R5 is practically done

I'd need a ETA for this. When it comes out, I get busy.

I'm gonna rework my racemap... No point in waiting for R5

Edit: ouch, I forgot there's like 200 alephs

Edit#2: What about rocks? will those get randomized? Do I need to put a * in their name too?

Hey Vly,

You can open up the map files programatically and modify them. I did this when I was experimenting with randomly generating maps.
Which map file are we talking about? I'll give it a go tonight

I'd love to have a go racing

Rocks placed in a map are not randomized. If you want randomized rocks, then leave the sector empty in AME

Hey Vly,

If you want, you can use this app to update *all* aleph/rock/sector/base names on selected maps...
It uses KGJV's IGCMap.cpp (etc) code from AME ported to C#.
The source is included if you want to play around and do different operations

IGC Map Helper

Hope this helps get us racing soon!

nice stuff. I see you ported my old code to C# but, just so you know, you could have used IGCLib 1.0 instead (although it needs testing

). IGCLib is a managed lib to read/write IGC files (both cores & maps). It's made from Allegiance sources so it'll always stay in sync with future changes made to the game.

Cool, thanks KG!

I just saw this, awesome! I wish I had waited before manually doing it

I also checked the core and I think that Andon was right about Giga's garrison. The core used to work, but I was getting errors in AME. I didn't check if there were problems but fixed it anyway.
