Post subject: Another cfg2conf convertor

This program will generate an arena.conf (for asss) based on a server.conf. It does not generate separate settings files to go in conf/<setting name of your choice>/ like explody's. It does however set the flag spawn to minimumvirtual and scan for needed modules.

Usage: ./cfg2conf <server.cfg> [<mapname.lvl>]

Update Jan 9 2005: download links

Good job. I havent gotten to play with it but, what do you have as the output file? just the same name as the CFG file? And is there source so we can play around with the scanning and how it moves things around?

No doubt cypher and cyan will also add some useless comments.

Incase my last post wasn't clear. The output is arena.conf. I've put windows, cygwin and linux binaries along with the source into one archive. If someone could add the windows file open dialog like buildlevel and release it without requiring .net, that would be nice.

Note: the cygwin version doesn't have the soccer spawn radius, I'll fix that later.

XD useless comments

Luckily, I don't use ASSS... so reviewing will have to be done at a later time.

Untested, build w/ VC++ 6.0

Smong already included a Windows compile, though, cyph.

Anyway, here's one with the open file dialog. Needs comdlg32.dll, but that's it.

Haha my uselessness is defeated... temporarily.

I updated the archive to include the new source and windows binary linked to comdlg32.dll. Version is now 1.1 (only change is on windows version though).

I guess that sentence was rather vague. I assumed you needed MSVC so you can access the C++ class that does the open file dialog, and since a lot of recent MSVC compiled programs required .NET I thought I'd state my preference.
All my own binaries do not require .net (I can't afford to buy MSVC anyway).

You don't need a C++ class to access the file open dialog. Don't you realize all the stuff in MFC and .NET are just wrappers for the Win32 API?

I searched for code examples on how to use the open dialog, but only found some special case mods on some c++ classes (like how to customise it). I do know mfc/.net are wrappers, but I didn't see any sources saying how to do it by hand.

You don't need VC to even program for MFC. Just link to mfc*.dll.

I would never use MFC again after my bad first experiences with it though.

MFC is stupid because it transparently wraps the raw Win32 API. All the same functions exist. Nothing is simplified. It's just another layer of function calls. And a "hello world" app goes from 16K to 200K.

Ok I was going to log in to do this, but just haven't got round to it.

Version 1.3 is out, basically the only change is it now adds fg_wz or fg_turf to attach modules depending on the subgame settings.
