TD Mapping Help Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Hi

After some people finally found interest in good old TD mapping here some very old txt files i found on my HDD.
These are not from me, but explain quite well how to make a map with triggers and stuff.
The textfiles:  TD_tuts.zip ( 9.8K ) Number of downloads: 492
(take a look on the date of the files )

make AI rebuild destroyed Buildings:
the Baseit tool allows the AI to rebuild destroyed Buildings:  BASEIT.zip ( 10.49K ) Number of downloads: 445

Use this on your map with already all enemy Buildings included in your map and it generates automatically the [Base] section in your maps ini file.
You can then still remove some of the buildings you dont want the ai to rebuild.
Hint: remove all enemy buildings (except conyard) from your [STRUCTURES] list to have an enemy that is forced to build up his base too. (like the player)

And finally my missions here on the 9. post

this is an old DOS command line tool
copy it and your map into the same folder.
open a command console Start/run/cmd.exe
change to the folder and start baseit.exe
it is selfexplaining without any parameter
and with a map as parameter it reads all enemy [Structures] and adds them to the [Base] section (make a copy of your map before!)

Can you post some screenshots? This confuses me! I know how to get to the command line but the rest.......

after you open cmd.exe there stands something like C:\blablapath (blablapath=path where you have baseit and your missions ini file)
simple type "baseit scgXXea.ini/scbXXea.ini" (XX= number of your map)
then chose the building from the list you want to be rebuild and press space to toggle between yes and no
finaly press enter to save the mission.
(stands all there btw, when you open the programm)

right now i see that the text is on some fields a bit messed up, but it still works
under rebuild stands "áâä" for yes and "àa" for no. no idea why.

do we really have to do this anyway?

an enemy that doesn't rebuilds his base is boring. And the formula that calculates the buildings position into one number is quite strange.
Or do you mean the more general question "why spending time for TD"
