dotapatch 2.1

How does it work

$ dotapatch -h
usage: dotapatch [-h] [-t TEMPLATE] [-V] [-d] [-s] [-q] file

Parse Dota 2 text patches to html format.

positional arguments:
  file                  changelog to be formated

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TEMPLATE, --template TEMPLATE
                        base template to generate HTML
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

logging arguments:
  -d, --debug           set verbosity level to DEBUG
  -s, --save-log        save log output
  -q, --quiet           less verbose

Run dotapatch stating the full path to the file:

$ dotapatch /home/arthurazs/Desktop/changelogs/688f
INFO HTML saved at /home/arthurazs/688f.html
INFO Conversion went smoothly.

Or you can head over to the directory with the changelog and run dotapatch stating only the filename:

$ cd Desktop/changelogs
$ dotapatch 688f
INFO HTML saved at /home/arthurazs/Desktop/changelogs/688f.html
INFO Conversion went smoothly.

There are some optional arguments that you can use:

$ dotapatch --version
dotapatch: v2.0

$ dotapatch 688f
INFO HTML saved at /home/arthurazs/Desktop/changelogs/688f.html
INFO Conversion went smoothly.

$ dotapatch 688f --quiet

$ dotapatch 688f --debug
DEBUG Reading changelog.
DEBUG Parsing changelog.
INFO HTML saved at /home/arthurazs/Desktop/changelogs/688f.html
INFO Conversion went smoothly.

$ dotapatch dotapatch/changelogs/688f --save-log
INFO Recording log file at /home/arthurazs/git/dotapatch/dotapatch.log

$ dotapatch dotapatch/changelogs/688f --template gh-pages

INFO Conversion went smoothly.

• --template indicates which template is going to be used to parse the changelog. The default template generates a standalone HTML that uses dota2 css files.

• --debug and --quiet increase and decrease dotapatch’s verbosity, respectively.

• --save-log saves a log with maximum verbosity output.

Gathering a new changelog

• Go to dota2 news page and locate the latest patch.

• Copy and save it as a file.

  • The content you save must start with the patch name followed by colon (e.g. 6.88f:).

  • The second line won’t be read, so you can leave it with anything other than a real changelog line (e.g. --).

  • All the following lines must start with a star/asterisk (e.g. * Anti-mage magic resistance reduced by a lot).
