Naming the tis name of the wed via tp2-patching?

[jastey]

How would I rename the tis of a wed upon install in the tp2?

 

Apologies if this is answered somewhere already, but I didn't find it, and tp2-pathicng is something I can only copy, not do myself.

 

If someone could give me the needed code (or a really good explanation how I would do it), I would be very grateful.

It depends on the .web file, as it's structure is one made out of re-occuring parts, just like any other .itm, .spl or .cre, you need to calculate the bit offset.

Argh, Thank you for pointing that out. I guess it's easier to supply three sets of wed-files, then. Or a custom tis.

quick & dirty

   COPY_EXISTING ~some.wed~ ~override~
       SPRINT tis_name "hello"
       READ_LONG 16 overlay_off
       WRITE_ASCIIE overlay_off + 0 + 4 ~%tis_name%~ (8)
       // WRITE_ASCIIE overlay_off + 24 + 4 ~%tis_name%~ (8) // 2nd
  	 // WRITE_ASCIIE overlay_off + 48 + 4 ~%tis_name%~ (8) // etc.

 

I've also always been a fan of "search & replace" ...

Could I use this as-is? I really don't know these kind of things. Do I need the commented "2nd + etc." lines?

Like said, the file consist of re occuring structures... how many .tis files are there in the original map... that's how many lines of the

WRITE_ASCIIE overlay_off + x * 24 + 4 ~%tis_name%~ (8)

's you need, as they are named at the file that way, starting from x = 0, 1, 2, 3 ... etc

 

So if you have only one .tis file, then yes... well you actually should name the "tis_name" -variable as your "tis_name".tis - file.

Stupid question: How could one wed have several tis - are we talking about day and night thingies?

 

EDIT: Or door tilesets, but I thought they are in the same tis at the end, but that could be different, as it seems. Hm, I think I am talking about wed that have only one tis.

This works! Thank you very much!

No, in fact, the first overlay is the map itself, the others are water (for rivers, lakes, sea...), fire (lava), or other overlays if you use them.

 

Doors tilesets are included in the first overlay. Usually, door open tiles are "regular" tiles and closed ones are "alternative tiles" added at the end of the tis file and displayed when you close the doors...

Ah, OK. I think the first overly / tis is sufficient for my case, at least I could walk all areas with no crash.
