Cool. Any chance it will be able to grab values from the unit database automatically? That way you could load up all the stats for say, Ulmish infantry, make a few changes, then turn it into mod commands text.

That would really speed things up a lot and reduce the amount of messy copystats that people tend to use.

[paradoxharbinger]

thats a possibility for future development, just focusing on the basics right now though

[paradoxharbinger]

things are going well, most of the basic modding commands are working and outputting to file. i should be able to make a release in a few days

If you're looking for projects, you know what would be really really cool? A pretender maker. Just something where you can create a pretender and save your settings and load them again and maybe modify them a little.

[paradoxharbinger]

you'll be able to make pretenders with this just like any other unit

[lch]

I have now tested this with Mono 1.2.2.1 and it works fine for one negligible unimplemented method:
Code:

---

Unimplemented: Control::set_AutoSize(bool)

---

and one shortcoming: You seem to be using the backslash as directory seperator which gives problems with non-Windows systems, of course. Since Windows is POSIX-conform since WinNT and takes a slash "/" instead of a backslash "\", too, could you change your program to use slashes instead, or find out what the right character to use is? I think the trouble is just that you have the backslash hardcoded so far. So far, it saves the files under weird filenames (in the parent directory where you want to save it, with the filename "dir\file.dm" for the file.

[paradoxharbinger]

yeah, those slashes are hardcoded. i believe windows will take either the back- or forward slash, so should be an easy fix. ive been waiting for my new lappy to arrive before starting to play with new software, my old pc is barely limping along. so after i get that i'll experiment with mono and get that multiplatform release out.

[Gandalf Parker]

Will MapGen come out multiplatform also?
Id like to program a basic program to run batches of daily maps off of my server. Something like I did for Dom2 with DomMap (which I might resurrect)
http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion...andomMaps.html

I was thinking of having it run at night on my Windows machine then automate transfering them to the linux server. But Id much rather it all ran on linux

[Juzza]

so, when can we expect the next version of the unit gen?

I love this thing! saves me tons of time modding!
