html generation from mob *.cs scripts

[Pyro-Tech]

i thought you were supposed to run the csmob2html file, and within that, it runs the mulext file.

and if that isn't it, i know when i did run the csmob2html i had to type perl in front of it with a space

c:\whatever\perl csmob2html.pl

or something like that

and in dos i thought you had to put the file extension at the end too?

i could be wrong.....just saying what i am understanding

this is the cfg

is it something I'm doing?

in your paths use this slash / .. Windows does use the \ slash, but this is perl. And you also should need the trailing slash...
for example ...

C:/TEMP/Scripts/

i thought you were supposed to run the csmob2html file, and within that, it runs the mulext file.

Yes.. this is what you are supposed to do.

I'm still getting an error .....

<<skipped>>

is it something I'm doing?

Try to add to all paths ending slashes. For example:

somepath=c:/tempuo/

(I prefer slashes but ot backslashes in the paths )

and run csmob2html again, i think this time everythibg be ok...

Please help,

From the first look the config is ok. Is the csmob2html produce any output when you run it ?
Check the script produced any html pages. If it does, this looks like the problem in the path to uo client or with the uo 2d client itself (as i mention in manual i didnt test this on 3d client resources).
If even no pages generated check the existence of the output path, also try to run any over simple perl proggy, for example like this:

print STDOUT "Hello world !";

Save this like to a file called for example test.pl and run it. If you don't see 'Hello world !' output, than you have a problem with perl or dont know how to run perl scripts...

Missing pictures bug fixed in 0.55 release Just rerun script with this version...

 

[LordHogFred]

my config is producing all the pages correctly but not the pictures. I have the stats of all the mobs that I have chosen but none of them have pcitures, the mulext doesn't even seem to be running when I use csmob2htm;.pl

 

[KillerBeeZ]

C:\TEMP\csmob2html.pl
Backslash found where operator expected at - line 1, near "TEMP\"
C:/TEMP/csmob2html.pl
Bareword found where operator expected at - line 2, near "/TEMP/csmob2html"

I really have no idea how to use perl, I got the original version of this to work when you 1st created it, but can't seem to get this one to work.

All paths are correct in the cfg, I just don't know how to run the program, or at least it doesn't seem like I do.

Do you have mulext.exe in the same folder as csmob2html.pl ?
Again, check this line in your config:

uopath = D:/Ultima Online 2D/

Make sure uo *.mul's are located in there are.

Check for no spaces after ending slash in the path - delete them if you have any.
I will include in the next version path validation and trimming routines, but for now hope this workaround helps you.

just type this line from the folder csmob2html resides:

c:\somewhere\>c:\perl\bin\perl csmob2html.pl

Hope this helps.

Version 0.56 reposted.
* Again fixed some bug with mulext call from the script
* Added AOS monsters picture extraction support
* Fixed small bug in mulext

This version should resolve the picture extraction problem.

Looks like i find out the reason why the pictures can not be generated. This is related with strange behavior of command processor on windows (at least at w2k with sp4).
If you extract csmob2html to folder with spaces, for example "c:/ext tool/" try to run mulext like csmob2html do:
"c:/ext tool/mulext" "c:/uo/" 0 110 "c:/ext tool/out/"
you will catch an error, but this one works fine:
"c:/ext tool/mulext"
As a result i cant supply parameters if any spaces in the path...

btw, can anybody drop here a link to the pages and pics generated by latest version of this script ? I will post this link in the first message like example of the script output. Thanks.

 

[twig]

I have been realy enjoying you making this system.. i have been testing with it since you first posted it. I was about to start making my own list of creatures like this *gasp* by hand!! *eek* So this is a life saver..

One suggestion would be.. if the pictures can be generated in jpg format. Jpg is a much more web friendly format, and smaller in size.

One bug I can pick out right now is that when the HTML files are generated.. after the <%TABLERESIST%>, the <%TABLEATTACK%> and the <%TABLESKILLS%> tables.. </table> is generated twice! (See example1) That will mess with people using other tables to format things more.

Example1

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="black">
<tr><th>Resistance</th><th>*</th>
<tr><td>Physical</td><td>45-50</td></tr>
<tr><td>Fire</td><td>30-40</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cold</td><td>25-35</td></tr>
<tr><td>Poison</td><td>30-40</td></tr>
<tr><td>Energy</td><td>30-40</td></tr>
</table></table>

About that link you want to a created list.. do you want the list to be "stock" looking? The setup I am making for my shard is formated to look like the rest of our website.. http://Alterra.Twigsjoint.com open "Inhabitants" then click "Critters".

Version 0.6 reposted.
* Output images now produced in jpg format
* Fixed template parser function (Thanks to twig !)
* Small additions to config reader

Please read warning at the beggining of the first post.

 

[Pyro-Tech]

i have yet to ever get the pictures to generate....i even tried it as a one word as you had said it might be due to spaces in the file name

what else could it be?? i just get the red X

The only way i can suggest is try to resolve the problem together. Drop me a private message with your icq number and i will contact you in a few days.

 

[twig]

version 0.6 is working great for me so far.. I have the updated output live on my site (http://Alterra.twigsjoint.com click Inhabitants then Critters).

Wish I had the knowledge to help out with the body.cfg to get the rest of the pictures.

The problem with the bodys not the primary, i wish i could undrstand how to hues are applyed I will ask this on some of the developer subforums here. Or its time to ask Phantom as i remember he write some kind of InsideUO clone

btw, twig are you the one who was mentioned in the UOX docs manual ?

btw, twig are you the one who was mentioned in the UOX docs manual ?

Yep.. thats me. I helped out as much as I could with UOX back in the day.. Wrote a bunch of the Help Files. As limited as the UOX scripting system was back then, it was easy for me to use in a very complicated way others did not think of. I have many awsome ideas ready to script for RunUO, but still learning the basics with C#. hehehe

Alterra (my shard) was about the biggest one back then, we pretty much were the shard that gave the UOX devs all their input and did all the big player testing. I remember helping with many programs as they were made that are used everyday now (InsideUO, UOGateway, all the goods ones ). *ramble ramble* Anyone here remember when UOGateway only had 2 servers listed?? hehehe

Yeah, the hues will be nice. Especially with custom creatures using the same body as an older creature, but the hue is what gives the fealing of the new creature.
