To install mapper, edit makempeg and mapper and
|
|
(1) fix paths
|
|
(2) change names of countries to exclude
|
|
(3) add a crontab similar to the one in the file crontab.config
|
|
|
|
When starting, type:
|
|
make clean
|
|
make color.ppm
|
|
|
|
-children
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a number of scripts which output PPM format
|
|
files suitable for conversion to gif with the PBM utilities or MPEG
|
|
with mpeg_encode. mpeg_encode is available from
|
|
http://s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:8000/multimedia/mpeg/
|
|
PBMPLUS is available from
|
|
ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/
|
|
Some of the scripts (mapper in particular) depend on a country
|
|
"mapper" being defined that can be logged into automatically using the
|
|
Empire client eif. Modify to use the client and country name of your
|
|
choice.

pgmmap.awk
|
|
A simple map making program. Reads a deity dump file and produces
|
|
a grayscale .pgm file as output, with each color corresponding to a
|
|
country number. To make a color coded map, scramble the colors.
|
|
|
|
pgmfallout.awk
|
|
Convert a deity census file into a PGM file with fallout levels.
|
|
|
|
randppm.awk
|
|
Generates random colors in a ppm file. Useful for remmapping colors
|
|
from pgmmap.awk
|
|
|
|
over.awk
|
|
Reads in a report file and generates a text overlay of country names.
|
|
Requires pbmtext (part of netpbm) to work.
|
|
|
|
param.pl
|
|
Modify an mpeg parameter file to use map-*.gif files as input.
|
|
Reads the highest level file from the file 'frames' and skips over any
|
|
file not 300-500 bytes long (in a 64x32 blitz, the .gif files should
|
|
be ~400 bytes). Larger worlds may require different size limits.
|
|
Disabling the size limits is not advised, as this is the only way
|
|
corrupt frames are eliminated.
|
|
|
|
makempeg
|
|
Log into the mapper country, capture new report files, and generate
|
|
a new .mpg file. Also copies map.mpg and final.gif into the web space
|
|
directories so others can view them. The web copy may be commented
|
|
out or modified to meet your local needs.
|
|
|
|
mapper
|
|
Log into mapper country and capture a map of the current owners of
|
|
the world (.gif format). Games without fallout should comment out the
|
|
fallmap producing line.
|
|
|
|
archive.pl
|
|
Pushes the archived blitz records down the stack (in web space) and
|
|
prints out a new .html index.
