I need some help With the bot exchange.

[goose]

I just noticed this......that means I have to redo all I have done. (or atleast go through it and make the corrections)
 
Do you plan to find a fix for this soon?

In the bot exchange admin there will be an area to modify the components info.

thanks serge, I think I got it covered now.

[Trovaner]

I probably shouldn't be up still but....

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. Save the file or copy/paste it into something 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 :CreateList "%%a")
if exist styles (for %%b in (styles/*.txt) do (set file=styles\%%b & call :CreateList "%%b"))
goto Complete

:CreateList
findstr mass %file%
if errorlevel 1 (
echo %file% >> Problems.tmp
goto :EOF
)
for /F "tokens=*" %%c in (%file%) do set %%c
set file=%file:styles\=%
echo %name :~1%, %file:~0,-1%,%mass % >> TextFileList.tmp
goto :EOF

:Complete
if exist Problems.tmp (
START /w NOTEPAD.EXE Problems.tmp
del Problems.tmp
)
START /w NOTEPAD.EXE TextFileList.tmp
del TextFileList.tmp

Just save it to whatever you want as long as the extension is ".bat"

This version prints out a separate file for all text files that cause errors or are missing values. It will also automatically add the styles folder to the main list.

it seems there's a big deal with the weight calculation.
- First idea is to parse the xx.bot, notice the components used, use a kind of database to retrieve the weight of each component, than calculate the chassis weight, sum all -> get the final weight ! this seems to be your path.

-second idea should have been to computer-drive RA2, load the bot in the lab and parse the standard output to get the calculated weight -> i've seen no way to make any 'free' revamping with  RA2

-third idea should have been to modify the main.py (or another.py) so the uploader calls RA2 which load a bot, calculates the weight than exit before awaiting any user input. : I did not found anyway to force a bot loading par program.

remains a last idea : if you can't do it the simple way -> don't do it, let someone else do it for you  : so the uploader will do nothing : this is the bot-sender responsibility to provide the weight: It may be done manually or by 'modifying' the practice arena that should deliver a textfile that gives bot weight (and any other information) . The bot-sender 'packs' its bots and the description file in a .zip. The uploader just verifies that both information are available (and may be in 'good format').
To my point of view, this last solution is the easiest one.

It would be a huge help if the error page would print..
 
Component Name, component.txt

[Serge]

First option. A component DB is not that hard to make, seriously, it's just another SQL table and a script to parse txt files and dump the data to that table.

A component data base on gametechmods would be nice, but all I can do is fill it and host it.  Do we have a volunteer?

[Somebody]

The ][cer Parts have no .txt files, so what do I do now?

[ashman12]

has it got a .cfz. if it has decompile it.

Actually, Doing this for the botexchange will create a component database.

[JoeBlo]

it would be cool if after the bot exchange tells you the components, go through a database and click on each individual component and it downloads it
