--append doesn't appends when work with BAF?
« on: April 10, 2008, 11:40:58 AM »
I've got a number of baf files and want to traify and translate them. As they are very small and contains the similar text I want to make only one TRA file for all of them to leave out coincident strings.
So I use
Code: [Select]
weidu --traify baf\foo1.baf --append baf-tra\foo.baf //baf\foo1.baf contains text stringsand then
Code: [Select]
weidu --traify baf\foo2.baf --append baf-tra\foo.baf //baf\foo2.baf contains text strings
But baf-tra\foo.tra file contains only strings from baf\foo2.baf file and doesn't contains any strings from baf\foo1.baf.
Tell me, please, is the bug in my head or in the program? :)

And one more thing. I realize that  WeiDU doesn't create baf-tra directory. If that folder doesn't exist WeiDU returns an error. Is it right thing?

I hope somebody with working experience with actual traification will come and help you. Generally speaking, though, I can't think of any way to traify so that the same TRA file is shared between multiple files.

I have this totally hideous "Search for all BAF strings, copy to new TRA, process duplicates, search for ~string~ in all BAFs replacing with @ reference." But it's probably not what you want. :-)

OK, it should be something like this:

# for the first file
mkdir baf-tra
weidu --traify baf/firstfile.baf --out baf-tra

# for each subsequent file
weidu --traify baf/nthfile.baf --out baf-tra --traify-old-tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra
rename baf-tra/nthfile.tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra

you'll end up with baf-tra/firstfile.tra and baf-tra/*.baf files.

Double- and triple- check that it does what you want before repeating the process for 1000 files and having some of the originals overwritten or other wrong result, though.

Yes, my script would do it, except that --traify doesn't currently work on a BAF file containing @x references (which happens behind the scenes if you use --traify-old-tra). If you need this to release a mod soon, tell me so that I can send you the beta link (don't use it for shipping your mod though, just for traification).

Thank you very much!
--traify-old-tra argument is really what I needed instead --append!
I've tried the script you posted and in win/dos command line it looks like this

# for the first file
mkdir baf-tra
weidu --traify baf/firstfile.baf --out baf-tra

# for each subsequent file
weidu --traify baf/nthfile.baf --out baf-tra --traify-old-tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra
copy baf-tra/nthfile.tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra //rename can't override existing files in win

But unfortunately as you said this script doesn't traify all BAFs. I don't really need to release a mod as soon as possible so if you want to make changes in tne next WeiDU versions I can wait.
If not, send me the link please.

What I mean is, I have a version of WeiDU sitting on my hard drive that can run the script above. If you want that to experimentate and/or to traify your mod, give me a nudge.

Quote from: the bigg
weidu --traify baf/nthfile.baf --out baf-tra --traify-old-tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra
rename baf-tra/nthfile.tra baf-tra/firstfile.tra

I tried to make a batch file for  win/dos that can traify any modification with the cycle:
Code: [Select]
for %%i in (*.baf) do (weidu --traify %%i --out new\%%i --logapp --log log_baf.txt)But the second commad can't be added into the cycle (or I simply don't know how to do it?).

I imagine, if there will be a command line option like a --out-tra X to set a TRA file to output with the --traify command, the cycle can be made with the only oitput of SETUP.tra:
Code: [Select]
for %%i in (*.baf) do (weidu --traify %%i --out new\%%i --out-tra SETUP.tra --traify-old-tra baf-tra/SETUP.tra --logapp --log log_baf.txt)May I ask you to make it, mr.Bigg? Or it's too hard to realize?
Or maybe somebody know how to automate traifiing BAFs with appending strings into setup-mymod.tra?

--out-tra is possible.

For now, if you want to chain multiple commands in a single dos-style for loop, either abuse if (which can use multiple commands via ()), or use call + external bat file. You can't do multiple commands natively in a for loop.

Code: [Select]
for %%i in (*.baf) do if "a" == "a" (
weidu --traify %%i --out new\%%i --logapp --log log_baf.txt --traify-old-tra tra/setup.tra
move new\%%~dpni tra/setup.tra
)
... or something, I'd rather install cygwin and use a Bash-style loop  ;)

Great! As my experience in bash even less then in win/dos command line, I've used this loop for win/dos:
Code: [Select]
for %%i in (*.baf) do if "a" == "a" (
weidu --traify %%i --out new\%%i --logapp --log log_baf.txt --traify-old-tra new\setup.tra
move new\%%~ni.tra new\setup.tra
)
(beta-version 20601 also asked me to use --game path) and all text strings from TP2 and BAF files was moved into the new\setup.tra.

Thank you very much, mr.Bigg!
