Done.

Fixed. This should work.

I only tested it for one file though, but it should work.

Note: You have to edit the directory.

[vh]

omg so epic thx

edit: protip_to_self: escape slashes

edit:edit: there seems to be a lot of whitespace added to the front of the text files, but that's not an issue anyways, i just wanted to note it.

[atomic7732]

Really? I noticed it was doing that before but I thought I fixed it.

[vh]

yes its still like that according to notepad it's not actually whitespace but a bunch of NULL (or maybe they're the same thing idk) but what caused it in the first place that you fixed?

[atomic7732]

it was putting it in the wrong spot likely due to me putting truncate() wrong I don't know actually so afsdgfdsj i just thought it went away

[vh]

well as long as the game runs fine i don't really care

[Darvince]

TIL eu3 is sovktech

[vh]

omg all the nullchars that your script adds apparenly breaks the game. breaks it!

\x00 is the null character thingy so maybe it is possible to take the entire text file and remove all '\x00'?

[atomic7732]

i suppose but i have no idea why it adds them in the first place

[vh]

me neither here is a tested version that works:

Code: [Select]

import os
import re

location = 'C:\\Users\\ricson3\\Desktop\\Narmod\\history\\jerper\\'
list = []
appendything = 'discovered_by = sandboxia\n'

os.chdir(location)
for files in os.listdir('.'):
if files.endswith('.txt'):
list.append(files)

print list

for file in list:
f = open(file, 'r+')
search = f.read()
index = search.find('discovered_by = western')
f.seek(0)
p1 = f.read(index+len('discovered_by = western')+1)
p2 = f.read()
f.truncate(0)
f.write(p1)
f.write(appendything)
f.write(p2)
f.close
f = open(file, 'r+')
stringer = f.read()
new_str = re.sub('\x00', '', stringer)
f.seek(0)
f.write(new_str)
f.truncate()
f.close()


[vh]

AH no, the nullspaces weren't the problem i dont' think but the python program changes

discovered_by = chinese
1542.1.1 = { discovered_by = POR }

to

discovered_by = chinesediscovered_by = sandboxia
1542.1.1 = { discovered_by = POR }

[vh]

and it changes

Code: [Select]

#905 - Iowa

culture = dakota
religion = shamanism
capital = "Iowa"
trade_goods = unknown
hre = no
base_tax = 2
manpower = 1
native_size = 25

native_hostileness = 9

controller = FRA
citysize = 522

kalassak wth were you smoking

[vh]

ohhhh

the problem was that you didn't prepare for the eventuality of a province NOT discovered by western which is remedied by changing the bottom portion of the script to

Code: [Select]

for file in list:
f = open(file, 'r+')
search = f.read()
index = search.find('discovered_by = western')
if index == -1:
pass
else:
f.seek(0)
p1 = f.read(index+len('discovered_by = western')+1)
p2 = f.read()
f.truncate(0)
f.write(p1)
f.write(appendything)
f.write(p2)
f.close
f = open(file, 'r+')
stringer = f.read()
new_str = re.sub('\x00', '', stringer)
f.seek(0)
f.write(new_str)
f.truncate()
f.close()
