Coders

As many of you kno there are very few coders around for JA, but I've noticed a few of you code or are learning, SO: Would anyone here be interested in helping with the revival of the Republic Commando mod?

Just to add to this a little, I now need a few specific jobs: 1. The most complicated, will require some research too. Get onto the MB2 guys and find out as much as you can: how they got 22 weapons as opposed to 16, class systems, class number limitations, weapon upgrades etc. 2: Making NPCs use multiple weapons, if possible, by commanding them to. 3. Editing/ making new force powers, we need the vibroblade as a force power. There must be someone here who can code! Redsaurus? Anyone?

Hang on a minute: Can xcode be used to write code for JA?

YES!

Theoretically you'll need to know C, but you can do a bit of coding without using copy/pasting from open-source mods and just changing some small bits.

was that "YES!" sudden realisation and excitment? Or frustration after about the 999999th time of saying that to someone?

Anywho, what about compiling these? or is that not neccessary?

Hm, probably closer to the first one.

You can compile in xcode just by hitting "Build"

Can i use xcode to make new automater scripts to run things such as Rendering all of a skybox with Terragen

redsaurus · **Posted:** Sat Aug 05, 2006 6:25 pm

I think you could use Applescript to do that

redsaurus · **Posted:** Sat Aug 05, 2006 7:10 pm

With terragen open, your world/atm/etc. loaded, try running this applescript after changing the necessary bits:

Code:

with timeout of 9999 seconds
tell application "Terragen"
   activate
   set image width to 960
   set image height to 960
   set camera zoom to 1
   set image destination to file "<Filepath goes here>"
   set camera bank to 0
   
   set image name to "yoursky_ft"
   set camera pitch to 0
   set camera heading to 180
   render
   
   set image name to "yoursky_bk"
   set camera pitch to 0
   set camera heading to 0
   render
   
   set image name to "yoursky_lf"
   set camera pitch to 0
   set camera heading to 270
   render
   
   set image name to "yoursky_rt"
   set camera pitch to 0
   set camera heading to 90
   render
   
   set image name to "yoursky_up"
   set camera pitch to 90
   set camera heading to 90
   render
   
   set image name to "yoursky_dn"
   set camera pitch to 90
   set camera heading to -90
   render
end tell
end timeout
