Return of Reckoning

Greetings Mod Maker Extraordinaires!

I'm a bit of a mod making novice. I've made a few mods in the past that have been loved (GoIgnoreYourself, Unbearable, LetMeSpeak to name a few) but im no expert at LUA or mod making. I'm just a hack that gets lucky when I find pieces of something else that works when I put them together.

The Project
I'm trying to write a mod that a user can type "/dumpguild" and the game will take the data from GetGuildMemberData() and export it into a saved file named "guild.xml", "guild.lua", or even better "guild.json". It should be a fairly simple script but it's been years since i last LUAed and i'm a bit rusty.

Any pros know how i can take GetGuildMemberData() and export it to a text file?

here you go:

use /dumpguild and it'll export the guildlist to a file under "logs/GExport.txt"

thou it will have timestamps (wich is a tradeoff for using the textlog saving), but you can probably make something to sub them out in post

Thanks! Its an awesome head start!

Great. Will check it out.

how do you want/need the output format to be?

is it possible to make a 2nd command for extended data? (class,level, title, special etc.) seperated by " ; " for easy excel import?

thanks!

added another command: /dumpguild2 wich will output the guildlist with additional info on each memmber to GExport2.txt, (it also has line breaking but some text editors won't show them; ex: notepad, but wordpad will, aslo if opening it into excel, don't seperate with spacing)

Very Nice. Got it working and with semicolons seperation in Excel works qite good if you go to excel first and then select Data-Import.

As this might not be possible but Account name would be a great extra information. So I can see what chars each player has at his disposal. But I think this maybe stored in another table. I dont know though.

that was fast. :O
many thanks. that makes stuff really easy now.

I've made some upgrades to the mod on my end to export even more data.

My Modified Version GExport.lua:
---------------------------------------------------
function GExport.Export(input)

GuildMember = GetGuildMemberData()
TextLogDestroy("Export")
TextLogCreate("Export", 300)
TextLogSetEnabled("Export", true)
LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp("Export", false)
LogDisplaySetShowLogName("Export", false)
TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("Export", true, L"logs/export.txt")

nisse = "|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildID).."|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildName).."|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildRank).."|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildRenown).."|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildExpCurrent).."|"..tostring(GameData.Guild.m_GuildExpNeeded).."\n"

for k in pairs(GuildMember) do
nisse = nisse..""..tostring(GuildMember[k].memberID).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].name).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].rank).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].careerString).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].statusNumber).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].titleString).."|"..tostring(GuildMember[k].lastLoginNumberYear).."-"..tostring(GuildMember[k].lastLoginNumberMonth).."-"..tostring(GuildMember[k].lastLoginNumberDay).."\n"
end
TextLogAddEntry("Export", 1245, towstring(nisse))
TextLogSaveLog("Export")
TextLogSetIncrementalSaving("Export", false, L"logs/export.txt")
EA_ChatWindow.Print(L"GuildRoster Exported to logs/export.txt")
end

---------------------------------------------------

I was wondering if anyone new a way to pull the current renown and exp of each player in the roster.
