as the wingmen settings are now available we need to update some, if not all of the levels, especially team nano sumo

outsiders start far back and must be brought forward

also levels thate are nano have cycles too far apart

You are right.
Trouble with the current system is the work involved updating a simple setting on a map.

Take a look at this thread here:

http://forums.armagetronad.net/viewtopic.php?t=7381

It is a far better system for map settings, changes can be made with the minimun of fuss.
Trouble is the time to set it up. I have none.

If someone wants to help me with this, I have a vision in my head of exactly how it will be. Let me know.

as i said i will help u ed, but i'm busy rigt now 2, first weeks after holidays, a lots of shit to do.

I'm going to have some time next week so if I can help, just tell me what you expect me to do ...

not really that hard, just open make a new setting and done, but yes 80 maps is alot - 10 minutes if u are quick. most levels dont matter: here are the list of those that do though:

nano start too far apart

nano sumo needs to start same point

hexagonal triangles the spawns are too close together

others?

Actually, it seems to me a bit more complicated to me if you want to achieve what wrtl describes in his mail. It is more like building a set of tables to get default settings and map specific settings and write the script that is supposed to generate the everytime.cfg. The editing part is just the easiest one and wrtl allready join clean-up maps in his post ...

The work needs doing is more about renaming all the maps.
They are currenty all under the "ed" header, and well, they're not all made by me.
I would like to go for a "ct" category for all maps. Within this there are subcategories:
octagon, hex, chico, fortress, sumo, dogfight, catfight, etc.
And, of course, all maps would have to be modified according to the new path.

I'm also thinking of a standard heading at the top of all maps, something like:

<!--- Crazy Tronners Map
Designed by: Kyle
Name: Death of Hex
Description: 6 axes Deathzone Mayhem
License: Do with it what you like -->

Then comes the settings, yes, they will need adding to a mysql table - wrtl has already done this, but when we change all the names, the table will need modifying accordingly.
And then the table we currently use to switch maps will need updating with all the new names.

So, a fair bit of work then.

Anyway, if I can help, just tell me ...

forgot the Butchered by ed part

I think Death of Hex was the only map you gave me that I didn't butcher.
Aside from tweaking a few few settings it was as it came.

It was the rest of them I butchered.

And Voodoo, if you have the time, download wrtls maps without settings.
Put them into categories as stated above, use your imagination with cat's.

Open a new topic perhaps with idea's, possible standard heading - remember, if this is standardised it can be easily parsed by php on aur server pages, which could be quite fun. I hope other folk can add their idea's.

See what you come up with, maybe I can swing it with Xevi to get you on the server tech team.

hex triangles and clover you just shrunk

and a few other you just enlarged

that was before you toldme about that setting

the tool looks like a find and replace tool from word ()

didnt download though cos computer banned at home and school no time...

what about levels where one designed and another made?

i think i have all day Monday i could work on this

for right now you just want
the new license tag
all of them moved into a ct category(author ct)*
versions reset to 1


*you still want them in groups in that folder though
like catfight dogfight and fortress

if i have time i'll also look at nano wingman settings(once i get 1 done it should be the same on all of them)

I'll do that if i do not sleep late and if i feel good(dam allergies)
