Update the list of files installed by "scons install-pytools", dropping Python2
versions and adding their Python3 replacements. This doesn't update any
`import` statements, as the tools have already been ported to use the Python3
modules - the scons script was out of date and was still bundling the wrong
versions.
Note for anyone looking at the history - although most of the current
tools have a '3' in the name just to indicate that they're the Python 3 version,
there's a double-meaning to that number in wmlparser3.py's name. There was a
`wmlparser2.py`, where the `2` indicates a redesign of the original.
The data/tools/README.md file was renamed from plain README without being
converted to Markdown format. This commit touches about half of that file;
headings in that half are updated to be Markdown, but to reduce the diff the
other headings aren't updated.
It seems unused, as there's:
* Wiki: no mention of rmtrans
* main Git repo: only the brief paragraph in the tools readme
* resources repo: no mention of it
* forums: only as part of a general list of Python files
* Github issues and PRs: only as part of a general list of Python files
FWIW, I think it's already possible to do with Gimp's default tools ("Colors",
"Curves ...", select channel "Alpha", select curve type "Freehand", click in
the bottom-left of the box and sweep down, then to the left edge of the box,
then as far right as required).
In certain situations, the 'directly_in_event' list was allowed to become empty and cause a crahs because the code was unable to handle amendment tags.
- Piercer was removed, it's line starts now from L2
(Rider has different properties, but can advance to it)
- Strider is a better replacement for Monawish
(Skirmisher was once a L2 and is now L1, while Strider is the new L2)
closes#4658
Trackviewer shows a journey without needing to start Wesnoth and refresh the
cache. Combined with tmx_trackplacer, the python3 versions now have
feature-parity with the old trackplacer, without the reliance on python2 or
pygtk (fixes#4365).
At least on Linux you can have both Tiled and this open on the same file. Save
the file in Tiled, alt+tab to this, and press enter to reload the file.
The python2 trackplacer included both the handling of the file format, and the
GUI application. This trackplacer3 is a library for the file format, without
the GUI.
The new tmx_trackplacer is a command-line tool for exporting the data to
Tiled's .tmx format, and re-importing it back to .cfg files, so that the GUI of
Tiled can be used to avoid reimplementing the GUI of Trackplacer in Python 3.
The implementation uses Tiled's Object Layers (not Tile Layers). This allows
additional journey markers to be added with the "Insert Tile" tool, and
additional journeys to be added as new layers.
It can also read in a .cfg and then re-export it to a new .cfg file, to see if
the data is preserved. The format is chosen by the output filename.
The old trackplacer2 isn't removed in this commit - before removing it, I think
trackplacer3 needs some way to preview the animation.
----- Comments on the mainline campaigns: -----
AToTB, DM, LoW, NR and THoT will work with this. But:
Northern Rebirth's bigmap.cfg has a track RECOVERY whose STAGE1 starts with
an OLD_REST - that isn't handled by trackplacer, it must have been hand-edited.
That OLD_REST will be lost when read by either trackplacer2 or trackplacer3,
similarly the OLD_BATTLE of LoW's SAURIANS track will be lost.
Delfador's Memoirs SEARCH_STAGE1 is omitted from all subsequent parts of
SEARCH. Also in DM, SEARCH_STAGE3 has a point which is then moved in STAGE4
onwards - I guess a hand edit. Both of this will be overwritten if the file
is edited with either this tool or with the python2 trackplacer.
SotA's journey_chapter*.cfg files and WoV's bigmap.cfg file have some of the
trackplacer comments removed, they won't be handled by this tool, at least not
until better error handling is added.
