Problems with FotS startpos #3

Closed Primergy closed 7 years ago

Primergy commented 9 years ago

Hey, I wanted to convert the "Fall of the Samurai" startpos, but it only gives me 3 folders out. The conversion works with Shogun2 startpos, so i assume there were version changes.

What I wanted to try was to get an entry from the "Rise of the Samurai", specifically the "unit_names_allocator" and paste it to the FotS Startpos to see if can enable regiment names like in etw.

Isn't FotS when they started compressing startos.esf?

You need (de)compression program lzma.exe, which is conveniently even included here.

unpack_nested_esf and pack_nested_esf scripts conveniently do it all (unpack, uncompress, unpack second time, and the reverse) in one command.

Ah, didn't know that they are compressed now. But conversion works now. Thanks!

But now I run into another problem. I wanted to extract the "HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR" entries with xml_split and entered following code (:HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR => HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR/",) but it doesn't work.

taw commented 9 years ago

:HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR => "HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR/", should work.

In which way it doesn't work? Crashes, or just doesn't split that?

Primergy commented 9 years ago

It doesn't split that specific part

taw commented 9 years ago

Did you try maybe splitting one level higher or something like that, if that's good enough? If not, just drop that file somewhere, and I'll take a look at it.

Primergy commented 9 years ago

One level higher (and deeper) didn't worked either. here you can find the RotS startpos, would be great if you could take a quick look at it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o989ylr9hhfnhs1/startpos.esf?dl=0

I fixed some Ruby 2.x compatibility problems (it was crashing on me in one of data structures introduced in S2 DLC time).

And I included HERO_UNIT_NAME_ALLOCATOR line in the code, and I'm getting it just fine in the output.

Primergy commented 9 years ago

Well, atleast we know that the error is on my side, though I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Might it be possible that you send me unpacked startpos as zip?

Closing as presumably solved by now.
