Hello all! I wrote a simple shell script to help with porting mods from 0.14 to 0.15.

To use it, simply download it from here (right-click -> download linked file): https://gist.githubusercontent.com/this ... igrator.sh (v: 1.1.1)
Once you've downloaded it, open your favorite bash client, and run the following: E.g., if I downloaded it to my `~/Downloads` folder, and the mod is called `example_mod_1.0.0.zip`, and is located in the standard macOS mods folder, I would run WARNING: This is not a perfect script. There is a pretty decent chance it will make a mistake. For this reason, it will make a backup of the mod before doing any work, and it will log all its changes both to the console, and to a file called `migration_log_[mod name].txt`. Running the script on the same mod more than once might overwrite the backup.

List of changes taken from here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=44505

Fixes

These will be actively performed

• Remove spacing around '=' in locale files (' = ' -> '=')
• less_then -> less_than
• railpictures() -> rail_pictures()
• underground_belt_distance -> max_underground_distance
• game.get_event_handler -> script.get_event_handler
• game.raise_event -> script.raise_event
• alien-science-pack -> production-science-pack

Warnings

These will just notify you of problem locations.

• Lua.coroutine
• LuaGameScript::evolution_factor
• LuaPlayer::build_from_cursor
• LuaPlayer::rotate_for_build
• LuaSurface::get_tileproperties
• LuaForce::item_resource_statistics
• LuaForce::fluid_resource_statistics

Note: This will not alert you to use of `LuaGameScript::save/load`—which was also removed—since `save` and `load` are widely used keywords and would produce false positives. If people want, I can add them to the warning list though.

If you come across anything you think should be added, please let me know.

haha awesome ideaa! Thanks for automating part of the migration process!
I'm just gonna try this out for updating my mods...
