hw-data-compiler

Real simple tool for compiling extracted mod data. Point the script to the root of the mod, specify entity types to compile, watch it go.

Usage

1. Clone this repo somewhere (git clone https://github.com/HW-PlayersPatch/hw-data-compiler.git)
2. Navigate into the cloned repo (probably with cd hw-data-compiler) and run npm install
3. node main.js is the command to run the script, it can take two flags:
   1. -w: 'Write to file', writes the compiled data into a file called dump.json
   2. -db: 'Write to database', writes the compiled data into an Atlas database according to variables in your .env file (see below).
4. Follow the prompts:
   1. Enter the root of the mod you want to compile (the directory containing the keeper.txt file)
   2. Indicate which data categories you're interested in (comma seperated), valid arguments are ship, weapon, subsystem
5. Data will be parsed and compiled, and written to the flagged destinations.

.env

The -db flag expects certain variables to be present in a file called .env. Create this file via touch or however you like, make sure it's in the same directory as the mains script. Inside .env, you need to supply four variables:

• CLUSTER_USER_NAME, the name of the cluster user
• CUSTER_USER_PASS, the password of the cluster user
• CLUSTER_STR, the connection string of the cluster
• CLUSTER_DB_NAME the database to use

For example:

CLUSTER_STR=balcora-0jmga.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority
CLUSTER_USER_NAME=Fear
CLUSTER_USER_PASS=my_password
CLUSTER_DB_NAME=game_data_playerspatch_11
