Upgrading a23 skirmish maps to be compatible with a24

andy5995 · February 22, 2021

When I reported on IRC that my skirmish maps weren't working, @Stan`gave me a link to this script

https://code.wildfiregames.com/P232

I've attached the python script it to this post.

python3 <scriptname> <version> <path>

The correct version to use is "7". For the path, I used "." (single dot) while in the directory containing my custom skirmish maps.

After that, you may have to edit your xml. I still get errors such as the following when opening most maps into Atlas

With these errors you can just use Notepad++ or your favorite text editor and do a ctrl-H replace all

gaia/tree/cretan_date_palm_tall

Thanks. I also want to give it some thought and see if it could be done with something like

find . -name '*' -print -exec sed -i 's/gaia\/tree\/cretan_date_palm_tall/replacement-text/g' {} \;

to fix all the files at once. I'll take a closer look later.

You should have a look at the patches that broke your maps, they have sed scripts to fix things:

Furthermore, you need to replace {civ}_* with {civ}/* (for structures and units). https://code.wildfiregames.com/P225 was used for that, though that script does more than you need, so it's probably better to write a sed script for that (there are only 13 civs). [EDIT] Here you go:

Spoiler

  -e 's,structures/athen_,structures/athen/,g' \

  -e 's,units/sele_,units/sele/,g' \
  -e 's,units/spart_,units/spart/,g'

And insert any other civs your mod has.

[EDIT] There are probably some other things I forgot.

If people need a little more guidance on how to convert their maps from a23 to a24 on windows:

click start, type "cmd"
type "python3" inside the command prompt and hit enter, it will open the microsoft app store directing you to the python app. Download and install that.
Go to the directory where your skirmish map is. Put the file @andy5995 provided in there.
Click the directory bar

Spoiler
Type cmd and hit enter

Spoiler
copy the following line and paste it inside the command prompt (including the dot at the end): python3 0ad-map-upgrade-20210222-01.py 7 .
Done. Now you can open up your map again.

I ran all of these scripts. So far the only things I've noticed are a missing bench

ERROR: Failed to load entity template 'other/bench'
ERROR: CCacheLoader failed to find archived or source file for: "simulation/templates/other/bench.xml"

(which I couldn't figure out how to fix)

And the civs can't be changed from the game setup menu. When I uncheck the player name and civ from within Atlas, changes to the civ name are not saved.

I noticed this too. I simply deleted them in the xml file and then you can change settings again @ game setup. Same story for teams, cant be changed either unless deleted in xml.

  "PlayerData": [
    {
    },
    {
    },
    {
    },
    {
    },
    {
    },
    {
    },
    {

    {

  ],

That was D3097. I've now updated the previous post.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah I noticed that. Changing them work though unnasigning them doesn't.

If a civ has been set for a player inside Atlas you cannot change them ingame at the gamesetup. As if it were a scenario map even though it's a skirmish map.

Not only that, but in Atlas you can uncheck the civs and save the map, but Atlas bugs and assigns default civs anyway. Quite annoying.

Yeah, I've had to do this as well.

I've noticed too that when editing the xml directly and removing the civ names, everything is fine. Then I open it in Atlas, make no changes, and click save. The civ names return.

Not sure there is a ticket for it. Should be somewhat easy to debug and patch if someone has the time

How can I do this procedure in linux?

@LopessFirst use the python script as mentioned in the first post.

Then use the 7 scripts I've attached, that are based on the 7 patches mentioned by @Nescio

None of these 7 scripts require an argument. Just use

sh D????.sh

Each script will look in a "maps" directory relative to your current directory, and change all maps it finds. There will be no messages output by the scripts (unless there's an error).

D1009.sh D1010.sh D2234.sh D2254.sh D2774.sh D3012.sh D3097.sh

What ... is this palm tree deleted in A24?

And would these scripts also update scenario maps or only skirmish maps?
