I need Support informations for my WzEdit Tool Projekt

Post by elfithefreak »

Hi Guys i´m new here,
actually I´m working on a Warzone 2100 Unit and Tech Editor Tool. I´m a great fan of modding but i missed a useful Interface to edit the confusing txt config files :-S . And thats the reason why i started this tiny projekt. I used Java and Java Swing AWT Gui for training my programming skill. And last but not least a Java AWT Gui worked on all Windows, Linux and Apple OS`es. The tool self is compiled as an executable JAR File. The Editor is not finished yet, because some needed functions must be implemented by me (for example: auto dezip and zip files for import and export data) but the tool grows every day. :-) I hopeful that i can release a beta Version in the next 1-2 weeks. Unfortunately i missed some description of the included values in the text files. I found in the development area only descriptions for Body.txt, Weapons.txt, Templates.txt, Assignweapons.txt, Structures.txt, structureweapons.txt, research.txt, propulsion.txt, bodypropulsionimd.txt, sensors.txt

I need stat descriptions for follow list of txt Files:
- brain.txt
- construction.txt
- ecm.txt
- features.txt
- propulsiontype.txt
- repair.txt
- specialability.txt
- structurefunctions.txt
- structuremodifier.txt
- terraintable.txt
- weaponmodifier.txt
- weaponsounds.txt

/research/multiplayer/
- prresearch.txt
- redcpmponents.txt
- redstructure.txt
- researchfunctions.txt
- researchstruct.txt
- resultcomponent.txt
- resultstructure.txt

I hope that some of you can tell me the missing informations. Actually "Placeholders" spells as description in my tool. I think thats not really useful for editing the correct value. :)

I have added an screenshot as attachment. Please don´t "Buuh" me I know the interface looks like as an "Old Grandma". i´m worked the first time with Java Gui. ^^

p.s. i know my english is bad.

The other ones aren't described because it's pretty easy to figure out what they are. Just read them and guess. ;)

Match the columns up with the columns in Warzone Guide: http://guide.wz2100.net/

All you really need to know is that researchstruct.txt contains structure prerequisites (build this before you research this), and resultstructure.txt contains structure results (research this before you build this).

Oh, and terraintable.txt is kind of hard to read. I've attached a readable version (can't be loaded in game).

Oh, and, keep in mind that some columns do absolutely nothing (like the numeric column in prresearch.txt). Keep that in mind if you can't figure out one of the columns.

Ok. I think the finally version^^ have an language support in this way i can solve the problem with "useless" columns. Or i make an easier way to ignore useless Files while importing the data. Java Swing sucks me. I know i can do lots of good thinks with it but i don`t know in which way. Google is actually my best friend. ^^ Oki, i swallow stupid. Now, i Javaing in the next round.^^
