Stretch Goal: functionality to download Industry config, AITraffic config, World save #78

Open jackfruh opened 8 months ago

Users often want to replicate a server's environment locally so they can practice offline.

The files of interest would be: Content\V3Routes\Regions[region]\AutoSaves\Auto Save World.xml Content\V3Routes\Regions[region]\Config.ind Content\V3Routes\Regions[region]\Traffic.r8

Admins without RDP access may also want these files to test certain recovery scenarios. For these scenarios, additional world saves would be valuable. I suspect a similar mechanism used with user listings would work.

(ie: [1] Auto Save World 2023.10.11 10.00.00.xml [2] Auto Save World 2023.10.11 09.50.00.xml [3] Auto Save World 2023.10.11 09.40.00.xml )

In fact, if you wanted to be super clever... /Restore_Worldsave 3
This command could shut down the server, swap the current world save for the 3rd oldest and restart the server.

Sending a file doesn't seem like an issue on the surface as discussed here, however there is mention of the bot "having to open the file before sending" which may cause problems with the binary files.

Easy to test however. Assigning myself.

Seems to be working fine. Can add options in config file specifying which files are available and their locations

New branch for this created: 78_file_download

I think this is a good point to expand on how configparser can take advantage of being a dict to allow a variable number of file types to be defined. Basically a key:value pair for {(short)file name : file path}

e.g.

{ 'hump' : 'c:\program files\run8studios\content\socal\hump.cfg' }

add the ability to download the log file and the hostsecurity file to admins only
