Getting more information out of the Actors.static files.
#3

Okay, I just read it over. I'm sorry to bother you in regards to why they "didn't output". I didn't take a closer look at it when I really should of.

In that case, it does indeed work. However, why the placeholders? And, is there any way to actually get how the game sees them?

Basically, here's what I'm trying to do. I want to see how uncompressed actors.static files look like uncompressed. Like, for example (this is psuedocode):

Code:
Psuedocode Example

  0_AFT builder.MapActors$Takeoff 1 17225.6 5624.396 9150.0 0.0 null

What I'm trying to figure out, is how to be able to place airfields and airfield waypoints into standard mission code. Since Microwave and you (FC) made FMB+, and since I was originally poking through the game code before I realised that the tool existed (great work by the way), I realised that airfields could be placed like a standard object. I'm figuring that the same can be done with airfield code. I'm not sure if it's been already done. Heck, I've searched thoroughly through this forum to find any references to things such as this. I mean, other than having terrain features, the actors.static is pretty much just a much more extensive version of a mission file, right? I mean, the waypoint and placement system seem to share a lot in common.

Again, sorry if I did overlook a tool or post which already covers whichever I'm trying to find. And if not, is there some way to translate that to the actual code terms that the game uses? (As in similar to my psuedocode).

Thanks, and sorry if I frustrated you.
