A list of custom components

What I need is:
1. the component txt file; found in either the components folder or the components cfz file. NOT the gmf.
2. the weight of that component, which in most cases can be found in the component txt file, or in the game.
3 The name of the component.
4. the link to the download zip of the component/pack

in this format:
component name, componenttextfile.txt, weight, download link

if its a single component please list them like this:
Mini CO2 Airtank, a5099air.txt, 55*, https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2...o2_airtank.zip
Blue Bird, bluebird1.txt, 66*, https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2.../blue_bird.zip

If its a pack like this:
Dark Pack 1 (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2...pack_v1.0.exe-)
component name, componenttextfile.txt, weight
component name 2, componenttextfile2.txt, weight

What I need this for:
I will make is so when uploading bots to the exchange you will not to do anything but give the bot file. The script will calculate the bot weight and extract the bot preview image automagicly. It will also provide a list of required downloads on the download page.

people who help will be given the following:
-early access to the bot exchange

I have a feeling I know what it is for... (and possibly why ACAMS had a similar question)

Anyways, a couple quick questions:
1. What do you want done when multiple packs include the same components (such as DSL-Components&AI and DSL-Components or between versions)
2. What custom components are you wanting? (GTM Downloads Section, RFSHQ Downloads Section, Member Signatures, Member Sites (such as Giga's site))
3. Who plans on helping? (my time is more limited than before so I can't be counted on for everything (although, I will volunteer some help))

Anyone wanting to help (but not wanting to make a list) can use the info that I gave in ACAMS thread to make a list in Goose's format.

goose · « **Reply #2 on:** October 31, 2009, 07:29:00 PM »

Thanks Trov.

as for everyone else:tongue:

Trovaner · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2009, 12:17:41 AM »

Thanks for the appreciation.

Anyways, here is another Batch file that will make doing this a lot easier:
(Copy this into a file named "TextFilePrinter2.bat")

Code: [Select]

::Author - Trovaner
::Description - Makes a list of RA2 component names, files, and weights
::What To Do - 
::  1. Put this in the same folder as the RA2 component text files
::  2. Double click this batch file
::  3. Copy and paste (or save) the results somewhere else
::  4. Complete the formatting listed here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2714
::  5. Reply to the above thread with your results

for %%a in (*.txt) do (set file= %%a & call :Create &quot;%%a&quot;)
goto Complete

:Create
for /F &quot;tokens=*&quot; %%b in (%file%) do set %%b
echo %name :~1%,%file:~0,-1%,%mass % >> TextFileList.tmp
goto :EOF

:Complete
::Pause
START /w NOTEPAD.EXE TextFileList.tmp
del TextFileList.tmp

Now all you really need to do is write the name of the pack and where to download it (following the format Goose gave in his first post). It now automatically opens the file where it stored the list, deletes automatically after closing out of notepad, looks inside of the text files for the desired information, formats things better, and got quite a bit more complicated.

@Goose: Whenever you have time, could you answer the questions in my previous post.

@Everyone Else: Please post if you want to help out. Before doing anything, please post whatever you plan on doing so that no one else does it. I'm still very busy so I'm not going to request any sections yet but I might do something later... (but like I'm trying to get you guys to do, I'll post what it is before starting)

goose · « **Reply #4 on:** November 05, 2009, 04:01:59 AM »

1.Just do the latest version of the pack.

2.Do any pack you can find, I want a comprehensive list of ALL parts, if possible.

nice batch file.

I guess Trov is the only one that wants access to the bot exchange...

ashman12 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:27:01 AM »

i would help but i have no idea what to do.

are you just wanting a list if the names of the components like for example the d1 components pack.

the first is d1_blade so.

blade.gmf

next is d1_bumper so.

bumper1.gmf
bumper2.gmf.

if that is what you mean i could help most of the time as i never have anything to do so i could do that.
if not then i dont know if i could help.

ashman12 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:32:29 PM »

if so ill give you alot if you want.

goose · « **Reply #9 on:** November 09, 2009, 02:06:42 AM »

odd, I could have swore I posted a response, guess it did not go through...

What I need is:
1. the component txt file; found in either the components folder or the components cfz file. NOT the gmf.
2. the weight of that component, which in most cases can be found in the component txt file, or in the game.
3 The name of the component.
4. the link to the download zip of the component/pack

if its a single component please list them like this:
Mini CO2 Airtank, a5099air.txt, 55*, https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2...o2_airtank.zip
Blue Bird, bluebird1.txt, 66*, https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2.../blue_bird.zip

If its a pack like this:
Dark Pack 1 (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2...pack_v1.0.exe-)
component name, componenttextfile.txt, weight
component name 2, componenttextfile2.txt, weight

What I need this for:
I will make is so when uploading bots to the exchange you will not to do anything but give the bot file. The script will calculate the bot weight and extract the bot preview image automagicly. It will also provide a list of required downloads on the download page.

people who help will be given the following:
-early access to the bot exchange
-name put on the credits page
-I will have your babies?

people who don't:
will have ads on the exchange, maybe.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #10 on:** November 09, 2009, 04:26:59 AM »

I will provide you with all the Backlash Components once I finish balancing all the values (which will be a little longer away)

I can do all the CC2 prize components if you like

Naryar · « **Reply #11 on:** November 09, 2009, 07:33:05 AM »

This is going to take forever if we get all the existing components...

Why don't you make the bot exchange just for stock and DSL for now ?

Stock is the only thing done(thanks ACAMS), Someone do DSL 2.0

ashman12 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 09, 2009, 09:56:35 AM »

im never really up to something so ill be able to give a lot of stuff.

i might wait to do the weight of the robot as it would mean that i would have to install them all because i only have clean copies the now because my game kept messing up.

ill update post soon after digging out the files from hard drive and all the places they are hiding in.

cephalopod · « **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2009, 10:23:46 AM »

ACAMS · « **Reply #17 on:** November 09, 2009, 11:06:47 AM »

I wish I could help... but my knowledge with this stuff is not all that good.

As a cheerleader though, I will say thanks for working on this project! You guys are awesome.
