I've completed work on a mapping program for win32. Although I feel it's quite stable, I'm still claiming it to be beta. There are many objectives for this project: - Parse complete history files, including single turn results. (Histories aren't more than a file of appended judge messages) - Graphically, and intuitively display results, nearly eliminating need to look at judge files. - Step through histories in a simple manner so as to quickly, and clearly become familiar with past moves. (Handy when taking over a power and wishing to view the aggressiveness of powers in previous turns.) - Allow for easy installment of new variant maps. - Allow for zooming areas of the map. A few points which I will mention are: - Only standard map is provided with this release. (Volunteers will hopefully build new maps :) - Most of the graphics are small bitmaps, and as such may be customised as desired. - I've tested the program, and it's supporting files on Win95 only, and as such can only guarantee it to be functional on that environment. Theoretically it should run on WinNT. - I expect to make regular updates as new ideas are suggested, and bugs fixed. I welcome anyone to submit new ideas, report bugs, or generally make comments. The files to download may be found by anonymous ftp at: Devel.diplom.org in /pub/diplomacy/Sources Soon: ftp.ugcs.caltech.edu in /pub/diplomacy/Sources (I hope :) grab: bdmap32.txt and bdmap32.zip which contains a setup program to run. Please, though, don't ask for support of win3.x, as this is impossible. (Unless you want to port it yourself :)
