Hi

i'm enjoying the game but there is a something that really annoy me, it's the lack of a browsable techtree. I found one opendocument in the source that looks like very incomplete so i want to make something else, sexier. Idealy i'm wanting to have something like what someone did for warzone.

I'm trying to read everything about the script (*.ufo), but i do not know if i will have write a parser from scratch (i'm a php boy) or if there is something already working that i can re-use.

so what could help me:
->if there are resources that are not at http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Category:UFO-Scripts
->if the format used in the ufo script is well known, tells it to me cause i do not recognize it.

regards

i don't even know whether this tool still works - but you could give src/tools/ufo2dot.pl a try - this script will generate a graphviz file that you can tweak further

jerikojerk:
thanks for your answer.

1/ no it does not work anymore... there are one unknown requirement ...
2/ there are already lot of stuff implemented ( 3 years ago )
3/ but it's perl and i'm not familiar with this language

jerikojerk:
Hi

i've got a patch that put the script back on the tracks.
i'm sorry i still don't have an account to submit the patch myself.

i would gladly post the generated picture BUT it's a 2Mb png file.

Mattn:
thanks a lot for the patch i will check it and publish it
