What is this? It's a small web utility to help Tribes2 mappers with a few annoying quirks of the Tribes2 map editor. It has the following features:
- Save NameTags - By far the most annoying thing about the T2 editor is that it overwrites all your carefully named Objects with things like \x01693 - this operation adds a dynamic field to your object saving your original name...
- Restore NameTags - ...and this option restores your saved names from the specially named dynamic field over the cryptic \x01693 lines - IF you saved them earlier.
- Delete garbage lines - This deletes the following lines from your .mis file:
- damageTimeMS
- deleteLastProjectile
- inUse
- lastDamagedBy
- lastDamagedByTeam
- lastProjectile
- ObjectiveCompleted
- prevTeam
- ready
- recharged
- repairedBy
- soiledByEnemyRepair
- teamDamageStateOnZap
- VehicleHercVehicle
- wasDisabled
- zappingSound
- zapSound
All operations are done on my webserver, presenting the changed .mis file in a textarea for you to copy - no changes are made to your local version (which I couldn't do even If I wanted, this being a web application ;-) ). So you can just try it, review the changes made and then save the output from the textarea to your mission file (after backing it up).
I hope this is useful - comments go to (email) sprottlefreak -AT- nope.org
