[Mac App] Modded or Original

Post by bcnipod »

Here is a little something I threw together a while back that helps me a bunch when i need to organize my maps. It will tell you if the map has been rebuilt, or if the map has had some dependacy swaps, and if it is an original non-modded map.

enjoy, i hope someone finds it useful.

Edit OOPS! i made a typo on the original that i forgot to fix. here is a fixed version: http://root.7forum.info/halo-related-applications-f1/

This seems very very usefull. I'm not going to download b/c I hardly ever download anything, it's not just this. I only download stuff if it's really epic, which brings me to my next point:

This is really bad release timing. You got this out, and now anybody that would notice it probably won't because of the Converter that was just released.

But yeah, this seems like something Very Very Usefull, especially for people (like me) that mod maps, and then forget, and then get angry when they try to batch extract it to make another mod, and then figure out later that it's already modded...yeah you get the idea.

Basic dialects are simple to pick up if you are good with statically typed languages (C-family or Java not JS) and/or dot syntax languages. ObjC doesn't fall into either of those categories though if you're using it the way it was meant to be used. Basic isn't necessarily a good language, but I find compiling an app with a working GUI much quicker and simpler in RB even if it is a bit limited to what kind of low level work it can do.

Other cross platform languages:
C, C++, Java, Perl and Python. Special considerations of course need to be made for cross platform performance with a given language, especially when implementing GUI's. You have to be using libraries that compile on or to run on your target systems. Java and Realbasic as the simplest to program with for cross platform.

ok. currently i know Java, Unix, and Objective C. and the Java i know nothing of how to do this app in. Unix i could not do since windows would not be able to run it and i write all my Obj-C in Xcode, so it might work but the GUI would have to be redone.

...unix isn't language. You mean shell scripting with like shebang, awk or perl? You could use objc, but would have to use open frameworks rather than the cocoa frameworks (try gnustep maybe). Which means no NS or CF objects period. You'd have to stick with GCC compliant objc code and then compile it on a windows box using cygwin. Not fun. At least Java would be simpler even if it is horribly slow and at least on macs ugly. It shouldn't be too hard to write this in java though. Java not Javascript.
