Command line scenario editor
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 11:18 pm
Rather than wasting my time carping on about bugs or starting to make maps and not finishing them (one day ...) I have decided to actually do something useful.
The command line WitP scenario editor witpcmd will allow direct interactive and non-interactive editing of WitP scenario files. Functionality will be limited but extensible by use of batch files or other scripting mechanisms.
Anyway, it doesn't actually do anything yet but here is the help screen to give an idea:
Obviously there will be overlap with witpload, witpcheck and WitPExcel but we could always do with another way to skin the cat ...
If anyone has any ideas for additional simple commands that operate either on a single slot or entire table please speak up.
