[REL] SH3rryPick

[Fader_Berg]

makman94 sent me a message a month ago which reminded me of SH3. I couldn't resist to dust off that captains hat again off course. Ahead full with it again.

I'm messing around with mods to build my setup and started to write a tool to ease the pain. It's a sorry little bastard but if you find it useful, you're more than welcome to use it.

Precondition Rules for ini-files:

• Line length MUST NOT be longer than 255 bytes
• Items MUST be separated by -at least - one blank line
• Item data MUST NOT contain a blank line
• Text UP TO the first item ([Gxx Ix]) is left as is

Help:

Usage: SH3rryPick [options] base_file [file1, file2, ...]

  Options:

    -d        diff a file with base_file
    -m        merge a file with base_file
    -o fn     output to file instead of stdout
    -h        print this help and exit
    -r        renumber items in base_file
    -v        print version and exit

Diff:

Compares two main.ini-files and outputs items that are different to the ones- or non-existent; in the base_file. Comments, group- and id number set aside.

SH3rryPick -d menu_1024_768.ini other_menu.ini > menu_diff.ini

Merge:

Merges items in a file to the ones in the base_file and outputs a renumbered version containing all items.

SH3rryPick -m menu_1024_768.ini other_menu.ini > new_menu.ini

Renumber:

Outputs a renumbered version of base_file.

SH3rryPick -r menu_1024_768.ini > menu_new.ini

Don't look straight at the bugs. You have been warned.

Hi Anvar1061.

This is not a program you need to install. You just download it, put i where you want and run it from there.
You have to run it from the command prompt (CMD) though. If you double click it, it will start a command prompt window and shut it down again so fast that you won't be able to see it.

Say you've downloaded it and put it in your SH3-folder. Open a command prompt and CD your way to your SH3-folder.

Type:

SH3rryPick -h

...and go from there.

Write a few batch files. Lots easier then the cmd stuff.

Yes. Those who thinks cmd is hard can write batch-files, which in turn has nothing to do with cmd at all.


Good point.

I have no clue what's generating that error message. It's not from the Windows Command Line.

Check out a tutorial...
