Thanks gnartsch - I've updated the link on the first page.

Edit. That seems to be an automatic download. I've now downloaded 6 times! :)

Well I don't remember doing that but I'll certainly check it out (if I can find out how) although it doesn't do that for other zips.

Edit. This is a new installation of Firefox which I didn't install. I've now seen that zips are automatically downloaded (under certain circumstances) so either it came already as 'download' or the person who installed it selected that option. All is fine now so, thank you.

If this is ever updated again, how about adding the command "Add Hilighted to Group" (multibrush_the_highlight) to the Multibrush menu? This multibrushes all currently highlighted objects, which is darn handy for, among other things, deleting all the currently highlighted objects, since apparently (and surprisingly) there's no command to do this directly.

Sounds good. I'll try it

I think you need to fix the download links ;)

Thanks for updating ;)

But I can't test it that much since I customized my installation very much. but I'll check whatever is new to me.

The first thing that irritates me.
In my normal installation (german) my convict.osm is from 27.03.2000 - 03.27.2000 (whatever) but only 123kb large
Your file matches my convict.osm from my english installation. 1999 and 1069kb.
EDIT: Just realized that I already copied an earlier version of your Toolkit into my English installation. Original file from CD (complete Collection): 07-18-2000. 123kb
I guess it's the combined version for T1/G. The convict.osm from my T1 Gold is 1167kb a bit bigger tough. Can't say if it matters using the T1 convict.osm since T2 has it's own gen.osm. Would this give access to the old scripts? (Always used public scripts when I needed one of these). Maybe someone who knows more about scripting could help answer these questions.

dark.cfg
An additional setting i have there:

; setting for elliptic pick distance
elliptic_pick_mod 0.25
Don't know what does and where I got it.

settings I dindn't have:
8 channels by default and enable joystick

Different settings, these describe buttons positions afaik:
german: rect_loading 3,4,0,1,2
english: rect_loading 3,4,0,2,1
Can't see a difference here

Ok this one is interesting:
german: rect_newgame 4,5,6,0,1,2,3
english: rect_newgame 4,5,6,7,0,1,2,3
Adding the 7 into my line will rearrange the buttons in the NewGame menu. (It's a mess)
Test 1 - unedited file with the 7: english version looked fine
Test 2 - used the german line: looked fine as well
Test 3 - added the 7 again -> Messed up, even going back to the original setting with ctrl+z, the buttons were still wrong. Very strange.

EDIT here as well: Checked my original english files, there is no 7 in that line and it's rect_loading 3,4,0,1,2 as well.


Maybe needs further testing and more knowledge to assume which is the correct one. Maybe don't include this file


I also have more warning messages (in english as well), direct sound, DirectX, no d3ddevice EDIT: Have them in the english original as well.

•default.bnd
Maybe later....

[...more comes with edit]

•DromEd.cfg
Here are missing some options. I don't know if you let them out intentionally but at least the description of the new obj_tree_as_room_create should be added.
I know this is a matter of taste but I would suggest setting the decimal to 3 instead of 4. 2 is definitely to less. 0.001 is already extreme small I see no point in adding another digit. Without further increasing the box size they

•User.cfg
I have no idea if this setting is obsolete with the recent hardware but I still have it written in there:

;For the nVidia TNT, TNT2, GeForce:
;If the Scouting Orb isn't working properly
;use the alternate effect. Remove the semicolon
;from the next line.
;ForceCameraOverlaySimple

Why is safe_texture_manager activated? When I tested it in the past I got crashes with this activated. Well others might get some when it's deactivated...

edit_screen_depth 16 is already set in dromed.cfg but shouldn't matter.

Setting the starting level/cheat can also be made available. Got these in both versions as well.



•Menu.cfg
This file really makes a mappers work much more easier. Amazing work :angel:
I definitely need to import some of the ideas especially the layout.

I don't really understand you menu_checkmark_cfg, well I can't say that I understand the whole option very good. It's for the dot checkmark If I understand it correctly. menu_checkmark_cfg 4 0 5 9 5 13 4 9 makes much more sense to me. Maybe you can explain to me what your setting is doing.


And here are a few of mine which would be a good idea to add, maybe I suggest something you already have and didn't realize. I will add the necessary code below you just have to find the right place for it :):
Uncomment the custom scripts: NV, tnh, KD, public... Even if they are not included in a standard installation these options are a big help. Those who are not familiar with the menu.cfg would never look there to activate it and those who don't know about the scripts might get interested.
Swap texture command
NVDebug!!!! Like the scripts this needs an extra file but it's the best thing for mission testing and this menu controls it. Btw. Why don't include the scripts in the Tool folder.
Colorpicker & Palett color picker. Gives back HSB or RGB
Show VHots
Camera Marker
Find starting point, sometimes very usefull
