My NWN helper script (Bash, OS X)

[Pat Briams]

I've been having all sorts of problems connecting to Gamespy since last week. So I expanded my log rotator shell script to do direct connecting as well. Not sure if anyone will find it useful, but by all means modify it to your hearts content~

Linux users: replace lines 8 and 10 with your NWN executable path, and lines 92-104 with your NWN logs directory path.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# CoPaP direct connector and log rotator for Mac OS X
# Usage: invoke filename without parameters

connect () {
	if [ -z "$1" ]
	then
		/Applications/Neverwinter\ Nights/Neverwinter\ Nights.app/Contents/MacOS/Neverwinter\ Nights
	else
		/Applications/Neverwinter\ Nights/Neverwinter\ Nights.app/Contents/MacOS/Neverwinter\ Nights +connect "$1"
	fi
	wait
}

Friggen nice man. I may make some modifications to the log rotator part now that someone's given me a skeleton to work with. Thanks!

Neither +connect nor -connect work under Linux. Regardless, I've populated my Favorites tab with the Avlis server instead of depending on GameSpy or history.

Here's some extra log processing snipplets to save logs and rename them into ISO 8601 date format for easy sorting. Maybe you find some of it useful too?

Prior running neverwinter, start with clean empty logs.

Code: Select all

rm logs/nwclientLog*
touch logs/nwclientLog{1,2,3,4}.txt

then I'd add a '&' after nwmain so the script does not block until nwn finished running. (Skipping lots of LD_PRELOAD hacks for brevity)

Code: Select all

./nwmain $@ &
sleep 2  #give nwmain 2 second to have it's pid registered
tail --pid=$(pidof nwmain) -f -q logs/nwclientLog{1,2,3,4}.txt | python logparse.py >> logs/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log&

Quick and dirty log processor in python that cuts down timestamps to once each minute and removes the stuff in brackets ([] [CLIENT_CHAT_BLAH]) preceding every line.

Code: Select all

import sys
import re

ts_interval = 0
lastlog_time = 1
def parsetime(timestr):
    global lastlog_time
    newtime=timestr[12:17]
    if lastlog_time != newtime:
        lastlog_time=newtime
        print timestr

a = 0
for line in sys.stdin:
    line = line.strip()
    a=a+1
    if line=='' or len(line) < 41:
        continue
    m = re.search('^(\[.+?\])?\ +(\[.*?\])?\ +(.+)$',line)
    parsetime(line[19:40])
    if m == None:
        print "STRANGE: " + line
    else:
        #print "Norm: " + m.group(3)
        if m.group(3).count(" : ") >= 2:
            if m.group(3).endswith(")"):  #This handle most combat rolls
                continue        #just throw away for now.
        print m.group(3)

My python script does not flush actively, so if you are looking at the log file while playing you will notice it lags behind until python decide to flush it's output buffers. But there is no risk of losing it will flush when "tail -f" exits.
