Linux/mac script for renaming a unit in game code

[yanom]

I put together this shell script (runs on Linux and Mac) that will go through all your game files and attempt to rename a unit. It will rename all appropriate files and go through all your files and replace all instances of the old unit name with the new name.

Code: Select all

Disclaimer - this works for me, but YMMV. Back up your data before trying this.

save this program as "renameUnit.sh" and place it inside your mod's folder.

Code: Select all

for file in `find . -name "*.lua"`
do
	sed -i "s/$1/$2/g" $file
done

for file in `find . -name "*.s3o"`
do
        sed -i "s/$1/$2/g" $file
done


for infile in `find . \( ! -regex '.*/\..*' \)`
do 
	newname=`echo $infile | sed "s/$1/$2/"`
	if [ "$infile" != "$newname" ]
	then 
		mv $infile $newname
		#### ^^^ important! ^^^
		#if you use a version-control system like SVN or Git,
		# change that line to from "mv" to "git mv", 
		# "svn mv", or whatever your VCS requires.
		####
	fi
done

run it like:

Code: Select all

 ./renameUnit.sh oldunitname newunitname

from what I understand it renames the .s3o file but not the texture?
(the link to texture would have to to be changed in the s3o file as well)

renames everything. edits .lua and .s3o files to change the name. thus it changes the texure filename and the link to the texture
