Quib, All I did to get the jpgs for the site was open up the dds and resize the canvas to (i think 436x506?) the actual display size in game. saved as jpg, quality 7 or so.
I was thinking a bit back that the XML_LOC needs to generate on generation.
This is what I think we the game plan from here on out should be.
- Work on the updater and add an ini, which will tell what files to dl, or type.
- Write in something where we can tell it what to get.
- Some type of scripting language or variables or something.
- Maybe even look at a txt file online and use that for settings instead.
- Add an updates section to the updater. Just like SOE's basically.
- Updates table in db
- updates will right to a text file that will simply display (maybe simple html formatting. Maybe just a couple sizes, couple colors) in a text box in-prog
- The database can also feed an updates section on the site.
- Finish adding the JPG maps to the site, get all the zonerects for the zones that are already there. Add the maps for zone we have maps for but arent there yet. That is if there are any.
- After that, move on to higher tier maps (for us) the higher level people wanting to help can go on now.
Thats all I have for now
I think we should continue on the very modular path keeping most of our scripting and stuff VERY easy to change up without any programming changes.
