	UTILITY: CDT - Civilization Diplomacy Tool Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

It's ben a while since Civilization Placement Tool (CPT) got released, and that tool is now history. However, I've taken the kernel of that tool and changed the functionallity to setup initial diplomacy in saves.

The program uses CDD files, which can be created with C3MT v1.0 and later.


Command line syntax
--------------------------------------
CDT [/nodone] [save] [cdd] [newsave]
CDT /cpf [/nodone] [save] [cpf] [newsave]
/cpf - tells the tool to load a CPF-file
/nodone - can always be passed; makes the tool not to popup a MessageBox when finished
save - can always be passed; If any space is in the name it must be quoted ("save game.sav"). Is the file that shall be changed.
cpf - can be passed if a save is passed and the /cpf flag is set; If any space is in the name it must be quoted ("positions for mapx.cpf"). Is the cpf-file that shall be used.
cdd - can be passed if a save is passed and the /cpf flag is not set; If any space is in the name it must be quoted ("diplomascy for scenarioy.cdd"). Is the cdd-file that shall be used.
newsave - can be passed if a cpf or cdd file is passed; If any space is in the name it must be quoted ("new save game.sav"). Is the file that shall be changed.

Do you have any CDD file ready yet?

Pardon me for my lack of expertise in this matter, but what will this tool do?


EDIT: Actually, that should be 'how would I use it?'

Is a README included?

Oh, and while I'm here I just have to drop a line that the next planned feature of this tool will be to set the initial war weariness between civs. (Tell me that ain't goint to be in Conquests )

(Oh, and just so you know: I currently have many things to do other than working on this, so it might take some time before I can get it ready. (As it also involves making a new C3MT version, to add another feature to CDT (okay, I could finish CDT before C3MT, and yes, it was the reales of C3MT v1.0 that delayed this tool about two weeks from it's finalization until I could release it)))
