MapSplorer v1.1.1

[Jeyrad]

I am happy to present to you, MapSplorer!

NEWS ALERT-
I don't have enough time took keep this program up anymore, so I will be releasing the source code.
It was coded in Visual Basic 6.
I will soon be releasing the source code, once i find time to go through the source and add/edit comments to make the source more clear. =]

Current Version: 1.1.1

(NOTICE: if you have windows 95, 2000, or ME do NOT install this. It will mess your computer up! This program is for windows XP and up ONLY)

What does MapSplorer do?
MapSplorer searches your soldat map folder and compiles a list of all your maps and their details. You can see your maps in an organized fashion between CTF, HTF, DM/Team/Point matches, and Climbing & Dodgeball maps. You can also search through the maps and find the exact map your looking for.

I haven't used this and don't have any use for it, though I have one suggestion that I think a bunch of people would like.

Can you make it re-create a zip file for a map?  I know that a lot of people say "oh this map kicks ass, try it!"

"where can I get it?"

"hang on... ugh I can't find a download link"


so, since you can read the file to get a list of the sceneries/textures/edges it needs... can you just tinker with it and have it create a new zip file with all of the proper folders?

If so, please note this: 

1) linux servers need to have the zip contain folders with lowercase folder names, eg maps instead of Maps, scenery-gfx instead of Scenery-gfx, etc.
2) windows doesn't care about cases, so having it use maps instead of Maps etc.... really doesn't matter

Thus, please have the zip use lowercase foldernames   This is something that EnEsCe needs to change if he ever releases a new version of his map packager thing.

I was planning on releasing that in the beta (version 1.0, the current one) but i didnt have enough time to get that in and i have to look up how to zip things through my program. Thanks for replying =]

Date Posted: July 28, 2006, 08:22:50 PMVersion 1.5 now available! GET TO DOWNLOADING, you can now pack your map into one folder... err as in it will only take you to click the "Pack Map" button and the program automatically finds the scenery that map needs and adds it into a folder along with the map.

YES! pwns EnEsCe's by soooo much.

c:\windows\system32\prjChameleon.ocx


?!?!?!

[KamikazeDuck]

ha ha ha! 

oh wait, it isn't working for me either... 

Any ideas?

[jrgp]

If you  get that message whinning about an ocx or a dll that you are sure you have then I think you have to register it.
Go to start > Run, type that and push ok:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\prjChameleon.ocx

also I'v noticed that alot of fan apps require the .net framework. Does this? If so specify a minimum version.


anyway if this program works and if he does what flies suggested I will download it and use it.

Don't work for me. Also i can't see prjChameleon.ocx in my system32 folder.

[jrgp]

^ that was only if you had the file on your computer.
If not google it, download it to that folder and use the method I posted above.

[Mothafix]

I have the file now, and registered it.

Still doesn't work.

[Jeyrad]

Sorry guys, ive been sleeping ^_^. K ill get right on that fix for you. I have to get the OCX for you all.

Date Posted: July 29, 2006, 10:46:04 AMIts now fixed, the install will install the OCX for you and register it. =]

[Leo]

It works but how about the "textures" and "edges" folders ? Many custom maps use them.

[Jeyrad]

rofl... i totally spaced that off >_<. Ill add it next version lol.

[Mothafix]

I got a runtime error. Screeny is little messed up, sorry

[Jeyrad]

ATM your soldat path has to be C:\Soldat\ ... Remeber this is just a beta, ill have all these bugs fixed in version 1.0 non-beta =]

[jrgp]

It has to be c:\Soldat\ ?

For the sake of organization I have mine set to c:\Program Files\Soldat\.

Does this mean I have to wait for the v1.0 to try it?

[Jeyrad]

jrgp, yes, but not to worry, i should have v1.0 out before the end of today =]

[Mothafix]

Moving soldat to C:\ killed my polyworks. :/ So i have to wait for 1.0 too

[Jeyrad]

Good news guys, i am almost done with the directory thing.
 
I AM done with the scenery thing. I will be uploading 1.0 non-beta in about an hour or two, you can get your fingers on this juicy program  then =]

[KamikazeDuck]

Thanks for the fix, I just have a tiny problem that does not affect how the program works or anything. The help and exit buttons are black with no detail on them like shown in the screenshot. You might want to get that fixed or might not if you can't be bothered.

Very nice program, it was a very good idea to add mappacking capabilities to it (ty flab). Good job.
