Ok guys, time for a small update on this tool:

I added a small but critical function, now you can choose which tags to search the tacticstype.ini and/or modify it accordingly.

For example, you may  now choose to only re-arrange the  DEVICETYPES and the SHIPCLASS, to make an example.


Tacticstype tool 2.2

You'll need the latest Java build for this program to work.

This is an open-source project, so you can get the source files here, via SVN: http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/TTool/

Feedback is, as always, welcome.

This is the 2.2 version, if you continue reading you'll found the description and download link of the old 1.0 one.

Hi fellas, a few weeks ago I completed and thoroughly tested a small tool I made in C that reads the tacticstypes.ini or efx.ini (or mod_efx.ini, makes no difference) and has as an output file a txt with the free slots for DEVICETYPE, SHIPCLASS, SHIPTYPE and EFX on said files. It can also make you a new tacticstype or efx.ini file with all the numbers of devicetypes, shipclasses, etc, in numerical order.

It's quite simple tool, less than 350 lines, so if you for some reason want the source file I'd be more than pleased to give it to you.

here's a link to it: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/tacticstype-tool

mirror: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7664154/tacticstype_tool.exe

Usage: Open a windows terminal (either type "cmd" in the search tab or go to run and type "cmd" (withouth the inverted comas in both cases, of course)

Then navigate towards the directory where you placed the tool (type cd and the path) and then invoke it like this: (or just type tacticstype_tool.exe and this message will appear in the command promt)

Usage: first parametres: -t it means that you wish to read the tacticstype.ini file.  -e it means that you wish to read the efx.ini or mod_efx.ini file

Second parametres: -r it means that you want to only check for the available numbers, not modify it. -m it means that you want to modify the file by placing all the tag's (SHIPCLASS, SHIPTYPE, EFX, etc) numbers in ascending order -mr or -rm you've guessed it, it'll do both of above things.

Third parametre: the third and last parametre is the path (absolute or relative) to the file to be read The newly created files will be dumped on the directory from where this program was called.

Example of usage: tacticstypes_tool.exe -t -r c:Program FilesNexus - The Jupiter Incidentmodsuniversetacticstacticstypes.ini

I've downloaded and tried the program, I tried the command tacticstype_tool.exe and when I got the program open inside the command window and used the actual command -t -r pathdirectory and it displayed invalid ammount of arguments... Any ideas?

Mularac:
uhm... that's odd. Could you post a snapshot of your command prompt when issuing the command?

Mularac:
Hi again. Seeing how aweful it was to use this tool in a command promt, I decided to completely re-do the project, in Java this time.

It now has a more powerful algorithm and a (somewhat crappy) graphich interface.
