Title: BTB and CTL files Post by: cuthalion on April 29, 2015, 09:02:11 AM Hi,
could someone remind me how I edit BTB and CTL files? I found btb-xml tool in downloads and some information about it in Wiki. But I have not found information on editing ctl so far. I have something from 3 years ago but I believe it is out of date: there were a lot of findings in Chaos Dwarves and Ghabry was going to update a lot of functions... Anyway I do not remember how I use to- and from- ctl conversion properly... Title: Re: BTB and CTL files Post by: olly on April 29, 2015, 05:43:13 PM How to create New Mods and Campaigns ->

Because I lost interest, too. I'm only lurking around here. Title: Re: BTB and CTL files Post by: cuthalion on May 13, 2015, 03:57:36 PM An update in script btbxml.py
It places counters at Chunk6000 subrecords - nodes that position troops and are used as coordinates at battle map. It makes btb-ctl editing easier: A lot of places in CTL where these subrecords are addressed by sequence number, and in previous version one had to manually count from 0 up to 100 to find required subrecord every time. Could someone place it in downloads? [attachment=1] |
