TA Conflict Crusher
Features
| Unit, weapon and build menu fixing! | TA Conflict Crusher has the ability to fix conflicting weapons, units and build menus without any knowledge of .TDF files, .FBI or anything else. Simply look in the list box to see any conflicts, clicking on one shows more detail and reveals a 'FIX' button. |
| Automatic fixing | Auto fixing will scan your TA installation and begin fixing conflicts automatically without you having to do a thing. NOTE that this does take some time and can be less predictable than 'manual' fixing. |
| Active Update™ | Simply click the version icon in the main window to connect to the www.r1ch.net site to check for new versions. If one is found you are given the option to download it. Of course, now I've moved my site about so much, the program is more than likely to crash and destroy Windows than auto update itself. |
| Build Menu Modifier | Fed up with the placement of some 3rd party build menus? That 200 metal building on the Advanced KBots and you want it on the normal KBots? No problem! Simply drag 'n' drop menus around to your hearts content. (ßETA FEATURE) |
| Build Menu exploring | Want to see what you can build without going into TA and going through every build menu for Arm and Core? Then check this out. It allows you to select a builder unit and see what it builds, just as if it was in the game. You can also easily select empty spaces and copy to the clipboard for unit designing. |
| Unit and Weapon ID checks | Designing units? Want to avoid conflicts in the first place? Then use this. These two checks simply display a list of taken/free IDs which are available for unit numbers of weapon IDs. |
| Orphan Checker | This feature scans all your TA units, weapons and build menus for orphans. An orphan weapon is a weapon that isn't used by any units, but still it takes up an ID. Orphan build menus are build menu entries that don't have an associated unit. You can delete these orphans to free up IDs for other purposes. Also included is a Missing Weapons scan, which will find if any units have missing weapons. If they do you have the option of selecting a new one. |
| Build menu aligner | Fed up of scrolling through 5 empty pages just to find one new unit on the last page all by its own? Then you will find this very useful. All the menu entries and forced into consecutive positions, eliminating gaps between units and gets rid of those annoying blank pages between units. |
| TA Installation Info | Think your TA Installation is big? Find out just how big with this. Displays the number of Arm and Core units, number of weapons and build menus as well as the size of your TA directory, number of maps and construction units. You also have the option to find out how large all the TA data is uncompressed, and how many times you have run TA Conflict Crusher :) |
| Advanced HPI Editing Tools | Fed up with hundreds of .UFO files cluttering up your TA directory? Combine them all into one with a few clicks. Annoyed with wasted space in .UFOs taken up by useless files? Remove them safely with the rubbish remover. Want to repack your TA files using a different compression method to save disk space? No problem. These functions allow you to merge, delete, repack and more to any HPI files. Because of the ease to mess things up, this is not recommended for inexperienced users. |
| Backup Manager | Unless you tell it otherwise, TA Conflict Crusher automatically makes backups of edited UFO files. If you find TA fails to start or more problems occur, use the Backup Manager to restore the original files. |
| About box :) | Of course you will find links and shortcuts in the About box to other programs and unrelated things. Plus you gotta love those spinning nuke thingies... |
| Comprehensive support material | TA Conflict Crusher comes with lots of information should you have problems. Read the FAQ as many problems are already solved and documented. If you still have trouble, I promise I will try and help as much as I can. ICQ or email me. |
| Copying/printing | Almost all of the lists and data you see in TA Conflict Crusher can easily be copied to the clipboard or printed to the default printer. |
| Constant updates! | I respond to feedback. I will try and add and improve the features that YOU want. Check the news page often, you will find I sometimes ask a question or poll. More features are always in development. |
These are some of the features available in TA Conflict Crusher. Regrettably I cannot continue development without your support. If you like my program, email me and tell me I'm nice :-) Or if you want, a donation of money or hardware would be very much appreciated. I have spent a LOT of time developing this program as you can see from the features list and have had nothing in return. Please support further development.
