C# TDFParser or TDF->XML

[AF]

Does anybody have one of these? hughperkins uses xml parsers and xml config files, and OSRTS has c+ versions, which is a downer for me in a pure C# application.

You're asking for a parser that can read TDF files in C# format? Either that or a parser that parses TDF files to XML files? As far as I know one doesn't exist currently, although if someone were to take on the project it shouldn't explode you to try to write one...

Ive got a PHP script that loads TDF files into an associative array, so it should be very simple to get it to write it out as XML. Ill edit it and upload it somewhere, if its at all helpful

Look for the TA2Supcom tool (supremecommander.net), it has a C# TDF parser in it.

Edit: answered a different question from the one being asked

well I'm not sure I can ask all the ppl who use my program to install and setup php.

Thanks jelmer.

I dunno if you found the download link for the TA2SupCom or managed to contact the owner to request it? It looked like it does what we need.

Anyway, lacking patience and not finding the download link, wrote a new parser. It handles UTF8, it's case insensitive, it has a hierarchy.

The following are all valid ways to use it:

Code: Select all

                TdfParser tdfparser = TdfParser.FromFile("maps/Whakamatunga_Riri.sm3");
                Console.WriteLine(tdfparser.RootSection.SubSection("MaP").SubSection("atmosphere").GetStringValue("fogcolor"));
                Console.WriteLine(tdfparser.RootSection.GetStringValue("mydefault","MaP/atmosphere/doesntexist"));
                Console.WriteLine(tdfparser.RootSection.GetStringValue("MaP/atmosphere/fogcolor"));
                Console.WriteLine(tdfparser.RootSection.GetStringValue("MaP\\atmosphere\\fogcolor"));
                double fogstart = tdfparser.RootSection.GetDoubleValue("MaP\\atmosphere\\fogsTaRt");
                Console.WriteLine(fogstart);
                Console.WriteLine(tdfparser.RootSection.SubSection("MaP/atmosphere").GetStringValue("fogcolor"));
                double[] doublearray = tdfparser.RootSection.SubSection("MaP").SubSection("Atmosphere").GetDoubleArray("FogColor");
                foreach (double value in doublearray)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(value);
                }
                foreach (TdfParser.Section section in tdfparser.RootSection.SubSections.Values)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Section: " + section.Name);
                    foreach (TdfParser.Section subsection in section.SubSections.Values)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("   subsection: " + subsection.Name);
                        foreach (string valuename in subsection.Values.Keys)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("      value " + valuename + " = " + subsection.Values[valuename]);
                        }
                    }
                }
