Script to extract a map from a save game

jbar · Post by **jbar** » March 1st, 2006, 5:51 am

I have make this nice a small but usefull script to extract a map from a saved game.
Specially usefull when u saw a funny map on the wesnoth server : just go in the game (as observatory or player... then save the game and run my script with the name of ur save !)
u can try --help or email me any suggestion (just open the shell script to know who i am).

Have fun, bye.

As my script seems to be more usefull than I though I have made some minor improvements and 1 bugs resolving :
-> You don't need to use the -rp option if u like to use the completion to find the saved_game file.
-> The script won't concatenate multiples maps present in the saved_game file.

1 very minor bug is still possible (others data than map at the end of the map), but u are really really unlucky if u meet him.

thank you! it works perfectly, it'd be nice to have this functionality implemented in Wesnoth itself.

Yes, I also thought short about that...
It would be nice if there is a button to start the script in the "load" dialog and then you are asked for a name and itÃ‚Â´s saved in the custom maps folder automatically.

Any chance of a working WINDOWS script?

I've developed one this afternoon.
But it should work everywhere else where you can install Java Runtime Enviroment.

And you will have to install JRE if you have not already done it. Available for free at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp.

Hope it works (I have tested it on my PC, Windows XP).

I have just uploaded an updated version.

Please tell me if the script works.

Sorry to say,but it doesnÃ‚Â´t.
It says that Imay have forgotten to turn on the birnary saves in the prefrence menu,which I havenÃ‚Â´t.

Hmm, which System are you using?

And: Have you just turned binary saves off when you read it in the ReadMe file or is the save you tried to load already a text file (Check if you can open it with an ASCII-Editor without seeing confusing Symbols)

Oh silly me!

I enterd "enabled" in the Error message!
Of course it should mean "not enabled".

Arrg!

Ok I have uploaded a correct version.
Although the old one should (if it was really just the problem that you tried to use a binary file) work correctly.

When I wrote the I coded this in the afternoon I was actually meaning night...

Yep,now itÃ‚Â´s working fine.

Your script is nice, but seems to be cumbersome... I have to find wesnoth every single time.

Why do you need a script for?

If you lookup a save game, you will find the map easily in that file. Just open it with an editor. Than you copy the bits out of the file into a new one. It should look something like:

rrgggggg
ggrrgggg
ggggrrgg
ggggggrr

Copy your new file to userdata/editor/maps/ without restarting Wesnoth you can use the map.
