Mod packaging script utility.

[nani]

Made a script that I think would be useful for the modders out there.

What it does:

• Creates a mod pyromod file
• Creates a mod zip file
• Creates a backup file of the original folder
• Names all generated files with the corresponding mod.json version defined
• Does some sanity checks.
• You can define a .gitignore file on the root folder of the mod

Requirements:

• Python 3.8.0 or above
• Optional: gitignore_parser (to install use pip3)

How to use:

• Execute with

  python3 make_pyromod.py

  from the command line and read options outputted.

The three arguments: "origin", "destination" and "backup" default values are hard-coded as is easier for me this way. You can change them to your liking.

make_pyromod.py

@nani That's nice. Good job.

 

It doesn't do the most important part though. Caching files :/ XML → XMB, DAE → PMD → PSA, PNG → DDS with mipmaps.

True I guess I didn't take into account the caching as I mostly create js files for my mods.

I wonder if it's worth it for me tho to change it :/

Probably not. Maybe it could be worth improving the archive builder though
