I'm very interested in the Status of the SVG Project. I don't have a
lot of free time right now. but I'm C++ Programmer, and would at like
to help. I'm not an XP programmer but I'm willing to learn. Would
like to get up to speed on any current code or starting designs.
Woody
Woody,
Excellent! I would love to continue working on this project, but no other
developers could make the time commitment required. We had some good
volunteers willing to help, but mostly for the testing phase of the project.
Unfortunately, my work has now picked up (60-70 hrs/week), so I cannot make
any commitment at this point either!
I have setup a development web site (include source control facilities)
using SourceForge.net
So if you don't already have a SourceForge account, get one. Also, if not
already familiar with it, learn a bit about CVS.
Send me a private email when you get your sourceforge account and I'll add
you to the developer's list on the project.

Here is a straightforward projects that need doing:
1. Attribute lister and extracter.
One of our users is creating a set of tiles for Dwarven Forge (minature
scenery) pieces to create floorplans. Each symbol will have an attribute
included in it. When the map is completed, Extract Attributes creates a list
of the pieces used, but not in a very useful format. Ideally, the user needs
a list of numbers, part codes and descriptions of the pieces used so that
they can see what DF parts to use, which they can then print out.
To give you an example of how to create a symbol with an attribute for this:
1. Draw the elements of the symbol.
2. Select Symbols >> Define Attribute
3. Set the values as follows:
Tag Text: Part
Prompt: (Blank)
Default Value, say DF1001 10' Corridor
Hidden, Constant, Don't display tag.
4. Place is where the symbol elements are
Define Symbol, including the stuff you drew, and the attribute.
5. Click the Drawing button beneath the Catalog button, scroll down to the
end, insert the symbol you drew.
6. Select Symbols >> Extract Attributes
Intially, all that needs doing is an improvement on Extract Attributes which
displays, for example:
Number Needed Description
7 DF1001 10' Corridors
8 DF1004 20' Rooms
Enhancements to the project could include keeping a record of the parts
available, and warning when they have run out.
Please respond to the list if you are interested.

Simon,
Thanks for the note and I am interested. I'm a bit confused as to whether
this is a graphics project or a programming project.
Any symbol generation is easy. I may need some coaching on the other.
Please let me know.

Programming. We've got someone to draw the symbols and do the data work.
Just use circles with text attributes the same as the symbol names.

Sorry, this post was a little obtuse. I mean, keep the project generic.
Use different colored circles for the symbols, called circle 1, circle 2,
etc, each with an attribute of the same name. Place a bunch of these in the
drawing. The new comman will extract a text list like this:
Elements required to create this map:
10 Circle 1
15 Circle 2
12 Circle 3
...
When this works, it'll then be the symbol creator's job to fit this in with
your command.

Everyone,
Remember that you would not be alone in working on this. This group
includes persons that can make CC2 jump through hoops. (Or rewrite it from
scratch) The other members of this group would love to help you through
creating an XP.
This is a very good project of the novice, but if no one person wants to
take it on, would a group of beginners want to try it as a group project?
So come on and step up to the plate. The journey of a thousand lines of
code starts with an empty project. :-)

I might be interested in doing an XP. I have only limited programming
knowledge, however (up to data structures in C, a bit of java and very small
amount of vb). I do have a pretty good theoretical knowledge and the ability to
learn quickly, just no practical 'non-school-work' programming experience as of
yet.
If someone could point me towards some XP programming info, I could look it over
and see it I'd be up to snuff.
Also, what exactly is this project? I read the last post, and gather that it
has to do with extracting entity info from an already made map. I'm probably
missing some earlier posts on it, the dev list tends to get buried in my inbox
under the cc2-l list..

You should be fine. The XP stuff can be a bit tricky a first sight, but done
give up. Ask all your questions to this group and I'm sure we will be able
answer them all.

The first step is to get the toolkit up and running. You need Visual C++ 5.0
or 6.0 and the XPToolkit from your install CD. There is also a Getting
Started installation of the toolkit. You will find it in message:

And an updated verson in (if the first one isn't updated):

I have been going through the XP information in an effort to do this project. I
can't say that I understood all of it, (especially the assembly parts, but they
aren't really needed if your doing it in C anyway ;)
I'm hoping to start putting some code together either tomorrow night or Sunday,
depending on my schedule. It may be slow going, as I have a patchwork-ish
programming background, but I'll do what I can.
If you want to help out, let me know. I'm sure we could do it faster than by
myself.

I'm the one drawing the symbols and doing the data work.
I'm wondering if the following sounds possible to CC2 XP gurus:
Create a custom entity that would be just like a polygon in
structure (or a rectangle if that makes things easier). The
entity could be visible or not; it doesn't really matter. The
point of the new entity type would be its tooltip.
Whenever the user hovered the mouse cursor over the entity, a
tooltip (or balloon help) would pop up containing whatever text
the mapper had associated with the tooltip.
This way, we could add short map notes to a map that wouldn't
require any clicking on hyperlinks. You could hover your mouse
cursor over different features and get small bits of information,
e.g. "West Mill" or "Manor House" or whatever.
I know custom entities are possible, but I have no idea whether
the hooks exist to get the mouse cursor position, relate that
to the screen position of the tooltip-generating entities, and
then put up a tooltip if the mouse is over one of them. (I
realize some of this is straight Windows programming, but I'm
also concerned that hooking into mouse position, etc. might
mess up CC2.)
Thanks!

Another potential problem I just thought of with this
proposed tooltip entity: Would it cause constant map
redraws as the tooltips disappeared? That would not
be fun.
Chris G.
golden@...
Regardless of the side affects, I like the idea. Even if it is just a short
blurb that tells the user to click for more info I think it would be a very
useful tool.

I think it might be possible to do something to add tooltips to ACTION
entities,
and set them to not display (a current ability). This might be much
easier to
accomplish in the core, so I'll look into it and get back on this subject.

Thanks, I appreciate it! I can well imagine this feature being
wildly used by those who view their CC2 maps onscreen rather
than on paper. (And of course, if the tooltips were added to
the core, we could write a text export command that would har-
vest the text contained within the tooltips, so the new feature
wouldn't be entirely useless for folks who print out their maps.)
I envision the tooltip text entity as being created and edited
by the user much as is a standard CC2 text entity, except without
the font and other format options. (The font, foreground and
background colors, etc. of the tooltip would come from the Windows
system.)
And again, I think a key optimization would be to ensure that CC2
doesn't have to redraw the entire map each time a tooltip dis-
appears. I've noticed that some CC2 dialog boxes, when dismissed,
don't cause a map redraw, whereas others do. It seems (though
I've never researched it) that redraws are triggered only by the
larger dialogs and secondary windows. My hope, then, is that as
the tooltips would be comparatively small, they wouldn't require
a redraw when they vanished.

This would be a fantastic addition!

Most dialogs with previews cause this problem. A redraw is somehow issued
when working with private (mode DL_Private) drawing lists. I have not found
a way to avoid this redraw... :-(
Peter
Is it possible to get the main window handle and save the contents
before opening the dialog? You should be able to close down the dialog,
restore the bitmap, validate the entire window contents, and continue
without forcing a redraw in the main window. The problem with this
might be that you'd have to revalidate all of the child windows on
the main window, so it may not be a reasonable option.
The reason you're getting a redraw is probably that you're doing a
lot of GDI work and the system dumps the background image that it
saved when it displayed the dialog (also only goes up to some size
dependent on dialog dimensions and desktop bit depth). GDI tends to
be stingy on what it will save and for how long.

Now your e-mail is where you are : http://www.ridgenet.net
As far as I have looked into this the redraw is generated by FastCAD. You
will see the same kind of redraw when placing the first copy with the PART
command. Just after placing the first copy with PART the whole drawing will
redraw. It will not redraw if you place more copies in the same command.

I'm wondering... have you had any chance to look into this in
the last few weeks?

Mike,
Does intercom work in all versions (past and future) of FastCad/CC2?
How about the viewers? I need to know if it works with View7

As to the viewer, you would need to do a build that links with the vw7.lib
so
that it will load with the viewer. Should be no problem there if you have
the xp7dev.zip toolkit.

I noticed some "I" codes in some of the DGP files as well, but I haven't
seen an "O" yet. I kind of figured that I and O would not be used in any
kind of UPP, (eg. High Guard), to avoid confusion with one and zero. Does
anyone know if "I" is really used?
Thanks!
