ROTRdex Options

[micxray]

UPDATE - ROTRdex V0.7
================================================================================

New version is available.

Download

This release will fix the initialization issues with the current internal/public builds of ROTR


Its not planned to enhance ROTRDex any further, but i will try to maintain it until ROTR reaches a stable release e.g 2.0 comes out. (maintaining forever... )
So if you encounter something that crashes the application, like initialization errors, then you are still welcome to report these things here


UPDATE - ROTRdex V0.6
================================================================================

New version is available.

Download

As already mentioned in my latest post, this release is only intended to fix a initialization issue with the latest ROTR build. ROTRdex will not be enhanced any futher.

I did start with new stuff since the last release, but meantime i decided to stop developement. But since i didnt want to revert all those changes for this little fix, there is the final new feature for ROTRdex:

Weapon tester (Experimental)
- Choose any weapon from the ROTRdex and test it against any target
- Weapon and target stats are based on the configuration at the moment of selection (e.g active upgrades, veterancy, battleplan,...)
- Calculate the elimination of the target (damage per shot, how many shots, duration)
- Run simulation (auto-shoot, including delays and reload time)
- Supports sound effects (only if you did choose to extract audio)

Things to consider:
- It is NOT supposed to simulate the game. it is NOT a battle simulator
- Anything besides basic weapon and target stats is not included (auto-healing, scattering of shots...)
- There are no game rules, you can use any weapon against any target, even if doesnt make sense (AA against ground, fire dummy/deploy/special effect weapons...)
- Sound can be messy
- Weapons with very high ROF (mostly MG's) can freeze the whole application, due to the huge amount of sounds being played. Consider using the provided mute button for these


Fun fact: the whole weapon tester thing started just because i fell in love with the f**king awesome sound the claymore gun makes, and i wanted to include it to the ROTRdex somehow

Thats about it.
Hope you all enjoy the new toy.


Feedback still welcome, even tough i wont do any more changes/improvements. Except for critical issues, like the initialization problem which should be fixed with this version



UPDATE - ROTRdex V0.5
================================================================================

Changes:
- Several minor fixes
- Weapon bonus modifier are shown at the particuar stat
- DelayBetweenShots stat now supports min/max (e.g for skyshield)
- Garrison bonus for infantry
- Provided transport slots are now displayed
- Added support for bike logic, you can now switch riders
- Internal version support updated (for testers)

New features:
- Buildings and defences are now part of the ROTRdex
- Structures show their needed power / produced power
- Ammo bonus for defences added
- Filter function for [Vehicle, Aircraft, Infantry, Buildings, Defences]


For installation just replace the old executable file with the new one and youre done.

As always, feedback welcome


UPDATE - ROTRdex V0.4
================================================================================

Changes:
- Minor bugfixes
- Death / Fear Voices added for infantry and aircrafts (only available if you choose to extract the audio)


UPDATE - ROTRdex V0.3
================================================================================

Changes:
- Several minor fixes
- Most of the recycler upgrades are supported now
- Venom & Manticore protocol upgrades supported
- PreAttack Delay/Type values added to weapon stats
- Continuous fire rate included in weapon stats

New features:
-> "Raw View"
- View a units INI file
- View a weapons INI snippet
- Uses users default editor for .ini files
-> "Workspaces"
- Allows to have multiple ROTRdex initializations
- Workspace selector on startup
- Define own workspaces
-> "Bonus Management"
- Veterancy level bonus
- Target marker bonus (Avenger, Marksman...)
- Horde / Propaganda / Battleplans bonuses
- Cost reduction bonus (Industrial Plant, Oil Refinery)
- Exclusive bonuses (Frenzy, Tear Gas ...)

For installation just replace the old executable file with the new one and youre done.

And again, feedback welcome

================================================================================

Requirements:
- Windows only (tested on 7 and 8.1)
- .NET Framework 4 or higher installed
- C&C Generals / ZH and ROTR mod installed

The tool will extract all the needed data from the game files. So it will show you the units, as they are in your current installed ROTR version.
If a you have a new version you can simply reinitialize the tool and the data is up to date again.

Please consider that not everything will work 100% and the data shown may differ from ingame values due to different / complex implementation.

It should have 3 different entries instead of movement speed as that makes it too vague:

Max speed, turn rate, acceleration and its damaged versions

Other things missing that might be worth adding:

ShroudClearingRange (especially this one since this is the thing scout units have important)
CrusherLevel
CrushableLevel
TransportSlots
PackTime and UnpackTime (for Deploy type units)
StealthDetectionRange (depending on the type of stealth object being detected it should have different ranges)


That said, it's a great tool... Cheers mate

Thats alot of additional info can all be added, but do you really need all that stuff?
for the sake of clarity i dont want to flood the window with unnessecary things.

Well, some of the additional info are usually important in PvP games (if you're a gamer and a math wiz).. If it floods with info, you could use the same method with what you did for the armor set

And there are people who tend to be lazy opening the INI files just to get a specific stat

[Zion]

WOW.. this is awesome. Im impressed, you programmed this your self? very nice job.. and this looks so clean too! with buttons and switches.. loving it!

I did find some weird stats..

for example overlord test build v4 xp reward 200 200 400 60

is that a glitch in your tool or is this actually a glitch in the test build?

thx yes i did it myself.

youre not the first one who noticed the issue with the XP. its actually the text field which is too small, so it cuts off the last digit. Will fix that soon

[Damfoos]

for example overlord test build v4 xp reward 200 200 400 60

is that a glitch in your tool or is this actually a glitch in the test build?

I'm pretty sure it happens because the text field is too short for such a long string, so you can't see the last 0 in 600. This can be easily solved if the text field's size will be adjusted for a string as long as "9999 9999 9999 9999" in the next version of the program.

This is brilliant. Great work!

[Graion Dilach]

It's only good for Windows users. No luck getting it working under Linux - which means Mac users will probably also find this unable to start.

I am only guessing that the code itself would be crossOScompatible but only in souce-code form - .NET executables doesn't really like the Mono environment usually.

Yep its only for windows users. Without the .NET framework you will have no chance to run it. Mono is kind of a ported version of .NET for mac, but as you said, its most likely not gonna work.
I started the whole thing with Java, means it would be cross-platform, but the performance of the file handling was just garbage. Like extracting one .big file lasted over a minute. So i decided to do it in .NET, (same exctraction < 3s) and since i didnt plan to share it at first, i didnt care about windows only.

As someone who uses both Mac and PC, I'm wondering if its possible to do a browser based version down the track so that we can all access it on the go

That would be the best solution for cross-platform. But then you cant just access the game files to get the data like now. You would have to store the data on a server and then display it in the browser.


So i am really sorry for the users which cant run the tool, but i dont have the aim to rewrite all the stuff...

ROTR can't even run on a MAC so its rather fruitless to begin with.

[3rdShockArmy]

What can I say? Maybe "Made in Switzerland" is all we need. Mister Micxray, this is so galactically great! For the first time since I play RotR, I hear Grumble attack voice. Kudos to you!

[Skitt]

Dude i love you.
this is brill.

[Graion Dilach]

ROTR can't even run on a MAC so its rather fruitless to begin with.

Pretty certain it can. Wine is the same for both Mac and Linux so I'm definitely sure ROTR can run on a Mac by using a Windows ZH installation with Wine instead of the native build.

just closing the settings will return you to the main window. but I added a back button, just for you now

It could work with other mods. in theory. but i am pretty sure there would be some troubles.
so for now it only works with ROTR

Editing mode, well that was one of my first ideas, but i dropped it since it would be way too complex to implement

As well as other things like IP/Oil Refinery cost reduction

Possible, yes. Also propaganda, horde etc... All things which I may add in the future.
But dont expect it to be there soon, since i have very limited time for working on ROTRdex

[Mizo]

Can you add the protocol bonuses for ECA viechles and Infantry when you're at it as well?

[Skoft]

I cannot enter to the app, the last time i entered the voices doesn´t sounded, so i tried to reinitialize but accidentally i stopped it, and now the app dont starts saying it stopped working, there is a way to fix it?

[rey]

didn't get it: Generals Instation Path and ZH with ROTR -what's the difference? yet, Internal and Public, so it's only "launcher version oriented?!
dumb question, but can it be added in further versions that one could just choose Generals dir and use public/internals .big files?(not launcher-gib)

[micxray]

Its already on my todo list

When you are using v0.2 it should recognize when there is a broken initialization. So if youre using the first version try to use the new one.
If its still not working you need to clear the apps working directory. Its located under C:\Users\#yourUsername#\AppData\Local\micxray\ROTRdex. Just delete everything in there and rerun the app.

Ok ill try to explain.
Normally you will have something like, C:\Program Files\EA Games\ and then one directroy for Generals and one for ZH. If this is always the case then i didnt need to ask you about your paths, but since likely possible that Generals and ZH are installed in completly different folders i need to know them. And some people also use several ZH installation for different mods for example.

So no, just choosing Generals directory wont be sufficent. Only choosing the ZH directory with the ROTR mod in it would work, IF you dont wont the audio. Because quite some units are from vanilla Generals, they also use their orginal voices. And for getting these i need to know where your Generals installation is.

Dont know that you mean by launcher oriented. There are internal big files and public big files, whatever your selection is will be used.

now i see. i use a repack that installs only 1 folder with ZH, that's where confusion is from.

Dont know that you mean by launcher oriented. There are internal big files and public big files, whatever your selection is will be used.

by launcher oriented i mean original Rotr "mechanics" with renaming .gib to .big and same renaming but using files with "Intr" in name. both work thought launcher renaming, while i always rename files to .big myself, once after ZH install(don't use launcher) and just overwrite .big's when new beta comes.
it's not like i'm asking to adapt something for me, i'm just trying to understand how to use the tool with my installation organization. ;]

Ok now i know what you mean. It shouldnt cause any problems if the ROTR files are big instead of gib. Since the tool searches for the files like this: !Rotr_2D.* the file extension doesnt matter. However if you change the file name itself then it wont work anymore.

[SiR Chaff]

For some reason, my ROTRdex closes itself halfway through when I reinitialized it with the ROTR Pre-release V6... it keeps happening everytime i run it

[Skitt]

same as chaff.

every time it gets to the recon drone in the initialization scan rotrdex closes.

[micxray]

oh boy, what a stupid error...

well however, its fixed an uploaded. Check the first post (somehow the forums dont let me upload it anymore, so i had to upload it on an external site...)

I only fixed the initialization problem, no new features or other fixes yet.

can we have an option to chose where extracted data is stored? AppData\Local\ is "too deep" to remember data is there, i'd prefer to store where i like. besides, it will allow to have multiple "libraries"(i'm sure to be not only one having multiple versions installed).

Just waiting Micxray that add option to hear GP voice

[micxray]

Hello guys

Since there are quite a few people who are waiting for a rotrdex update, i want to inform you why its not there yet and maybe wont come anymore.

Obviously during christmas / new year i had other things in mind than programming stuff.
After that i continued working on rotrdex... but then... something happend...
Last week my office room at home went up in flames. Luckily the fire could be extinguished before any other room was affected.
But still all my private computer stuff is now gone, including backup hdd's. So also the current source code of rotrdex is lost.

What a great start for 2016!

By change i found a copy of the v0.1 sources. So i may resume the work sometime but i will have to rewrite alot of things in order to reach the current version.

So i am really sorry to disappoint you, but there wont be any more rotrdex updates for quite a while

[Mizo]

Damn, that's sad to hear.

Don't worry about us, just focus on getting your things back together. Real Life is top priority. Good luck.

[3rdShockArmy]

Damn. Screw the things. Thank God that everyone in the home are ok.

[{Lads}RikerZZZ]

2016 is off to a pretty shit start isnt it?
At the very least nobody was hurt, which is always good.

[Skitt]

im curious, if when you do come back to working on rotrdex, thats if you still want to
would it be possible to get a version for shockwave as well?

[micxray]

im curious, if when you do come back to working on rotrdex, thats if you still want to
would it be possible to get a version for shockwave as well?

Well, since i got my stuff mostly back together, i will soon begin to rewrite things to reach the current state of rotrdex and eventually add new features.

Regarding shockwave, it is possible for sure to make a similar application. But it wont work from the go and would require quite some rework.
So if i ever reach a state of rotrdex where it is considered "done", i might try to port it to work with shockwave. But no promises on this

[GeneralCamo]

How hard exactly would a shockwave implementation be though? The current version uses the same file structure as ROTR.

[micxray]

How hard exactly would a shockwave implementation be though? The current version uses the same file structure as ROTR.

I just took a look at the files. The fact that the structure is the same, will help alot for sure.
Still there are quite some ROTR specific things implemented (e.g a lot of exclusions, dummy weapons, unused upgrades, units which most not show up...)

So, just get that thing running for SHW may be not that hard actually. But the fine tuning(handling exceptions, special upgrades, salvage +3 etc...) would still need some work.

Dushka and stinger dont have weapons themself, they spawn units. So this behaviour is not yet supported.
For the other missing weapons: they all use bike logic, so you have to switch the rider in order to get other weponsets (rider switch is the little guy on the bicycle )

[Hanfield]

DERP - I see it now

[Emin96]

well i have this error help me guys

[Hanfield]

Oke, found some actual bugs this time:

*The Igla Trooper has the AP Rockets upgrade [albeit it does nothing when selected];
*The Stinger Trooper's damage/range values after AP Rockets are incorrect - from 30 to 50 damage and from 300 to 399 range. It seems like the garrison bonus got lumped together with the AP Rocket bonus.

[micxray]

Can you translate that error message? i dont understand italian and google gives me something weird

Actually you found bugs in the code
Just checked them, Igla's heroic lockon weapon benefits from the AP rockets, so thats why you can see the upgrade.
And with the stinger guy theres actually something weird. when upgraded he really deals 50 dmg ingame, i did some tests. so he receives the garrison bonus. but somehow the range doesent get affected... well as said, weird.

Did a bug report for these

[Maelstrom]

"Impossible to access specified device, path or file. It is possible that you don't have required permission"

I honestly never saw this error with the rotrdex. So im not sure whats exactly the problem.
Did you try to move the executable in another directory? Or run it as administrator?

[Graion Dilach]

I assume he installed the game into Program Files, but didn't launched ROTRdex as admin.

[Arc]

I can't find the weapons for the WASP Hive drones, while the Recycler version does have it.

[micxray]

I can't find the weapons for the WASP Hive drones, while the Recycler version does have it.

Yes. The drones for the recycler are specified in the same file as the vehicle itself. While the drones for the WASP hive are located in own files.
Because of this the ROTRdex is not yet capable of getting the weapons of the WASP drones.

[XAOC-RU-]

Very usefull program:). Thank you very much:). I will wait for new versions!

So how exactly does HOLD THE LINE work? When I select it, nothing happens so it must be some kind of special thing...

[General Scrapstr...]

So how exactly does HOLD THE LINE work? When I select it, nothing happens so it must be some kind of special thing...

It affects the the Armor Stats, you can look at the Armor Stats by clicking on the "?" symbol that is aligned next to the Shield symbol/Armor Type.

Yes. The drones for the recycler are specified in the same file as the vehicle itself. While the drones for the WASP hive are located in own files.

Micxray any new version of Rotr Desk in dvelopment?

[micxray]

Micxray any new version of Rotr Desk in dvelopment?

I didnt add new stuff or enhanced anything until now. However i had a new feature in mind which is partially implemented. Kind of a weapon tester where you can select a single weapon from any unit and use it against any target. So for example: you could see how many shots a combat medic needs to kill an heroic blackbear sentinel (18751...) and you could see how long it would take. (not a battle simulator, just a weapon tester)

As said i did start the implementation but didnt bring it to an usable level yet. I didnt touch the code for quite some time now and honestly iam not sure if i will ever finish it, because it will be quite a mess and never work for all weapons correctly.

tl;dr
There is a version in development but i stopped working on it for now - continuation unceratin

I didnt add new stuff or enhanced anything until now. However i had a new feature in mind which is partially implemented. Kind of a weapon tester where you can select a single weapon from any unit and use it against any target.

i'm glad that now it's possible to state where to extract data, but how to run pedia? each time i run app it proposes to initialize and closes.. yet where are settings stored?

[General Scrapstr...]

The Osprey's and Starlifter's armor stats don't change at all when Countermeasure upgrade is applied. Same goes for BlackHawk armor stats, except for Small_Arms and Gattling which is 60% at default/no upgrade but it increases to 100% with Countermeasure upgrade, which is the reversed outcome of the upgrade because it's suppose to decrease.

Great tool.
found some bugs.

I'll wait for an update

Thanks.

[Arc]

Care to explain what kind of bugs there are?

[Lazy-Bones]

Immediately after launching ROTRex, choose China/Black Lotus, expand Bonus Management, almost any change there will make the tool crash.
Run as administrator won't make any change.

The same occurs with Hacker

I use win 10 x64.

i still need an answer: HOW to use this tool??
with last version i get only initialize window. no settings, no run after it extracted data. though it somehow remembers pathes to Generals that i stated, i could find any strings in windows registry, while trying to somehow maybe reset it.
what am i doing wrong??

Hey rey, sorry that i didnt answer till now. i am not online that much anymore.

Well i dont know what the problem is, since i cant reproduce it. Rotrdex saves everything into files, so you wont find settings in the registry.
What you could try: Delete C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\ROTRdex. This where the settings file is. So next execution you will get a new default settings file. Maybe there is something wrong with your current settings file...

thanks for tip about AppData, found folder and "resetted" tool. but for pity i'm again stuck on initialize screen. =/ maybe i'm really doing something wrong?..
start app, use workspace(or add one), set path to ZH with mod, initialize, ... what's next, how to get to dexter? net run i again have workspace choose and then initialize..

guess i've found culprit: as i have several Generals installations, i put them into sandboxes(for system clarity), and apparently Dex has problems with that. i checked Initialize on some old normal install and it's ok, but paths like say "C:\Sandbox\user\DefaultBox\drive\D\Games\CnC Generals186.5" don't "assemble" by Dex and make this Initialize-screen stuck situation.
btw if there be more updates, how about saving that .xml settings near .exe?(at least as an option) yeah, i'm fan of portability.

Might worth noting that Public Build 1.2 for 1.87 broke the ROTRdex. It keeps failing to initialize when it is loading the GLA INIs.

Confirmed.
There are changes in the .ini Files which the rotrdex cant handle.

As you may noticed the development of the rotrdex is stopped, i just dont have time (and motivation) to enhance it any further.
However i will try to fix this initialization issue soon, so it will still be usable for you. Because the changes responsible for the current issue will make it to the next release of ROTR for sure

Oh no don't get me wrong, this ins't me asking you or forcing you to come back

Very much appreciated for attempting to put the effort to fix it however.

[micxray]

Initialization issue is fixed.

Check the first post for the new version. It will contain a little extra beside the fix.

[Mizo]

Thank you!!!!
