BA modinfo - how to generate?

[jamerlan]

Is it possible to generate modinfo for latest BA? How to do that?
I am talking about this: http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/modinfo/ba783/index.html

Here you find the a post of Beherith with a link to the script:
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=30945&p=547937&hil ... fo#p548207
If I remember right, I had change a small thing to work with latest BA (and some images for new units like the 3rd level hovers are missing). But I don't remember right now what it was...
Quite some time ago I started to look into an update that includes post defs, but never got very far (mostly due to time).

I the meantime I noticed this:
http://springfiles.com/spring/lua-scrip ... exporter-1
Maybe that would be a good starting point, too?!?

[jamerlan]

meh.. python :-D
Thanks! I will try to generate that info!

Hmm.. I liked the BA modinfo page more. It is great to be able to browse from the builders to their products and back etc.
It would be great if a modinfo paser could create an intermediate format that could be used by multiple renderers (like docbook maybe?). Then a web page could show the info as well as in ingame tech tree browser.

includes post defs

No need to worry about this (after the next release), I wrote a tool for baking untidefs post straight into the unitdefs. The bigger issue is that it misses all the gadgets.

"fixed" without post unitdefs:
http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balatest/changeset/3682

i guess to include post unitdefs, the nota tool (some lua widget) should be used as it runs ingame and can get all info.

Not working again *cry*

Can someone fix it? Please! Abma, you fixed previous issues, maybe you can help again?

Code: Select all

➜  ba_svn  ./mod2html.py

Fixed, it crashed on repulsors missing some expected weapon stuff ;D

[jamerlan]

thanks a lot!

[jamerlan]

Now I have this error:

probably I am using it incorrectly?
I just copied this script to trunk directory and executed without any arguments

[Silentwings]

What's happened there is that a side effect of baking unit/weapondefs_post into the unitdefs results in units that don't have death/selfd explosions getting the corresponding unitdef tags set to the empty string (previously the tags would not have been present at all) - and the python script isn't prepared for this. Probably only the meteor was affected by this.

[Beherith]

Jamerlan, despite the looks, that should be a graceful failure, and everything should still be generated just fine.

[jamerlan]

yes, looks like all files were generated

Is it possible to set destination folder for that script?
would be nice to have smth like:

Code: Select all

./mod2html.py -src ~/projects/ba/trunk -dest ~/projects/ba/modinfo

[jamerlan]

I will generate/host modinfo for each new BA version here: http://springrts.ru:8080/ba901/index.html

[jamerlan]

I updated the script. Added ability to:
1) search (filter)
2) sort columns

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5c38kl35xu9gu ... ml.py?dl=0

example how it looks like: http://springrts.ru:8080/ba901/index.html
original was look like: http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/modinfo/ba783/index.html

I am bad at python. Should I commit these changes to BA repo or not?

downside: zebra style is broken

Feel free to commit :D
