What's the correct way to employ CS?
#12

Hi Acajoun,
So you downloaded a file called "map_FMB_tools.rar"
If you open it with winzip or winrar it contains a folder "map_FMB_tools". If you doubleclick on "map_FMB_tools" you see that it contains 2 zip files namely Act_093.zip and CMapv3.zip. Now doubleclick on Act_093.zip. You see it contains 3 files: Act.jar, mapsize.txt and readme.txt. select all these 3 files and drag them to the folder you want to use the actor tool, I suggest something like this
C:\Documents and settings\owner\ACTORS_TOOL\
So once the 3 files are inside the
C:\Documents and settings\owner\ACTORS_TOOL\
and you placed your actors.static there too, you can run the "extract" command.
Please read carefully the readme.txt too and don't forget to use the correct Mapsize number, as Asheshouse already told you.
The actor tool is just the file Act.jar. It uses the Mapsize.txt.
To get the correct mapsize number there are several ways. For most land maps, go into FMB, and place an object as much to the north as possible. Save mission. Open mission with notepad and you'll see a line like

0_bld House$FurnitureTreeLine 1 20000.11 250000.23 330.00

The number 250000 is the number to be in mapsize.txt.

There's another method, but about that later...
Good luck..
