I guess that makes sure it's an unreachable tech

There are also some redundant prerequisites, where tech C depends on tech A and B, but tech B also depends on tech A, meaning you'd need A anyway for C, without C directly depending on A.

at first glance i like the idea, but given more thought, i wouldnt want to play games with that pluged in. as a turtle. my ability to micro manage my research better than my enemies is mostly what wins me the war.. if everyone could do what you say then we would all just select the best money resea...

I've been playing with grouping some tech-types together. Didn't make the image any smaller (it grew even larger) but it is a bit more readable...

I'm starting to think this tech tree is simply to large and complex to display graphically

I'd like to be able to set a target-upgrade for a research centre, and have it automatically research all prerequisites. So right at the start I can set my first RC to research up to "repair facility" and it will do all the work necessary to get there. If it ever has "nothing to do" because some oth...

For a graphical version of the tech tree, take a look at this thread:
http://wz2100.net/forum/index.php?topic=588.0

Open the image linked to in that thread in a proper image viewer, as web browsers are not very suitable for images this size

Damn, these look good! 

I've also seen this problem, but when I replayed the level it didn't occur.

Here's a new version of my patch. I changed the directions to float instead of FRACT. Savegames are not changed, it saves the direction as int, as it used to, and converts them back to float on loading. So savegames are just as backwards (in)compatible as the rest of SVN. I tested skirmish and campa...

Just a couple of hours to learn how graphviz works and to learn python. Both of wich I planned on doing anyway so this was just a nice "first project"

I added some more shapes (trapezium for VTOL stuff, double-box for research upgrades)
And it can now change the edge-style.

Attached is the python script I made to generate the graphvis DOT files.

I so agree on that grouping those would be very, very nice. But I think that's even more important for the research tab. The research list sometimes spans 5 or 6 tabs, that's just horrible!

A3 or A2 might be large enough :D Giel, from data/stats/research/cam1: http://pkedu.fbt.wur.nl/~hylke/data/techTreecam1.png from data/stats/research/cam2: http://pkedu.fbt.wur.nl/~hylke/data/techTreecam2.png from data/stats/research/cam3: http://pkedu.fbt.wur.nl/~hylke/data/techTreecam3.png There's ...

I warned you

I've added a few shapes for some types:
Cyborgs: ellipse
Defense: octagon
Weapons: hexagon

Now it's 9216x4647

It's BIG, in glorious black and white:

In a next version I'll add shapes for different types of tech.

Interesting note: There are some redundant correlations in the stats, like the Hurricane AA Turret -> Cyclone Flak Turret dependency.

Would it be possible to "just" do a global search&replace and change every instance of FRACT to float and MAKEFRACT to (float)? If I only change the moevDirection to float, we get an ugly mix of FRACT's and float's...
