Code: Select all

MoH Precacher v0.1 - a MoHAA precache script builder
Copyright (C) 2006, Leszek Godlewski

Usage: precacher.exe [OPTIONS] <MAPFILE>

Options:

  -a, --all       Precaches all found models no matter if they're included in
                  dmprecache.scr or not (i.e. for single player maps).
  -b, --bsponly   Parses the map file only (skips script parsing).
  -s, --single    Precaches some common single player map items (forces
                  --all to be on).
  -c, --nocommon  Switches off adding some common precached items.
  -p, --noprefix  Switches off adding the models/ prefix to paths that don't
                  contain it.
  -h, --help      Displays this help message.

By default a precache script for a multiplayer map is created. The options are pretty self explanatory. The program takes a filename of a .map file and loads it into memory, then it parses out all the .tik files from it and adds them to the cached item list. After that, it tries to open a script by the same name (but with .scr extension) and parses all the models out of it as well. When all this is done, the final result is written into foobar_precache.scr (for mapfile called foobar.map). There you go!
