::----- readme.txt -----::
injection of this system will enhance the way your favorite place icons work.
in C3 it deletes all the old signposts and favorite place icons and replace
the signposts with DS style ones. you have to find the signposts again.
the upgrades specified later will enable you the create better signposts for
your metarooms aswell. here i will include a list of what all the tags you
can set do, and an example of a fully utilised signpost. as with DS, all
signposts mush have a 1 3 x clasifier. family 1, genius 3, and the species of
your choice. see bottom of this readme
DS upgrades include:
1. ability to specify the starting frame position of the favorite place icon
(alowing multiple signposts and favorite place icons in a single c16/s16 file)
(only effective to icons after you inject this update, see point 8)
2. ability to specify active map position limits (for 2 or more signposts in
the same metaroom) (you can add as many signposts to a metaroom as you want as
long as you can set them up to contain the active area in a rectangle, with no
overlaps)
3. you can specify a different filename for the favorite place icon from the
signpost (you must do this in C3)
4. full backwards compatability to all existing DS style signposts
5. creates multiple lines of favorite place icons in the GUI to prevent them
going off the side of your screen
6. the script will "Sort" the favorite place icons incase a gap apears (you
kill a favorite place icon for whatever reason)
7. can change the amount of favorite place icons on a line with the optional
control panel.(this also moves existing icons past the limit onto a new line
when first injected)
8. resets all "Found" flags on signposts, which then check if they already
have an icon when you find them, and update it instead of creating another 1
based on species number and metaroom it is located.
C3 upgrades:
complete revamp to DS sytle, including all the upgrades specified
Drawback: you always need to specify a filename in C3 else the favorite place
icon is spawned with a blank image because the gall command that gets the
filename in DS isn't available in C3, this means all DS style signposts in C3
will get a blank icon if no filename is specified.
removal of the control panel restores full automatic icons per line.
