Sectionmodify

Zefiryn

Is it possible to use some sort of multiplier for script command method=“sectionmodify”? Something similar to method=“filereplace” numTimes=“0”

Well, you could contact Crazy about it. He maintains the current version of FLMM. You can find him @ www.fllistserver.com or www.dfls.de

It’s atleast possible with ‘sectionappend’.
We used this to add new clan factions.

<data file=“data\initialworld.ini” method=“sectionappend” numtimes=“-1”>[Group]
;–-wtsclan

<source>
rep = -0.91, clan_004;–Clan-Rep -</data>

I d suppose, it also works with sectionreplace
as long as you got identical,
which you can ‘target’.
Therefore we had added the ‘;–-wtsclan’.

maybe just try

No, it do not work. What I’d like to do is something like this:

 <data file="data\FX\effect_types.ini" method="filereplace" numtimes="0"><dest>visibility = CULL_OFFSCREEN</dest> 
<source> 
visibility = EXIST_OFFSCREEN</data>

This replaces CULL_OFFSCREEN in the entire effect_types.ini

I guess it is impossible to create working script like:

 <data file="DATA\SHIPS\rtc_shiparch.ini" method="sectionmodify" numtimes="0">[Ship] 

<source> 
LODranges = 0, 500000</data>

It replaces LodRanges for the first ship only, whatever numTimes I put there.
I did have some hopes that it can be possible, because otherwise I have to put one filereplace command for every possible LODrange.
Granted, FLMM don’t even suggest such a possibility, to use multiplier for sectionmodify, so now I am trying to force the Excel to create scripts for me.

Or maybe FLMM can do it, and I just don’t see something obivious.

EDIT:
@Gisteron: I realize that, but the problem is, I’d like it to replace LODranges in all sections, not just one.

Gisteron

you are not limited to include only a section name into the section tag. you can include multiple involving the nickname and the replacement will happen only once.

ATM, numTimes doesn’t work with sectionmodify. I’ll add it, assuming I can actually compile FLMM (which I’ll try once I finish working on PeRdr).

Adoxa, if you are going to recompile FLMM can I request that the limit on the number of xml macros be increased. Going by the blurb written for 1.31 it was set at 2000, not enough for me it seems

Yep, that was one of the things on the list. I plan on “removing” it - have 65536 combined string/xml resources. There’s also creating/restoring a backup for copyfile (not sure of the exact circumstances) and preventing EXE*.dll being automatically added to freelancer.ini. I was going to start a bug report topic, but was going to make sure I could actually compile it first…
