Default Re: Anyone want to finish the site list?

Since it appears that you linux, you will love my answer. (that was the result of a diff command that you just posted isnt it?)

strings /usr/local/games/dominons3/dom3.exe >stringsDom3.txt
less stringsDom3.txt

That gives you all of the text in the game.

Then I find something I know exists in the game, such as:
/ Fields of Fire Flies
That puts me in the right area. Then I scroll to the bottom of that group and use
m a
to mark the spot. Then I scroll to the top of that area and hit
| a cat >asdf.txt
which pipes from my current position to the 'a' mark I had made into a cat command going to a file.

Since the first item of a list rarely changes, and the lists are usually marked by a "none" at the end of them, I think I could even automate it. So that each new patch can automatically update the lists used by modders and mappers. The sites, the equipment, the units, the armors, the forts, the effects, etc etc.
