[Tool] Universal static.ini checker for all mod maps - zipzapp - 05.09.2009

If beeing unable to save a mission with a special map this prog checks your static.ini for missing objects and doubled or irregular entrys.

Usage:

Java must be installed.

Expand zip to an empty folder.

Throw your static.ini (...\mods\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects\) in that folder.
Throw the actors.static of the map in question (...\mods\mapmods\maps\\..) also in that folder. The real name of this file doesn't matter as long as the term "actor" is in it. If not, just rename it containing the term "actor".

Run the prog.

Missing/wrong entrys are stored in a file "missing.txt" in that folder.

Search and install mods containing the missing objects. To find the mod in question, find the missing object in the "complete_static.ini" (I think all object mods ever published at AAA until now are in here. Future mods not, of course). Then scroll upwards until you find a title line like this:

//===========================================================================
[***]
Title FabianFred object Mods
//===========================================================================

The title usually gives the mods name and will help to find it.

Delete/edit doubled or irregular entrys in your static.ini.
Deleting doubled entrys is optional, they don't seem to hurt.
After saving your original static.ini copy the new one into the \std\....\objects folder.

hi zipzapp Big Grin

I ran this after having a map not save missions. It's the first time this has happened to me in ages, I thought I had every posssible object available.
The map not saving is the new TC_Hawaii_Islands map.
I ran the checker, and it shows the following objects are missing:
buildings.Plate$AsphaltTurn
buildings.House$Bus_NAAFI
buildings.House$RAF_Bus
buildings.House$GuyOtterBr
buildings.House$US_Bus
buildings.House$GuyOtterBl

Does anybody know which mod these objects are a part of, and if so, where I could get it?
Thanks in advance 8)

EDIT: Never mind, found the offending objects hiding away. Dragged them out into the sunlight, and all is good now! A most amazing tool, saving hours of frustration. Well done, mate!

Hello,

Filefront reports an error, file unavailable, when I try to download. (Past two days.)

Hoping this will get my install of the Channel Map working properly.

Cheers,
