help needed for new Q3Map2Toolz

(Hr.O) #1

Hi, i’m in the buzz of completely recoding my Q3Map2Toolz, The idea is to add more freedom to the user. Now to make stuff complete, i need a bit of help.

i got this file called switches.txt, and i need some help completing it.
this is the file:


// This file contains the switches (checkboxes) used by Q3Map2Toolz
// Syntaxis: <The tab/stage the switch belongs to>,<the actual switch>,<type of optional additional variable>,<the helptext shown when mouse is over the switch>
// Types of additional variables:
// 0 = no additional value (zero)
// s = string (any ascii character exept ",")
// f = loadfile	(ms-dos path)
// c = savefile	(ms-dos path)
// p = path		(ms-dos path)
// i = integer	(-32768 - 32767 step 1)
// d = decimal	(-65535 - 65535 step 0.001)
// n = natural	(0 - 65535 step 1)
// G = degrees	(0 - 360 step 1)
// m = normalized	(0.0 - 1.0 step 0.1)
// The "," is used as a separator, You will break this file when you use a ",". 
// Use a "." for the decimals.
// For the run-game part there is a slight difference.
// switches work just the same, but if you would like to add a gametype, use the following..
// syntaxis: "game",<* & The name/caption of the radio button>,<value of the gametype (the 3 of +set g_gametype 3)>,<the helptext shown when mouse is over the switch>
// sample line: game,*Team Death Match,3
// to start Quake III arena in Team Deathmatch mode
// note the "*" that's what Q3Map2Toolz will react to.

i’m sorry but i can’t help with your problem - all i wanna say is thank you for a great tool, keep up the good work! :clap:

HrO pwns. :beer:

I like the new scrollbar on the options list! Looks sharp.

Hey btw… the other night I was trying to create a new batch thread (under build options), but it keep giving me an error and booting me from da toolz. All I did was simply “add” and then put in my compile name and then when I hit “ok”… it kicked me. Any idea?

Oh and I dont know how to answer your question. :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

I’m assuming you want things, like… tooltip text?

It would probably help people out if you were more specific about what needed to be done.

(onu) #5 
// m = normalized   (0.0 - 1.0 step 0.1)

Does this imply that Q3map2 Toolz will adjust normalized values to one-tenth accuracy? Shouldn’t it be more along the lines of one-millionth? Or at least, one-thousandth?

You might want to use an XML format or the same format that Q3Map2Build by dlb uses.

That way I could maintain one file of switch data, next to Q3Map2.exe, called q3map2.switches (or something) that your app (and any other) could load.

That way if I add/remove/modify switches, your app will always be up to date.

The only reason I suggest using DLB’s format (or XML) is that it has tooltip support, which are useful for determining what a switch does.

Hi,

Just a quick note to say Thankyou Hr.O for your great tool :slight_smile:
I pimp this app to everyone :wink:

My only issue with it (5.19) is that sometimes when I open it, the window is off screen
and I have to move it the old fashioned way so I can see it ?

I like the idea of Ydnar creating an “official” switches XML doc, with “official”
tool tips :smiley: thats gota be the way to-go IMO
