[Tool]StripRFA

Post by Senshi »

Hi, recently found a nice a tool, StripRFA. If you are a mapmaker, this comes in quite handy.

If you have a map finished it can be quite annoying always having to filter out the unneeded files to create a separate server.rfa (as servers don't need textures, sounds etc. taking up file space).

StripRFA does this for you. Just point it to your map.rfa, tell it how the new rfa should be named and it automatically creates a nice and tidy server.rfa

Usage instructions: Place the striprfa.exe in the same folder as your map.

Fire up the command console of Windows (or create a batchfile), browse there to your folder, and then type
striprfa.exe MAPNAME.rfa MAPNAME_server.rfa
and hit enter
Now the tool swiftly creates a MAPNAME_server.rfa in the same folder, which you now can upload to your server or distribute to other server hosters hosting your map.

And for the dummies ( ;) ), I made an example batchfile in the archive. Just open the striprfa.bat with a regular text editor (Wordpad/Notepad/Notepad++) and then change the MAPNAME to the name of your rfa in both cases. Save it and execute the striprfa.bat . You'll promptly notice the appearance of the MAPNAME_server.rfa in your folder :) . Remember to re-rename it back to the original name if you upload it to the server.
