I'm with M and Sebes on this one but can't wait to see the results from our 'traffic' guys....

Thanks

Wow this looks very usefull!

To bad I wouldnt know where to start!

cameron, you can start with Redlotus Tutorial. Ignore what you dont need and go to the paths pages

looks good, but, how it works?

dedgren · « **Reply #24 on:** December 08, 2008, 10:02:51 AM »

Daeley, hey- great tool, and it works perfectly.

Except, as best I can tell, under Windows 64-bit Vista. I used it all the time with 32-bit Vista, but when I replaced my worn out laptop, I didn't have the option to stay with it.

I've tried everything I can think of. The latest Java runtime appears to be installed and working. I get just a flash of the Command Line Screen when I click on either single or multi-path, but then there's nothing. I'm presuming it's just one more in the long list of incompatible stuff (my Palm T|X, for instance- what the heck?), but hoped you might have some insight.

Thanks.

strange, there shouldn't be any platform-specific code in there.

Can you open a command line windows, go to the folder where it's installed and run one of the batch files? If it doesn't work, you should get some sort of (textual) error report.

Thanks, my friend, for the tip. It led me to the issue- I had to manually set up the PATH to include the Java runtime executable. I added "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin" to the end of that environment variable string and PathCreator now works just fine.

Thanks again for developing this great tool.

strange, normally that should be done automatically when you install java. Well, I'm glad it's working now

a birdy whispered some feature requests in my ear...

Yes, yes, yes! Copy, mirror and reverse buttons--those will save so much time. daeley, you are the man!

I don't do paths, but such buttons would be incredible useful for creating T21 exemplar files configurations...

As someone who has just begun the joys of trying , (and I say that loosely) , any addition to this tool that would help some of us (who have no idea what they are doing

) would be appreciated! And if what Andreas says is true , I'm in heaven!!!

Unfortunately, it's only wishful thinking at the moment. But I'll try to plant that idea into the head of as many programmers as I know.

Looks like an early Christmas to me. Daeley, my friend- you are the Man of the Hour! Those improvements would just be fantastic, and I'm only just starting to get a handle on using the tool. It's another great day for SC4.

A karma point on behalf of all of us.

someone order arrows?

Jonathan · « **Reply #36 on:** December 12, 2008, 10:50:53 AM »

Yes please Daeley, that's amazing.
One more suggestion? Could you make it so that when x and y values are clicked (not typed, so you can override) and the value is -/+7.5 and below/above it automatically changes it to -/+8?

Other wise thanks very much for adding to this already great Tool.

dedgren · « **Reply #37 on:** December 12, 2008, 10:55:01 AM »

Another K-point just for the arrows. This is like Christmas morning.

From my own (limited, I must admit) experience, it seems the game will treat endpoints of paths that are close to the edge as if they were on the edge. But I can change it if you like, it's only one or two line of code extra.

edit: ok, it was a bit more than 2 lines code, but it wasn't much work and the effect is quite nice. When you click or drag near the edge, the point will "clip" to ±8.

I'updated the the file to version 1.5

available here: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=546

I've packed it into two runnable .jar files, so no more messing around with .bat files

Just double-click either of the .jar files and it should open.
