(all): Depend on info. Flatten info directory. This undoes the move to one subdirectory per chapter, which was done during Empire 2. The structure doesn't buy us much, as the info name space is flat, and it complicates makefiles. Overhaul info.pl: - It now wants to run in the root of the build tree. - Information on source files and subjects is now stored in makefiles, thus info.pl no longer picks up random junk from the file system. - Clean up Perl anachronisms, in particular use subroutine arguments and results rather than global variables where convenient. - Change format of diagnostics to the common format used by GNU tools, so that Emacs and the like can parse it. - Catch missing .SA. - When creating a new subject file, cowardly refuse to overwrite an existing file. - Subject files contain topics sorted by chapter, then by name. The order of chapters used to depend on how Perl sorts hash keys. Fix it.

.TH Command BDES
|
|
.NA bdes "Manually change your bmap"
|
|
.LV Expert
|
|
.SY "bdes <SECT> <des>"
|
|
A bmap gives you a graphic representation of all or part of your country.
|
|
Bdes allows you to change a sector of your bmap.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Bmap differs from map in that it reflects everything you've learned
|
|
about the world. If, for example, you navigate near a sector and find
|
|
out that it is as sea, it will show up on your bmap as sea, even if it
|
|
doesn't show up on your map.
|
|
.s1
|
|
When you get new information, it will overwrite the designation you put in
|
|
with bdes, UNLESS you put in an 'x' or an 'X'. These two characters, 'x'
|
|
and 'X' are permanent, unless you manually change them with bdes. Once you
|
|
change them back, the sector will be updated normally by nav, march, etc.
|
|
(The normal use for these is to record minefields, so that you can march
|
|
adjacent to the minefield without eliminating the information)
|
|
.s1
|
|
Unlike normal designation, with bdes, you may use any character.
|
|
If you wish to use a space, surround it with double quotes:
|
|
bdes # " "
|
|
.s1
|
|
You can't bdesignate something to a ?
|
|
.s1
|
|
Conditionals do not work with bdes (i.e. bdes # ?des=c C) unless
|
|
you own the sector.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that the bdes command only changes your 'working' bmap and not
|
|
your 'true' bmap. If you make a mistake and bdes a bunch of sectors
|
|
where you didn't want them to be, you can always start over by typing
|
|
.EX "bmap revert"
|
|
which will revert your 'working' bmap back to your 'true' bmap.
|
|
.s1

.SA "bmap, sharebmap, Maps"
