scdatatools 1.0.4

Hey! Listen!

This tool is in very early development. The CLI is a WIP and may not be completely plumbed up yet. If you’d like to help out and know Python, try out the API a little bit and see if you run into errors parsing files! We’re also at the stage that feature/usability feedback would be much appreciated.

Features

• cli interface

• TODO

CLI Examples

usage: scdt [-h] [--verbose] [--stderr] [--command-timeout COMMAND_TIMEOUT] [command] ...

positional arguments:
  [command]             Subcommand to run, if missing the interactive mode is started instead.
    cryxml-to-json      Convert a CryXML file to JSON
    cryxml-to-xml       Convert a CryXML file to xml
    unforge             Convert a DataForge file to a readable format
    unp4k               Extract files from a P4K file
    actionmap           Dumps the default profile action map (keybinds) as JSON

API Examples

Read a DataForge database (.dcb)

from scdatatools.forge import DataCoreBinary
dcb = DataCoreBinary('research/Game.dcb.3.9.1-ptu.5229583')
jav_records = dcb.search_filename('*javelin.xml')
print(dcb.dump_record_json(jav_records[-1]))

Use the StarCitizen class:

from scdatatools.sc import StarCitizen
sc = StarCitizen('D:/Path/To/LIVE')
sc.p4k.search('idris')
sc.datacore.records[0]

1.0.3 (2022-04-09)

• Export converter options naming standardization

• New material name normalization. All material names in mtl have spaces converted to underscores as the Blender DAE importer does not handle material names with spaces. This happens during any export as long as cryxml conversion is enabled

• Fix cdf/chr files that have attachment points without geometry

• Improvements and fixes to the hardsurface normals and emissions

• Improved action map exports

• 3.17 lighting fixes

1.0.2 (2022-03-23)

• Many shader, texture and material enhancements and fixes in Blender importer

• Added sentry error reporting context generation. This is used by StarFab, scdatatools does not do sentry reporting directly on it’s own

• Added Model Asset Extractor “converter” that will automatically select the associated mtl and textures for each model in the extraction task. Not recommended while extracting the entire p4k as this will just increase the overhead

1.0.1 (2022-02-02)

• Fixed issue when the primary part of a model was missing (cgam, but no cga)

• Fixed an issue in texture extraction when _not_ converting or un-splitting textures

• Improved Blender compatability checking and Blender version handling

• Support for Blender 3.0

1.0.0 (2022-01-18)

• First major version

• Texture conversion utilities

• Improved CLI commands

• Refactored and improved Star Engine format handling

• Star Citizen Blueprint (scbp) system

• Plugin framework

• Blender add-on supporting scbp imports

• Audio (wwise) system handling

• P4K converters to enable auto-conversion of proprietary formats during export (textures, models, etc.)

• Prefab Library Manager

• Object Container Manager

• Material Library processor (mtl)

• Launcher utilities to auto-discover installed SC versions

0.1.7 (2021-04-02)

• Added Datacore v5 support

0.1.6 (2020-12-30)

• Moved to GitLab

• Updated docs

• Improved filename searches in P4Ks

• Dataforge records can now be outputed to xml as well

• Improved pretty printing of XML output

0.1.5 (2020-12-9)

• Improved path and error handling

0.1.3 (2020-12-06)

• Added SC profile dumping (actionmaps)

• New StarCitizen class convenience wrapper around the installation dir

• Support for looking up localization strings

• Dataforge fixes

0.1.2 (2020-05-20)
