Well, how about that! I changed the program so that it splits Force and All Players triggers into the 8 player .txt files. Those triggers will keep their Trigger titles, like "Trigger(Player1, Player2, Player3)" or Trigger("Force 1"), but a simple find-and-replace in Notepad++ or a similar utility should fix that easily if you want the actual order that your triggers will fire in, after putting them back in SCMDraft. This wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! After using this, doing a few find&replaces, then pasting back into SCMDraft in order from P1-8, this should produce the actual order that triggers will run in. I wonder if organizing them like this will reduce lag in SC at all, since it has to take SC some time to check all the triggers too.

Edit: added some functionality. Here's the Readme:

Trigger Filter.exe v2.00
By Vrael@USEast:

This program has 3 modes:

1). Split mode - A trigger containing multiple players in the Trigger(" "){ line will be filtered into multiple player files
All Force triggers will be filtered into all of their respective players
Triggers with one player will be filtered into one file
(creates runtime order after some find&replace tweaking)

2). Dump mode - Triggers with one player will be filtered into one file
All other triggers will be filtered into a 9th "dump" file

3). Separate mode - Triggers with one player will be filtered into one file
Triggers with one force will be filtered into one file
Triggers with multiple players will be filtered into multiple player files



Program Instructions:
1). Copy text triggers from SCMDraft into a .txt file
2). Place Trigger Filter.exe and a text file of your triggers "triggers.txt" or "bobs_guns.txt" whatever you like
in the same folder.
3). Run Trigger Filter.exe (double click or whatever method you prefer)
4). Follow program instructions



For unused forces, simply input an invalid force name like "Doesn't exist" or "YouSuck"

Well, it works Just a bit much to enter everything, but I guess since I'm not using it often it's not really an issue, nice job

Hmm, well, I went ahead and decided to work on a bit of a menu system for it, tell me what you think, if you like it I can add it to the rest of the program:

lol! Very nice Falk, you clearly know a bit more C++ than I do (no idea how to add colors, for examle ). I don't really think it needs the menu or anything because it's really a very simple program to do a simple task, but if you want to go ahead and post your version with the colors and menu that's fine with me, it's clearly open source, source code right in the .zip and all. Only thing you should do for your menu is have an escape sequence for people who don't agree to the terms of the disclaimer. It doesn't explicitly say what to do if you don't agree to the terms and conditions (not like it really matters since it's like, SEN and no one else using it, doubt anyone's going to be suing anyone, but still it's a nice thought).

And now that I think about it, I guess you're right I coulda used loops for a lot of the stuff I brute-forced... oh well! lol. It was mostly copy-paste for the brute stuff anyway, didn't take too long. No bug/glitches or anything though I hope?

Well, I just have a bit more experience with visuals, from working on my little RPG.


It seems to work perfectly for me, but yeah, that's one thing that I've learned with programming, to reduce brute-forcing as much as possible, especially with large projects, it was fine in this case, since you only needed to do it once, but if you're trying to change something in a brute-forced program it's a total hassle..

the menu in the sexy exe doesn't show up properly for me. Btw, can you explain me how you did the colors?

Hmm, maybe you have your console set to something different than the norm.

Basically, to do it I used two functions I got from Farty a while ago, setcolor, and gotoxy, setcolor you can kinda get using the system("color <insert hex here>") command, however, that colorizes the entire windows the same, so if you want different colors, you need to use setcolor, here's the two functions:



I think they both require windows.h

the problem with the sexy exe is that:
-the arrow is in the wrong line.
It jumps between "Dump File", "All Seperate Files" and the black below it...

O rly? That is very odd.. Works perfectly fine for me, I wonder what causes the difference on your system..

I think I found the problem. C++ is compiled directly into machine code, which can be specific to the architecture of the processor/other hardware and the operating system. I think that's what is causing the problems here, not the code itself.

Maybe someone like SI could help us out in making it more platform-compatible. I'll e-mail him.
