NILE Profiler Quickstart Guide
The NILE profiler allows you to analyze the movements of all the players in a game. This is useful for map builders who want to see what real players do on their maps. This tool is not for seeing what players are doing on maps you did not make, such as NovaWorld maps. For this reason, the source .NPJ or .MIS file is needed to use the profiler.
To use the profiler youll need to have NILE, the source file of the map you are profiling, and an .SPH file. The .SPH file contains the profile information for a given game.
To generate a .SPH file, you will need to add a couple things to the shortcut you use to run Joint Ops. Right-click on the shortcut and choose Properties. Make sure you have the Shortcut tab selected. In the text field named Target you will see the path to your Joint Ops executable. You will need to add /profile to the end of the text already in the Target field. For example:
Once you have done this click OK. When you run the game using this shortcut and host a game a .SPH file will be created with the filename you entered. In the example above it would be myprofile.sph. Each time the server cycles a new file will be created: myprofile2.sph, myprofile3.sph, and so on.
