Re: virgin island
Wonder if anyone's started a wiki where this info would go, so it's easier to find.
Plus, anyone with working language packs would be able to contribute their own file maps.
And then someone writes a tool that generates the file map for you and then just copy it to the wiki.
Magic.
There's actually a really easy way using the list MSDos command in a batch file to make a file map of a determinate folder in your computer, it has 1 lines of coding and takes 10 seconds to code, but I don't want to go in much detail on that, there's google for it.
Anyway no, I don't think there's a wiki but honestly that wouldn't be a bad idea but on the other hand, it would take a lot of traffic off ULMF and we're not trying to do that.
We could make a wiki with walkthroughs for RPG Maker games, downloads, and general useful info like that, but eh, unless a huge group of people wanted to participate like Etigoya, KeiranD, Soulles, Oiz, etc. etc. etc. I don't think it would go far.
Code:
Navigate to the folder that you want to create a list for.
Then create a new txt file in the same directory and paste this into it:
dir /a /-p /o:gen >list.txt
then save the txt file.
Change the extension of that file from .txt to .bat.
Now double click on the .bat file and it will generate a txt file (called list.txt) with a list of all the files and folders in it.
It's THAT simple.
The outcome is something along these lines: (With a much better layout)

Keep in mind my windows is Portuguese
It also lists hidden files without needing to change the settings.
But like I said, trivial things, any duck can do this.
