**Falcon 4 Feature Maker** by Seifer

This tool creates roads and rivers for theaters. It outputs a file which can be read by [[falcon4:tools:cate|CATE]]. No fancy UI.

This program is used to create / edit / generate tdf files for CATE. A tdf file defines features location, using quadrant 1 (meaning 0,0 is the lower left). Right now, 2 types of features can be created: **RIVER** and **ROAD**. More can be easily added if needs arise.

====== Usage ======

To run this program on linux, execute featureMaker.sh. On windows, use the bat file or double click the jar file inside the dist directory.

When opened, program will show a blank window and ask for a map image. After map is loaded, one can:
  * Load a features file(tdf): **L** key
  * Save current features to a tdf file: **S** key
  * Create a new feature: **INSERT** key

To edit existing features, select waypoints with mouse, drag and drop them to move.
  * To delete a waypoint, hit **DELETE**
  * To create a new waypoint, after the one selected, hit **INSERT**.
  * To delete an entire feature, hit shift **DELETE**.
  * To move an entire feature, use right mouse button to drag and drop.
  * To toggle feature type, hit **T**.
