This article provides some tips on how to make your life easier when performing various tedious tasks. As you know, any simple tasks that do not contain something like "write a poem!" are subject to automation, although this is still possible today. But here I will show you some scripts that are useful... for creating something.
Entity Lists
Creating lists of entities is not something supernatural; in fact, it is a simple task. While studying the .fgd file format, I outlined some points for myself that can be used to my advantage. Well, look!
For Source FGDs
Todo: Python impletation with GUI (PyQT6)
Important:Tested only on LinuxBug:Sometimes the script adds entities to the wrong section (with a different prefix) [todo tested in ?]Bug:Sometimes unnecessary spaces may be created. [todo tested in ?]Warning:This script is useless if the FGD format is changed in the project (on the Source Engine). This script is works with the standard Valve format of FGD files for all vanilla Source branches.The Script[1]
- Uses grep -i '^\(@solidclass\|@pointclass\|@NPCClass\)' "$1" to filter lines from the input file that start with @solidclass, @pointclass, or @NPCClass.
- Creates sections based on the prefixes extracted from the processed lines. It uses an associative array declare -A seen to keep track of prefixes that have already been processed. This ensures that each prefix corresponds to a single section.
- Uses *{{ent|$result}} to format the processed lines as wiki entries.
- The section headers are formatted as ===%s_*=== where %s is replaced with the prefix. For example, if the prefix is example, the section header will be ===example_*===. Each processed line is then added under the appropriate section.
- Handles unincluded lines by appending them to a separate "Unincluded" section at the end of the output file. This ensures that all lines are accounted for, even if they don't fit the criteria for the other sections.
