WME Talk Scanner
« on: January 25, 2005, 04:52:22 PM »
I wrote a little app yesterday that scans all script files in a wintermute project for talk lines and extracts the following data to a CSV table:

1. field    =>   Folder where the scanned script is located
2. field    =>   Script name (the name of the script where this talk line is from)
3. field    =>   Line number of the talk line in the script
4. field    =>   Speaker (name of the in-script object that speaks)
5. field    =>   Reference to STRING.TAB (for example: /SYSENG0503/) if there is one
6. field    =>   The subtitle text (that is shown on screen)
7. field    =>   Speech audio file (if there is one)

For me, this is very very handy because you can directly see missing speech files, or get an overview how far I am with my translations in the string.tab file. I'm sure someone else will have a use for it, too.

Just copy the app to your projects folder (where your *.wpr file is) and run it. It will create a file called TALKLIST.CSV.

And here it is:

Have fun

Cool, sounds very useful. I'm getting a "file not found" error when trying to download, though. A wrong link maybe...?

WME Talk Scanner V1.1
« Reply #3 on: August 07, 2005, 07:33:44 PM »
I just uploaded version 1.1 of my Talkline Scanner.

Version 1.0 had some bugs in it that are fixed now:

- It now not only scans for .Talk() lines but also for .TalkAsync() lines.

- The string.tab reference scanning was only scanning for strings in the format 'SYSENGxxxx' because I thought WMEs reference system is fixed to that. Lately I discovered that you can use anything that stands between two slashes ('/'). So it's fixed now.

If you like, get the new version using the old link in the first post.

Regards

Alas,
I'm trying to use the WME Talk Scanner, and it generates an error : parameter must be positive.

Too bad, looks like it's a very usefull tool to have, as i KNOW i have some text missing from my string.tab that i should track.
