Here's what I use. It gets the job done.
Gotta have *nix and imagemagick though.

Probably better:

#!/bin/bash
#$1=icon directory
mkdir $1/png $1/dds
mv $1/*.dds $1/dds/
echo "$1/dds/"
for i in `find ${1}/dds/ -type f -printf "%P\n"`
do
    i=${i%.dds}
    convert $1/dds/$i.dds $1/png/$i.png
done

Why dont code tags work? :[

Contenta Converter, that's the program I used. 30 day trial.

What if we provided a script or source code for stripping out discoveries and/or other languages?

Would be nice if datadump updates ONLY included items that have changed since previous datadump.

There are 11,686 Items that have been discovered on all 99 servers, only thing that can change is if stats are modified. Why keep throwing them all back into the XML file? It would shave off 1/3rd the file size easily.

I hate to see the XML size when this game has been out 3+ years and 5 expansions later...

Also, can I get fansite board access ?

Fansite board? Is that different from the fansite news and announcement?

No. But only approved users can start new topics there. So of course Zam & Curse have free reign while us smaller dudes can't even post a new topic.

As you can see about 80% of the board is advertising those 2 companies.

You guys have better things to do with your time, I'm sure. Any programmer worth his salt can write his own code to remove the discoveries and other languages. You guys don't need to provide that.

No offence meant by this...

True, we can write our own code, but why would someone spend hours writing code to fix a non-compliant file as Community Dev (which means in their spare time between family, real life and full time job and actually playing the game). In a professional company you would go the simplest route first which is the source of the data and ensure there output mechanism is making compliant files (if they are stating they are complaint to anything naturally).

Yes if its already made and available, but is your method for producing the Soul files not the same for producing the Discoveries file? I ask as the Soul files come in EN, FR and DE separate files and could not the same output method not be used for the Discoveries file?

Brian - Whilst have your eyes Any thoughts/comment on extending the Guild.xml file in my post on here?

Thanks for the support on this Trion, good job!

PS: For now I will use a clean file harness to clean the file each time before load.

I can't edit my post, but that list isn't accurate. I forgot to take into account that icons with dashes in them I replaced with underscores (Android doesn't like dashes). Here's the correct list:

pet_cat
2h_sword_019
trinket4
trinket4a
1h_shield_048a
1h_shield_054a
plate_102_chest
1h_sword_035
plate_116_chest_a
plate_114a_chest_a
magicitem4a
magicitem4a
trinket4a
pet_raptor
trinket4
generic_ability_032
magicitem4a
plant47
plant13b
plant14a
goblin_sketches
magicitem4a
plant39a

Use the item icon zip as well. They are in there.

Amazingly I never thought to check that zip. Thanks!

No problem. I almost posted the same thing a couple days ago

The Soul files are produced by a modified game client (because the tooltip code is difficult to extract from the client.) The rest is produced by a separate program that pulls down discovery information from the master game database and then uses that to filter what game data to output.

The long-term solution is player profiles.

Brian - Thanks for the response great to see a dev popping back now and then and reponding. great support.

This is great to here and I wont ask for an ETA

New question relating the the Raid.XML files as we did Greenscale last night. The file only seem to give a list of who is in the raid at the time file is produced which is ok for starters. However, no item drop information or who looted it is not stored in the file. This makes for EPGP/DKP systems very manual to to update.

I like to request the below information added in the RAID.XML file to assisted with auto-populating our community EPGP/DKP systems post/during raids:

<PlayerRaidPlayedTime>minutes</PlayerRaidPlayedTime>
<Boss>
--<BossName>xxxx</BossName>
----<LootDrops>
------<LootDrop>
--------<ItemKey>xxxxxxxxxxxxx</ItemKey>
--------<LootedBy>MemberId</Lootedby>
------</LootDrop>
----</LootDrops>
</Boss>

[Gkar-uk]

Also the Items data file contains no stats information for Runes. This makes it very difficult for the community to build a useful recipe database for runes. Will the Rune Stats information be added?

Sorry for new posted couldnt edit my just posted, complaining about 5min since strangley hadn't been 5min btw

[Kulta]

never mind lost interest

[jrobinson3k1]

Will the souls zip file be retaining a similar name when updated? I'm making an android app that downloads the zip file as to stay up-to-date without needing to push out a new version every time the soul trees change. I understand the date portion will of course change, but would it be reasonable to keep the "RIFT_Souls_TEST" portion of the zip file's name the same so I can locate new files?

[the_real_seebs]

It would be really nice for artifacts to be tagged with whether they've been looted from mobs, or artifact objects, or both.
