Skavau 0 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 ... easier it would be to make ridings if there was a proper organised ridings editor on the game. I dislike using Wordpad and losing track of where I am. Developing the Cornwall Scenario was a nightmare. Would a Ridings Editor be hard to make? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
extreme_right 3 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Good idea. That would be helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJE 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Agreed. I shouldn't imagine it should be ultra-hard to code - there was one built for the Canadian 2006 election, but I'd love to have an all-purpose one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
extreme_right 3 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 That was only to alter overall support levels. Maybe it could be like a wizard, you say how many constituencies, put in the names, support levels, any specific candidate names (there could be a random generator for the rest - very simple to do). Personally I'd pay good money for this, not just download it as a free upgrade. I'm sure others would as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philjon 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 It's possible with PHP , and it's not so difficult I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrdie 2 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I wouldn't pay just for the editor, but I'd actually make scenarios in PMF:C if there was something like this. (Ridings data is the most evil part of making scenarios in PMF:C) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HabsFan21 4 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Some way to incorporate a Spreadsheet in too would be nice...like being able to copy results from a page and "import" them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrCancer1981 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 The hardest part about ridings is doing the breakup of support so that you have an even, balanced, and realistic scenario. I've yet to find a formula that's worked on this. The names aren't hard. Just get yourself a random name generator, I recommend TableSmith. The coding is very very simple to understand, and you can load your own lists of random names. There's a website I get my name's lists from that have just about every ethniticity in surnames and fornames. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
