TextIDs.lua changes

[Zerahn]

Using Bastok Mines as an example, here are the proposed changes to the TextIDs.lua files to get them ready for automated updates.

This includes control codes for polutil's strange characters; instead of <Prompt> for example, it writes (0xE2)(0x89)(0xBA)Prompt(0xE2)(0x89)(0xBB). Due to the way the program runs, it will be necessary to change EVERY TextIDs.lua to this format; however once it's done any further retail updates can have this program run on them instead of manually dredging through the files. As I mentioned on IRC, the source code is BASIC. Here's the current version in the event someone wants to C-ify it. It'd probably run faster, although in present form it's capable of scanning through 14,000 xml tags in about a minute.

I had the same issue when making my script to update them, it was hanging at the '<' 0xe2,0x89,0xba/oxbb '>' . I couldnt get the scraper to be able to logically read those even with a regex for the hex code lol

[Zerahn]

I don't know what you had done, but I'm opening the xml in binary mode and reading one character at a time until it finds both < and > from an xml tag. If it's not 'field = "index"' or 'field = "text' it ignores it and moves to the next until it finds one. Once it does it searches for the </field> close tag, and dumps everything between the two into a string variable, and searches for the lua string as a substring of that.

[Metalfiiish]

Ah I was using a pythin module called elementree that inspected the tree for the proper fields and then fed me the info whi ch would then filter through a regex to clean it up and make it match the current comment that is provided next to every current defined variable in each zones txt file. Same though. .rips through the xmls from mass extractor. Kinda halted due to the regex not being able to grab the weird symbol when inpecting the elements from "element tree". Weird enuf it works to find the weird char if I manually copy it into its own string and run it theough the same regex filter. .. that's where I got stuck lol. I was reading the Xor documents from pebbles in hopes to rip it straight from the dat files and possibly bypass the weird char.

[Zerahn]

oh damn, i never thought of doing it that way. Well I did, but I thought it might slow it down a bunch or something. It's totally worth a shot though. could the stuff you were using handle UTF-8 characters? for all i know everything these days is able to, but if it can't that may have been the problem

[Metalfiiish]

Yeah the encoding was set to utf8. If I didn't the script eould crash when it hit that char lol.
