Scenario database checker

[michaelm75au]

Greetings fellow scenario modders[:)]

I have completed an utility to perform an integrity check on a scenario database files.

I have used the Editor manual's requirements to perform some of the checks, but I also included other checks based on observation/requests/crashes.

I am not releasing the program until after the patch comes out, so that I can verify the program against the OOB changes.

The attachment contains a README file and a sample output.

Feedback is always welcomed.

[Download the attachment. Rename it to a ZIP file.]

I have deleted attachment. Program is available from Spooky's site.

The contents of the previous attachments:

War in the Pacific checker
Version 1.14

The integrity checks are performed on a specified scenario database.

To run the program:
witpchk.exe /d <location of scenario base> /s <scenario number> /i [use default directory]

Example:
To check scenario number 26 in the default directory, run witpchk.exe /i /s 26.

Most of these checks are based on the Editor manual, while the rest are based on "simple" logical extensions.

Only active items in a scenario are checked. Active items are where the item description is not empty and the item
type (if applicable) is not "NONE".

Items where the available or arrival date is 9999, or the date is past the end of the scenario, are not checked as
they are deemed to be outside the timeframe of the scenario.

The program also reports any items that are defined in the databases, but is not referenced/used within the scenario
scope. Bear in mind that just because an item is not referenced does not mean it is not used by WITP.

Note:
Not all messages indicate an error in database. In some cases, the error may have been designed for. Eg a ship is
scheduled to arrive as a particular class. But by the arrival date, this class has already been upgraded. For the
scenario however, we don't want the ship upgraded.

Michael,

Great work! Looking forward to using it.

[pry]

I beta tested this for Michael while working on the 1.3 patch and made several of the suggestions for the data checks. It is a really great program and will make any scenario designers job a whole lot easier and zero right in to the exact data base entry line for really quick fixes...

Two thumbs up

I beta tested this for Michael while working on the 1.3 patch and made several of the suggestions for the data checks. It is a really great program and will make any scenario designers job a whole lot easier and zero right in to the exact data base entry line for really quick fixes...

Two thumbs up

We could have used this earlier, eh Paul?[;)][:D]

Wow, this is really cool!

Great stuff, thanks!

Hi all,

Greetings fellow scenario modders[:)]

I have completed an utility to perform an integrity check on a scenario database files.

I have used the Editor manual's requirements to perform some of the checks, but I also included other checks based on observation/requests/crashes.

I am not releasing the program until after the patch comes out, so that I can verify the program against the OOB changes.

The attachment contains a README file and a sample output.

Feedback is always welcomed.

_GREAT_!!!

Thanks Michael!

Looks good![:)]

This just probably sped up War Plan Orange's release by at least a few weeks.

Great [:)]

If you want, I can host it in the Spooky's WITP Fansite ...

Any chance of getting a copy of this program before the 1.3 release?


Thanks

A great idea! A release of the checker now would give us all something to do while waiting for the Patch (and waiting, and waiting ...)

[michaelm75au]

Alright .. already. Against my better judgement, here it is.[X(]

Attached is a zip file with program.

Be aware that many warnings will be issued scanning 1.21 OOBs. Pry has worked on a lot of changes for 1.3 OOBs to correct some of these.

Please don't raise any issues based on the checks against 1.21 OOBs.[:-]

Once the patch comes out and I can re-check the program, I will ask Spooky to host it for me.

THANK YOU SIR!

I've downloaded the checker and ran it against my modified scenario. The checker appears to be excellent - it found tons of problems in my changes. Now Matrix can delay the patch for days while I clean up my errors.

Thanks[:)]

Ok, how do I get this little app to run in XP? I'm beginning to think that I'm much too stoopid to own a computer.

When I launch it, a little DOS box open, stuff whizzes by, and then it closes? What am I missing?

Sounds like a console app. I'm sure it's written a report, probably a text file file, somewhere, you just have to find it.

[michaelm75au]

Sorry, I am a computer nerd and just pipe my screen output to a file, as in
witpchk /i /s15 >report.txt

The next release will create a report file instead, so that it will be easier to view.

Hi michaelm

Can you help clearify the following?

Message "defined but not referenced"

"The program also reports any items that are defined in the databases, but is not referenced/used within the scenario scope. Bear in mind that just because an item is not referenced does not mean it is not used by WITP."

Thanks

This program should help save countless hours designing and testing scenarios.
