-- scripts/forum-dwarves.lua -- Save a copy of a text screen for the DF forums. Use 'forumdwarves help' for more details. -- original author: Caldfir -- edited by expwnent local args = {...} if args[1] == 'help' then print([[ description: This script will attempt to read the current df-screen, and if it is a text-viewscreen (such as the dwarf 'thoughts' screen or an item 'description') then append a marked-up version of this text to the target file. Previous entries in the file are not overwritten, so you may use the 'forumdwarves' command multiple times to create a single document containing the text from multiple screens (eg: text screens from several dwarves, or text screens from multiple artifacts/items, or some combination). known screens: The screens which have been tested and known to function properly with this script are: 1: dwarf/unit 'thoughts' screen 2: item/art 'description' screen 3: individual 'historical item/figure' screens There may be other screens to which the script applies. It should be safe to attempt running the script with any screen active, with an error message to inform you when the selected screen is not appropriate for this script. target file: The target file's name is 'forumdwarves.txt'. A remider to this effect will be displayed if the script is successful. character encoding: The text will likely be using system-default encoding, and as such will likely NOT display special characters (eg:È,ı,Á) correctly. To fix this, you need to modify the character set that you are reading the document with. 'Notepad++' is a freely available program which can do this using the following steps: 1: open the document in Notepad++ 2: in the menu-bar, select Encoding->Character Sets->Western European->OEM-US 3: copy the text normally to wherever you want to use it ]]) return end local utils = require 'utils' local gui = require 'gui' local dialog = require 'gui.dialogs' local colors_css = { [0] = 'black', [1] = 'navy', [2] = 'green', [3] = 'teal', [4] = 'maroon', [5] = 'purple', [6] = 'olive', [7] = 'silver', [8] = 'gray', [9] = 'blue', [10] = 'lime', [11] = 'cyan', [12] = 'red', [13] = 'magenta', [14] = 'yellow', [15] = 'white' } local scrn = dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen() local flerb = dfhack.gui.getFocusString(scrn) local function format_for_forum(strin) local strout = strin local newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[P]', 1, true) while newline_idx ~= nil do strout = string.sub(strout,1, newline_idx-1)..'\n'..string.sub(strout,newline_idx+3) newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[P]', 1, true) end newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[B]', 1, true) while newline_idx ~= nil do strout = string.sub(strout,1, newline_idx-1)..'\n'..string.sub(strout,newline_idx+3) newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[B]', 1, true) end newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[R]', 1, true) while newline_idx ~= nil do strout = string.sub(strout,1, newline_idx-1)..'\n'..string.sub(strout,newline_idx+3) newline_idx = string.find(strout, '[R]', 1, true) end local color_idx = string.find(strout, '[C:', 1, true) while color_idx ~= nil do local colormatch = (string.byte(strout, color_idx+3)-48)+((string.byte(strout, color_idx+7)-48)*8) strout = string.sub(strout,1, color_idx-1)..'[/color][color='..colors_css[colormatch]..']'..string.sub(strout,color_idx+9) color_idx = string.find(strout, '[C:', 1, true) end return strout end if flerb == 'textviewer' then local lines = scrn.src_text local line = "" if lines ~= nil then local log = io.open('forumdwarves.txt', 'a') log:write("[color=silver]") for n,x in ipairs(lines) do if x ~= nil and x.value ~= nil then log:write(format_for_forum(x.value), ' ') end end log:write("[/color]\n") log:close() end print 'data prepared for forum in \"forumdwarves.txt\"' else print 'this is not a textview screen' end
