Use Cartographer.

It's still not released, or at least not yet in the database Lips sealed

Heh, I'm about to add it myself. I'm sick of linking to the release thread. Tongue

Yeah, there's something really wrong about a staff member telling people to use tools that aren't even in our database...

Sorry for the late response.

The method I intended people to use for "clean" scripts with funky ordered pointer tables are pointer lists.  This is briefly mentioned in the documentation but I don't think anybody has ever used it.

Basically you would have to dump the pointers to a separate file containing only the hex offsets of the pointers.  One per line like below:
$40000
$42504
$38888

Then you #CREATEPTRLIST (just like you would with a pointer table) and you can setup autowrite as well.

Alternatively, if your three pointer tables are consecutive offsets (ie, $40000 $40002 $40004 etc)...you can setup three pointer tables and do manual writes or make a <end0>, <end1>, etc autowrite tags for each.

PS: It's easier to find me via PM than on the board for Atlas questions/support.
