Locale changes in 0.11.0 -- the moding part

[cube]

So, in 0.11.0 there will be some locale changes as a side effect of moving to web based translation platform instead of the current git / forum mess (but more on that later and elsewhere).

The only change that directly affects modders will be that the scenario and campaign locales are now loaded in the same way as the main ones for base and core.
For every language there is a subdirectory with the language code as a name, all files inside this subdirectory with extension *.cfg are loaded as a locale.

I'm putting here my tiny script I used to convert base and scenario pack, if anyone of you is on unix system and feels brave enough to use it :-)
You run this command in the mod_root/scenarios and mo_root/campaigns directories and everything should be all right :-)

Code: Select all

find -name locale -type d | while read path ; do echo $path ; name=$(echo $path | sed 's|^./||; s|/locale$||; s|/|_|') ; for f in $path/*.cfg ; do language=$(basename $f .cfg); mkdir $path/$language ; mv $f $path/$language/$name.cfg ; done ; done

Those of you on windows -- can't help you ... sorry :-)

get/use cygwin and copy/paste the script into the terminal, or if you want to use it as a shell script then paste it into notepad++ and make sure to use the edit->EOL Conversion->UNIX/OSX Format (or you'll probably get unexpected EOF error lol, confused me a second until I thought about that).
I'll see if I can remember some .bat scripting and paste that here for anyone interested in a bit.

edit: yeah... I don't remember much batch anymore, not that I knew too much then lol managed to get this um, thing written that 'kind of' works but no where near as nicely as what cube provided (place in scenarios\x and run...)

poor batch

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
set rm=0 REM mkdir seems to be creating an extra "locale" folder...this is for cleanup later
if not exist locale\ goto END
cd locale
if exist locale\ set rm=1
for /r %%F in (*.cfg) do (
    mkdir %%~nF 2> nul
    move %%~nxF %%~nF\locale.cfg 2> nul
)
if %rm% NEQ 1 rmdir locale 2> nul
echo finished!
pause
exit
:END
echo No locale directory found
pause
exit

edit2:

better batch

well, batch(es), this one uses a separate str.bat file to get the length of filenames, due to it's setup it should be possible to run this from data\base and have it 'correct' everything...you'll need to comment out the set whatif line to use this, you should run it with whatif uncommented first though just to make sure it wouldn't do something crazy...and/or make a backup

Code: Select all

@echo off
set whatif=test REM comment this line out with REM at the front to actually let this work.
set here="%cd%"
for /r %%d in (.) do (
  if %%~nd EQU locale (
    REM move into found locale and save current directory
    pushd "%%~fd"
    for /r %%f in (*.cfg) do (
      if %%~nf NEQ locale (
        REM prevent moving files with lengths longer than 2
        call %here%\str.bat %%~nf
        if not ERRORLEVEL 3 (
            if defined whatif (
                echo would make %%~dpnf directory and move %%~nxf into %%~nf\locale.cfg
            ) else (
                mkdir %%~nf
                move %%~nxf %%~nf\locale.cfg
            )
        )
      )
    )
    popd
  )
)

Code: Select all
