[WIP] Quest Path Map

[Moriarty]

I've decided to try and visualise the quest path possibilities in SW3. The modders among you will probably be aware this is quite a task - there are almost 200 seperate "quests" in the quests directory! In reality there are "only" 20 missions, but a lot of ways they can play out.

So in the spirit of laziness, I've automated it.

After a few hours work (I'm on a go-slow this morning it seems) I've got all of the data extracted textually and created a PNG of it to try and help with visualisation.
This was created using stock SW3.


Warning - these images are big in pixels (only 50-100 kB filesize): About 7000 wide and 1100 high. For rather obvious reasons I'm not inlining the images into this post directly.

Version 1: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4609/88781349.png
Uses mission numbers for column headers


Version 2: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6241/73838913.png
Uses directory name for column headers. I've not gone looking for mission-names-proper yet.


Now I just need to figure out how to turn that into a nice map.

Comments/suggestions welcome. I figure these versions may be of more interest to modders than regular players.
As noted on them, they're released under the cc-by-sa 3.0 license, so feel free to edit them (more likely to be relevant for later releases).
