Title: Now that you messed up every single pilot files with your builds . . .
Post by: TopAce on December 04, 2004, 12:56:10 pm

PilotView used to be a useful tool before I started using FreeSpace Open. I could read my pilot's score, current squadron's name, etc. Those times have been over for years know. Is there any way I can know how much score my pilot has?

Isn't that kept in the barracks info anyways?

Nope. Score is kept hidden away from the player. All it does is tell the game when the player gets bumped to the next rank.

TopAce. Quit complaining that a program which hasn't been updated for 4 years can't read the latest files. You might get further if you ask nicely.

The pilot format has been changed, so that's just normal.

Find the original author and get them to update it.

Of course, had the Pilot files not been updated and enhanced, people would be shouting just as loud.

Sometimes I really have sympathy for you guys :(

I think all / most of the DM tools are by Heiko Herrman (+1 or 2 others).

I thought Heiko Herman was Kazan. Maybe because this name sounds German.

didn't WCM make a pilot viewer recently?

I made CSGEdit, but that could very well be invalidated with the recent pilot file changes.

I do have a partial pilotfile-management library though.

I got 404 when I click on the 'My site' in your signature.

The link is fix0red. I think you misunderstood though...the pilotfile-management library I had was a programming library, the frontend program never had a (working) interface because I discovered that ALL the progress info was in the CSG files. Thus was CSGEdit born.
