Title: Goldout beta (A TOOL FOR MAPPERS)
Post by: WNxMurktinez on July 30, 2008, 02:22:31 am: Question for the mappers. Do you like typing up your loadout for your map? I'm sure you said no. So, heres an easy to use little tool for you. I call it Goldout. Take a look.

It's pretty simple. First, you load your VMF or BSP. Then select your weapons and items for your spawns, as well as your entity delay times.

goto Output> Create Loadout and there you go. Complete with (optional) syntax coloring.

loadouts are no longer a pain in the ass. I'll be releasing the source soon. Mappers enjoy. If you find any bugs just PM on here.

Post by: WNxMurktinez on July 31, 2008, 05:55:25 pm: another update...fixed 2 bugs and added syntax coloring to the output text. shouldn't be anymore bugs. i found one that would replace the bsp file with the loadout text when you saved. sorry if anyone was affected by this.

Post by: Jonathon [SSL] on August 02, 2008, 05:45:18 am: THANK YOU!

It's so frustrating when none of my weapons spawns work because I missed one of those "{" and now I also won't have to go to my scripts folder when I cant remember the name of a weapon entity.

Brilliant, thanks!

I don't know....

once the loadout is created it really isnt that hard to open up notepad and edit it. just look for the uniquename and change the value.

Post by: Shaken not Stirred on August 04, 2008, 07:24:07 am: I'm not complaining, it's just something that makes me feel weird. It's practically in every language anyway so I pretty much got used to it.
