SM3 Feature Placer

[Maelstrom]

Im going to attempt to make the SM3 Feature Placer thingy like people were asking for a while back. But first, some things i need to know:

1) How/where is the data stored for the map? How is each feature defined?

2) I heard somewhere that Spring is big/small endian, whatever windows isnt. So that means I would have to reverse all the numbers im outputting right?

3) Anything else i should know about features?

An in game version using a group AI would be perfectly feasible.

nice :)

1)

I wrote a bit about it in the start position editor thread:

2)

Not really, basically all the spring formats are little endian. Even though spring supports both "endianesses", no big endian platform is currently supported. MacOS maybe, in the future.

3)

Not sure, they're pretty simple IMO

Good work Mael, but err...keep a close eye on the fatal bugs ok? Those seem to be your weakness in programming.

Suggestion: Since youve made so many tiny programs that are made the same way, perhaps one big program with all of those combined is in order?

[Maelstrom]

Maybe one day ill stick them in together, but besides the SMD editor, which programs have fatal bugs? I havnt heard about any besides in the SMD creator, and I lost the source to that so i cant fix it.

[Maelstrom]

Sucess! I can reproduce the output of the program thats already out there. I now know how to write the files, now I just need to make the GUI. Over to the other thread for that one.

Thanks for the help!

Well, I couldnt get your start position editor to work without crashing. And TBH, havent tried any others.

Reporting bugs FTW. No one ever told me they found a single bug in it. No one. If i dont know its broke, i cant bloody well fix it! Please, report bugs!
