this< post in RMS forums. Although the download link is death, the date matches so it looks like he/she is the original autor of the very first grf (eddited this way) but I still have no idea how he/she made it.

ropm = ragnarok online primitive maps ?

I've tested a lot of map editting programs but I have not found this kind of "special" feature (batch convertion) so maybe it's a personal code or some understimated/private/unknown release.

Attached to this post are the map files and the .lua (of the screens) and the .bmp file used as texture. Also, a couple screens of how the map looks like.

-Request itself-

If someone knows anything about this map editor/converter or even have it and can share it, I'll be really grateful.

Thanks for reading (if you did read it all).

I know it as SAK, Ruso, Tetris, since the latin community got it from Russian Private Servers.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I'm not looking for the grf itself (I already have it).

I'm looking for how it was made.
