A perl script to parse, merge, and generate data files used by the 'targetless' Vendetta Online plugin.

Author: Wonko Version: Still Pre-Alpha

Usage:

Select a file to load, and click the 'Load this file' button, then be patient. This process shouldn't take more than ~30 seconds.

If you wish to merge that data with a second file, enter the second file's name, then click 'Merge this file with current data'. This process can take a few minutes, something I'm working on speeding up.

Once a new file is generated from your current data set, you'll still need to copy it over your old targetless file. Generating a new targetless file can also take a little while.

Before you copy the new data file over, DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR OLD TARGETLESS FILE! I've talked to drazed, and the new files should be 100% safe to use, but backups never hurt, right?

Notes:

The entry for selecting what file to load supports file links ("file://{some file}"). You should be able to copy a file, and paste it to the entry!

Coming soon(tm):

Faster parsing and merging More sorting options *Pre-compiled versions for people who don't get perl/Tk love by default.

Maybe another idea or two I'm thinkg about...

What features would YOU like to see added?

Special Thanks:

drazed, for creating targetless and helping me understand the format targetless uses!

Changes from previous version:

Added ability to merge data sets Added ability to generate new data files *Program is much more verbose about what what it's doing, and any potential errors that could occur.

Hidden stuff:

Added button to display raw targetless data, left it commented out. Added m_print function Cleaned up regular expressions a bit. Storing more data about each rock.
