GRDtoGRF, TTDPatch related material, code parts

Post by eis_os »

Hello

As the current and future won't leave room for TTDPatch development,
there will be some changes in the near future.

Here is my current planed list of tasks I want to finish this year.

First GRDToGRF will become Open Source, I haven't decided on the license yet,
if someone want to add this functionality directly to grfcodec, please contact me about details. (Should be someone who already have contributed to grfcodec).

GRFIDExtractor, the main routine (without png/pcx loader) will be made public.

LocoCodec, decompresses savegame chunks of Locomotion and can put them together so Locomotion will accept the uncompressed file. Example usage can be the directly editing of files, say the start savegame. Again in some form Open Source, not GPL.

TTShellExtension may not be made public, because of maybe hidden errors in the code that could be used for Buffer Overflows, if someone want to take over it's ownership won't be allowed to make it OpenSource. Warning, it doesn't use the usually MS Libs, so it is surely not 64bit safe, but who knows.

I haven't decided about the various technical documents.

If there other wishes (not GRFs!) let me know.
