Automatic backup of turn files

thejeff said:
If you also generate the score dump, you can parse that for the turn number and actually save each turn.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.

I attached a python script. Instead of long winded explanations:

Code:

---

pia@Lollipop:~/dominions3$ ./dom3backup.py --help

usage: dom3backup.py [options]



options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -n NAME, --name=NAME  Process file <name>. Otherwise latest file

  -f FREQ, --freq=FREQ  create a Zipfile every <n> turns. Default: 0 (no

                        zipfile)

  -m MAXFILES, --maxfiles=MAXFILES

                        keep max. <n> Zipfiles. Delete oldest. Default: 0

                        (keep all)

  -d ARCHDIR, --archdir=ARCHDIR

                        create Zipfiles in archdir. archdir must exists.

                        Default: <dom3>/archivedgames

  --nocopy              don't copy files to backup-dir. Default: False

  --clean               remove all zipfiles and the backup-dir

I posted a batch file for playing with the map making commands. It makes it easy to generate map after map with the same settings. It also lets you play with things like the color settings. I posted it into the MOD/MAP subforum since I think it is more useful to that crowd.
