Graphing waypoint file

[imaginethat]

Hi
I am trying to figure out how to turn a waypoint file into a graph. I thought it would be pretty straight forward as the waypoint file it just a bunch of co ordinates X,Y,Z. Z does not need to be there(would be cool to have a 3 dimensional graph though.

But just looking to graph the X,Y to start showing me a nice visual of the path the bots take.

I am kind of directing this toward you Rock5 as I have seen some that you have created.

I assume you need to manipulate the WP file down to 2 columns of numbers X,Y, and then using MS Excel you create line graph. Thats where I get unstuck, I cant seem to get a nice path, it just seems to put

lol, just figured it out, Use the Scatter graph option

Does anyone know of some free 3d graphing tool? or other 2D graphing tool to put waypoints into a more visual medium?

cheers

Let us know if you found a way to transport bot cords into game cords,

In the past i have built a simple windows form app that shows the map and waypoints on it, i just need to translate bot cordinates to game map cordinates...

I did a video on how I use Excel to visualise waypoint files, a while ago, but I had trouble with it and gave up. Had another look at it and I've managed to finish it and upload it.

Sorry if it's a bit slow. It is my first video though.

Cool, I never knew how to do that with excel =)
