Just spilling some more ideas before I forget them.
How bout two other textarea fields where you can put the controlpointspawn .con files. They can map the positions of the bases, and a yellow line can automatically be drawn from the flag to the vehicles associated with that osId, just like battlecraft.
Also, it would be very nice if there was a feature that could support add-ons, like easy-to-edit specialized mods such as death bubble (a circle could be drawn on the map showing the distance of the death bubble). Imagine just dragging and dropping a death bubble onto the map, and knowing exactly how far out it reaches. THE POSSIBILITIES!!
Edit: I feel like a fool! This entire idea's already been done at . Its a lot like in that movie Knocked Up, when the guys hopes for an original pron site crumble when they learn about Mr. Skin.
6-26-07 Edit: Objects placement works beautifully! All objects are temporarily rendered as tanks. You can use the cursor to find positions on any map in BF/DC/DC_Final.
Control point placement does not work yet. Drag and drop object templates do not work yet.
7-10-07 Edit: The project is on hold, as my version of macromedia flash mx does not allow the importing of external gif images, and the minimap icons are all gifs. Although crippled, this program does successfully allow easy access to many maps, and successfully maps out objects in the right places (theyre just rendered with tank icons). The cursor-location-finding thing works too. The ControlPointSpawn stuff doesn't work either. If anyone knows a way around external gif importation in flash mx 2004, PM me. Otherwise, heres a mangled quasi-helpful application.
