Re: SE4 Templatizer Ready for Download!
 

1) I have a debian install in colinux (gcc 3.3.3) at hand now, would you wrote some instructions how to build win32 binaries in linux? I see one need to mess with a makefile, but where?

2) se4 is unable to load text files in unix format (lf). Please add conversion to dos format (crlf).

3) Do I strictly need jre 1.5 or 1.4.x will be sufficient?

4) Thanks for getting rid of dotnet and all the work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

edit: about #1 - just have realized that compilation in cygwin and native *nix will be identical http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif So ignore #1.

Ed:

I have read the instructions in the calc and I think you have to be a PC-Wizard to follow them. Why such pain? Why not "click on the install file". I think this will be better for the average player (er..., modder) assuming modders are a bit more "PC Skilled" than players. It is noticeable that people who make calc is a bit "Win-hater" but I think that we have to cope with the fact that windows systems are majority. Linux systems are said to run very well, but not all of us have the time and will to become computer technicians in order to learn how to use/install such systems.
On the other hand, I wish to thank you for your work in making such a program.Ithink it fills an important place in my SE4 Toolbox!!

@Aiken:
2. Oops! I will do that! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gifops:
3. Yes, you need 1.5 because I was lazy and used generic classes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Java is pretty insistent about pushing updates at you so you might already have it.
4. What's so bad about .NET compared to Java? The runtimes are about the same size to install... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

@leo1434:
Yeah, sorry about all the trouble... I've just been wanting to get something out there. Calc is licensed under the LGPL, though, so I'm pretty sure I'd be allowed to include a Windows binary with my distribution of the templatizer, as long as I provided a link to the source code as well. (Anyone want to back me up on that? I don't feel like perusing the whole license again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
As for an installer, I'd have to see... I've never found a really decent installer generator, and the program doesn't require a whole lot of files to run. But I could whip up a little batch file or Java program which would copy the files to convenient locations, and maybe even put them in your PATH environment variable so you can call them from anywhere...

It will be #5:
5) Send Java there dotnet is already buried http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
5.1) Don't take it seriously, I'm just nitpicking http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I bet that lgpl allow you to redistribute compiled libraries if you put a license and credits files into your package. But you better ask about it in the calc mailing list, I think.

Re: SE4 Templatizer Ready for Download!
 

All right, I've asked the primary author of calc for permission to include a Windows binary with the templatizer... we'll see how that goes! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: SE4 Templatizer Ready for Download!
 

OK, I fixed the bug with the file format, and also fixed the Linux/UNIX shell script so it can actually pass command line arguments to the templatizer.

3.0.5 bugfix release
 

Fixed a bug in the templatizer - it didn't like when I divided an array item by something; it treated the slash as a comment! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif New version attached.

Re: 3.0.5 bugfix release
 

Hey, I found out about this Java library called JEP which can do pretty much everything that calc does, so hopefully we'll soon have a fully Java-based templatizer - no more compiling C code to run it on windows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
