A little Object Copying Program

[Linux_gene3]

Okay, after finally getting back onto the Fourm after Lossing my old account for chad. I had to resignup with Linux_gene3.

Okay, last night i was doing some brige building, and I decided not to worry about editing 20 Objects to be placed onto each other making a support for the brige. Normaly I made the brige 1000 feet into the air, so i was not going edit 125 objects that really stood only 8 feet apart from each other. So this is what i did that lovely night. Well sitting in my room, i started editing away at the .OBJ Groups and found i could easly make a program were by YOU put in the Object you want to be Duplicated over and over again at such a high, alt, width, and also rotation. It works by simply doing the calcuations for you. So infact last night, after doing the finaly lines to the code. I tested the program out copyied the output code from the program into the .OBJ File. went into the aces high editor and pasted the Group Objects into the program. It worked, i was quite happy with it. You have never seen 125 objects stacked onto each other to make a single long rod.

My qestion is do you guys really want it.

Chad out.

-------------------
what does the program do?

Okay the program simply makes getting somthink like 400 objects stack onto each other much easyer. First Get the Object name from the .obj file. After you have achive getting this. Go into the program in command prompt. AFter doing so, Type in the name of the object ( return ), then the number of copys you want of the object. The seporation of the objects from each other. AND its done. Copy the text into group .obj and you shall have 100+ what ever you want.

This program is in beta stages.

Test data is above for comparrision. File is attached. if you need to contact me about any futur projects that you may want me to undertake. doodo477@hotmail.com, or contact me in aces high i am F6bomber .

Source code is bellow for people intrested in the way the program was made.

source code
-----------------

No copy right , edit it. and suggest any changes.

#include

int main()
{
char string1[20];
int object = 0, hight = 0, number, hightin;

printf( " Please enter in the Name of the object wanting copy\n");
scanf( "%s", string1);
printf( " Please enter in the copys you want of the object\n");
scanf( "%d", &object );
printf( " Please enter in the hight sep between the copy objects\n");
scanf( "%d", &hightin );

for ( number = 1; number <= object; number++){
printf( "%s%d,BG400,18.139,%d,-14.917,0.0000,1.5708,0.0000,1280,2,0,-1.00,-1.0,-1,%d,0,0\n",string1,number,hight,number );
hight += hightin;
}
return 0;
}

Hello Linux_gene3

I've download the file and my computer show it as a winzip file.

If I try to open it, the computer says "Can not open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive".

I downloaded it again, without any luck.

You may need to explain exactly what I need to do with the file if I'm doing something wrong.

P.S  This reminds me of a great line spoken by Paul Reiser in one of the episodes from the TV show MAD ABOUT YOU

Okay, do me a favor. Talk to me like I'm four.

Me a computer dummy

I sent you the update of the latest version by E-mail, also anyone else wanting a copy please email me at doodo477@hotmail.com, this enables me to contact you on updates that i should be doing in the next coming days.

the updates will include the options to make ramp, spiral roads, anythink that would normaly take people ages to do. Like the earlyer versions, it ask for the length of the object, high, size, length. All information is included into the readme file of the program.

Also working on a nice little program, TRYing to build a player that enables you to watch the films outside aces high and also lets you capture the film into a avi file. This is still on the drawing board and i dont have any idea when it will be complete. Cya!
