feature request: extract TRIGSTRs

[Cokemonkey11]

Would be useful for migrating old maps and it should be fairly trivial to do, I would think?

[Frotty]

do you mean just plain extract? why not use an mpq editor?

[Cokemonkey11]

I meant to extract and replace "TRIGSTR_003" in wurst, with contents of map strings. (Strings get created by GUI AFAIK)

[Frotty]

Already done for wurst created objects. Inlining of WTS entries is more a task for the finalizer, not compiler imo.

[Cokemonkey11]

Hmm, I was thinking just a tool in the editor. But extracting to a file would be fine too. I don't care too much how it's done.

[Frotty]

I still don't get it.

In wurst? What does that even mean?

So a command just to extract the .wts from a map? Why?

Maybe write a user story of what you're actually trying to accomplish. Seems pretty pointless to me.

(Strings get created by GUI AFAIK)

They get created by the world editor in all sorts of places

I think the story is something like this:

1. have map written in GUI
2. convert to Jass files
3. replace TRIGSTRs with new tool
4. start rewriting Jass to Jurst/Wurst
5. ???
6. profit

Ah okay, GUI. I was confused because nonGUI map code only contains like 4 TRIGSTRs. But who converts GUI maps to wurst?

But who converts GUI maps to wurst?

I did, here: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/pastebin/575155029c53ff3ff4364546b25ed4bc16336/

It was for the contest, which had a theme "Update a map that is 15 years old".

In this case it was particularly annoying because the starting map was a cinematic with hundreds of TRIGSTRs

[Krypt0n]

use this: https://bin.wurstlang.org/dipejosobi.wurst

[Cokemonkey11]

Just from skimming that code, it looks like it won't work if you have two TRIGSTR on the same line

[Krypt0n]

that is true, I used it only once, may need adaptions to other situations
