Modding / hacking progress summary

[yuriks]

Just finished a Python script that will import/export the shot data to/from tyrian.hdt to/from a XML file. Check it out, should make editing shots a bit easier (AKA, no hex editor required).

EDIT: An example:



   <weapon index="009B">
       <acceleration value="0"/>
       <accelerationx value="0"/>
       <aim value="0"/>
       <circleSize value="0"/>
       <drain value="0"/>
       <max value="8"/>
       <multi value="8"/>
       <patterns>
           <entry attack="4" bx="0" by="0" del="255" sg="191" sx="0" sy="10"/>
           <entry attack="4" bx="0" by="0" del="255" sg="197" sx="5" sy="5"/>
           <entry attack="4" bx="0" by="0" del="255" sg="198" sx="10" sy="0"/>

or maby you could just give us the download link ;D

[yuriks]

It's on the OpenTyrian SVN, sorry, I think I forgot to say that. Any further attempts at documentation and tools should also be available here: opentyrian.googlecode.com/svn/classic/trunk/doc/

[death]

[yuriks]

[death]

yeeaah, do you mind not burying it in there?

[mrdeedeedee]

great creation, but how do you use it as in where do you put it? do you run it with something besides python? wheres the output file? im good with computers but i blow at programming or understanding programming languages

[yuriks]

It's a command line program, it gives help when you run it without any arguments. You only need Python, afaik.

[mrdeedeedee]

alright... i tried but i still dont get it can u just tell me how to do it plz? >_<
