Scenario Compiler???

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Is there going to be a Scenario/Mission Compiler like in TC2M?

Cheers...

I do not think that we ever wrote one, it must have been a mod. This is a tool that I would like to do, but it's not on the schedule now.

That would be the greatest Norb I would beg on my knees for a tool like this

Hi Norb.

I'm sorry, what I was talking about more along the lines of something like Warpack you made for TC2M. I would like to create a full linear campaign.

I guess I'll be bugging you about this till the cows come home. I just can't get away from wanting a random campaign generator (up to 50 scenario can be created, and with full career mode). Hell, I'm willing to pay up too $40.00 if you release it as an addon.

I know your a busy man. Just thought I would ask.

Cheers...

We need real campaigns first, and that is on the schedule

Thanks Norb.

I am a noobie here. So please realize that I may not know what I am talking about, I have not played with any modding yet. But based on what I see, a mission compiler could be written in a database program, like Access. Import all the .csv files into the base database, write some nice dialog boxes with different parameters and export the final selections to new .csv files. Maybe add a little code for making it dynamic? Just saying...


Just me 2 cents.

There is a lot of room for great tools to make things much easier. I also try to not change the format of the files, so that tools will continue to work. I know that Garnier is always writing tools to make that step from what I think is logical, to something that many more people think is logical

I hope to find the time to write a good set of tools at some point. Fingers crossed.

Garnier's tools look like what I was envisioning. Cool. Thanks.
