Hey guys, I have been getting into modding BFME2 lately, and stumbled upon Bart's tool, https://forums.revor...d-command-v103/. This is an awesome tool, as it greatly sped up the modding process and made understanding what to do a little easier. The only issue I had with it, was sometimes it would take 2+ hours to complete.
I have made a new tool, aptly named Macro Mapper, which essentially does the same thing, but faster.
Instructions:
Extract the INI.big from BFME2 / BFME RotWK.
Open the program and select the directory where you extracted the files. The program won't run unless it can find the gamedata.ini.
The program will log every step.
What it does:
Renames all macros with a prefix of M_, and places the newly editable macros inside _gamedata.inc
Moves the gamedata block outside of gamedata.ini and inside /object/gamedata.ini
Takes care of /default/water.ini to include _gamedata.inc.
This program does not change the original files, rather outputs to a new directory of your choice (default is the location of the .exe)
This does essentially the same things as Bart's tool, but does not take as long.

If you use this tool, please let me know what you think!
