Now it's 3 silly little utilities
« on: September 03, 2012, 11:28:59 am »


               OK now as far as I know all three of these work. All 3 have documentation. All 3 are now in my public folder on dropbox. If you download any of them to try, please let me know even if you don't want to beta test them.

They are :-
  • 2DA-CSV - I now regard this to be in release candidate state. Now has a manual. Converts a 2da file into any of the following - a csv (comma seperated values) file for loading into a spreadsheet for editing.
  • OrphanHunter - Beta with manual - Finds missing and orphaned textures and lists them.
  • ScaleEmAll - Beta with manual - Resizes all models and pwks in a folder.
As far as I know these all work but for legal purposes I have to say I am not responsible for anything except breathing and I sometimes doubt that :innocent:.

Anyway I hope these may be of use to you.

               Looks interesting!

Is it possible to add another function to your 2da thinghy? Something to detect missing columns and wrong numbering with. You can now do that with the error messages, but for every change you have to do this:

1. open 2da-csv
2. click an option
3. browse to your file
4. set the output file
5. let it run, note the error line
6. shut down 2da-csv
7. open the 2da in a text editor
8. fix the error
9. start at 1

It works, but skipping the utility altogether and fix things with a text editor and Excel is  lot faster. However, a text file with all buggy stuff in one 2da file would be very handy indeed. Or perhaps a batch process that checks all 2da files and just returns the ones that have an error.

Amother suggestion: let the tool remember the last 2da input and output file you were working on. The constant browsing for a file is a bit of a game breaker for me.

This sounds a bit demanding, I know, but I think you can get so me much more out of this concept.
