.CAM/.TAC/.TRN Utilities

Post by Closter » 2009-02-19 20:52:56

Once we know this file format is time to think about some apps that could make use of the new knowledge. I open this thread in pursuit of your ideas. But first I put a couple of my own (very obvious, really):

1.-Automatic objective linking. That is the major time-eating task in theater making, and it is very easy to leave holes etc. Perhaps a good automated script could do the job to our liking.

2.-Automatic unit placing: perhaps with a little "intelligence" taking account of the linking, road network, relief, etc.

Gentlemen, your call...

First coding in our queue is the new NxNormalFix util. Then any others we need.
Automatic objective linking.
It is very hard to make it automatic, or good luck teaching the algorithm how to link like human being ;)
Automatic unit placing: perhaps with a little "intelligence" taking account of the linking, road network, relief, etc.
We have this already in TCL scripts.
