NTai Toolkit 0.3
Moderators: hoijui, Moderators
the probs at the moment have seemed to be around NTai not so much the toolkit. The toolkit was never perfect but you can always hand edit the tdf files. If the probs with NTai were fixed then the toolkit as it stands would be able to create a quite nice AI.
Will AFlobby produce TDF files in the same format? If so then in theory Lindir you wouldn't have to redo the config you've started...

It wouldn't be hard to make a converter. The bulk of a config is the tasklists, but the new config type would take a different approach to that of the old type.
As such lindir wont neccesarily be the sole XTA maker, as other users may be contributing unawares, and lindir may have to just assemble a collection of strategies into a group.
Thus collaborative incremental configs that autoupdate and change over time will be possible.

DJ has fixed a number of bugs none of us where aware of, and gotten back source for me with decompiling. He's fixed the commar bug, and changed a few things. I've also added in a few label changes here and there to make things more apparent.

I would have pointed out a syntax error or a corrction that ti was fixed but you used a screenshot and you didnt post the text along wih the 5 or so lines above and below it.
I think you'll find [geotherm] on the line above. The question is, does it have a ; before it? Or did I just accidentally delete that in the source code in that mash of keys I just made?

I've made a few changes here nwo I've gotten VS2005 installed.
Dynamic attacker selection has been removed and is hardcoded as false, config builders will have to specify which untis are attackers from now on.
The Scouter tag has been removed too.
A lot of label renaming has gone on to make thigns mroe verbose and much clearer.
An ADV config options tab was added and some stuff moved there to make things clearer and free up extra UI space for improved layout and labels.
The gundam mech on the front page was removed to speed up loading and make text clearer.
I tried to make the maxantistall groupbox dissapear or disable once antistall was unchecked but I cant get it to do that for some reason.

Re: NTai Toolkit 0.3
Im sorely tempted to rewrite this in java instead of fixing the current build.
So what would you want in terms of UI, as Im not fond of the current tabs + checkboxlists.
One thought is to represent the config literally, only instead of a tag and text, I can replace text fields on certain tags with nicer UIs such as unit lists with searches, and collapsable fields, basically panels with nicer UIs etc

Real men write their NTai configs in Notepad anyway.
