Repository Reference

Contents

Blood Omnicide repository contains a number of automation scripts used to make life easier with making some repeated actions. Building a game chapter is one of big automation script you already know about. This appendix chapter list other automation scripts.

Materials automation

Various scripts to help with materials, all scripts is located in kain/scripts/automation/

Build terrain materials

Terrain materials in Blood Omnicide are automatically generated. It is using about 20 terrain textures (rock, grass, ground etc.) and materials having all combinations (rock-grass, grass-ground, grass-rock etc.)

All available terrain textures is listed in kain/scripts/terraintypes.txt

  • make_terrain_pics.cmd: generate radiant/ textures for materials (you need ImageMagick 6.6.7 Q8 installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.6.7-Q8)
  • make_terrain_shaders.cmd: generate terrain textures_terrain.shader

Build shaderlist.txt

File scripts/shaderlist.txt is used by map compiler and level editor to load .shader files. When new material scripts is added, this files should be re-generated.

  • make_shaderlist.cmd: generate shaderlist.txt

Build skip shaders

Level editor is dumb, it doesnt know what a normalmap is. So it shows normalmaps, specular textures, and all other additional textures in texture window. Which is incorrect. To prevent that a special material file is maked for level editor that flags all this textures as skipped. This script must be executed each time new normalmaps, specular and other additional textures get added.

  • make_shaders_skip.cmd: generate radiant/scripts/skip.shader

Music automation

Music automation scritps is created to help with publishing new Bloody Sounds tracks. They are pretty simple. All scripts is located in kain\music\automation.

  • make_files.bat: make Bloody Sounds .mp3 files and ZIP containing all OGG files
  • make_html.bat: make HTML code for Bloody Sounds page (russian)
  • make_html_en.bat: make HTML code for Bloody Sounds page (english)

Map automation

There is many of temp files created during compilation. This files are: .prt, .srf, .autosave.map, .bad, .log, .pts.

kain/maps/cleanup.bat: remove all temporary files

Important: This script will remove all autosaves created for maps. Be careful!
