Getting access to start locations?

Anyone know if there is there any way to access the start locations on the map or even the number of players in the game?

Use the TdfParser class to parse script.txt. For exact start psoitions you parse the map data file.

See OTAI and NTai source code.

I found the CSunParser class in KAI & OTAI, who wrote that piece of code?

SJ wrote it for spring, then veylon ported it voer to AIs, then tobi and jelmer tore it out and replaced it with TdfParser which is much better, then I ported TdfParser.

You'll find TdfParser in NTai and OTAI 1.14, CSunParser has a bgu in it that requires it to use kludges sucha s exception handling and generally allows much looser error prone TdfSyntax that TdfParser without giving any indication of an error or where it happened.

Andreas Pokorny tore it out, not jc or me.
