Handy Things

• Script to create the level discussion post. This creates the level list and a template for review. Give it a directory of level files as the argument. (BASH only)

#!/bin/bash
#
# Generate forum post code from a level folder

folder=$1
color='#FFBF00'


if [ -z $folder ]; then
        echo
        echo "Usage:  `basename $0` [CONTEST_FOLDER_WITH_LEVEL_FILES]"
        echo
        exit 1
fi

# Start script
pushd $folder &> /dev/null

levelInfo() {
ls *.level | while read file
do
        #echo "file: $file"
        name=`grep 'LevelName' $file | sed 's/.*LevelName //' | sed 's/"//g' | tr -d '\r'`
        gametype=`grep 'GameType' $file | sed 's/ .*//' | tr -d '\r'`
        levelgen=`grep 'Script' $file | tr -d '\r'`
        lg=""

        if [ "$gametype" == "GameType" ]; then
                gametype="BitMatch"
        fi

        gametype=`echo -n $gametype | sed 's/GameType//'`

        if [ "x$levelgen" != "x" ]; then
                lg=' (levelgen)'
        fi

        echo "[color=$color][b]$name[/b][/color] - [i]$gametype$lg[/i]"

        # Add extra line for template
        if [ "$1" == "yes" ]; then
                echo
        fi
done
}

levelInfo

echo
echo "Copy and paste this template to give your review for each map:"
echo "[code=text]"
levelInfo "yes"
echo "[/code]"
