I was wondering if there is anyone out there that knows how to extract the data from the majormud files. All I want is raw data from the files. A file like this for monsters:

Mon Name,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,XXX,XX,0,0,XX

And for everything else, shops, rooms, everything that is involved in majormud. Basically the X's and 0's are the fields that are involved in an item/monster/room. Turbofoot helped me out and sent me a couple, items and monsters I believe. I don't know where to begin, but if someone has the knowledge and can direct me or simply just extract the data themselves, it would be appreciated.

the raw data turbofoot packs w/ his weirdo viewer is far better then the viewer itself... Ive tossed them up into a foxpro jobby, sorted and tossed the data onto a form, and had something that looked like megamuds item calculator... (maybe i sould export that to html...)

turbofoot himself is the best one to ask how he got the data in a comma delimited format in the first place....

These are some of the things he gave me:

* *function GetNextStr : string;

* *var

* * *s : string;

* *begin

* * *if all[ 1 ] = '"' then begin

* * * *iAt := pos( '",', all );

* * * *if iAt > 0 then begin

* * * * *s := copy( all, 1, iAt-1 );

* * * * *all := copy( all, iAt+2, (length( all )-iAt)+2 );

* * * *end else begin

* * * * *s := all;

* * * * *all := '';

* * * *end;

* * *end else begin

* * * *iAt := pos( ',', all );

* * * *if iAt > 0 then begin

* * * * *s := copy( all, 1, iAt-1 );

* * * * *all := copy( all, iAt+1, (length( all )-iAt)+1 );

* * * *end else begin

* * * * *s := all;

* * * * *all := '';

* * * *end;

* * *end;

* * *s := StringReplace( s, '"', '', [rfReplaceAll] );

* * *result := s;

* *end;

* *function GetNextInt : integer;

* *begin

* * *result := StrToInt( GetNextStr() );

* *end;

He even gave me the code he used, I just dunno what language he has or how to compile it/use it. *It looks simple enough, I did the same kind of read/write shit a couple months ago, I just dunno what language this is. *I would like to get the data out of every damn thing there is in mud, text blocks and everything. *Anyone wanna point me in the direction as to what language this is and where I can get a compiler/interpreter?

-Edit-

The part where everything is dillimeted by a comma is all on one line not like it looks.

btrieve maybe ?

I'll try and include an option to dump the databases in Nightmare Redux.

Syn,

Any idea on a realse date, no rush just anxious for mod 9 stuff.

I extracted the data using BTFiler version 1.50c. I think my most recent monster extract file for btfiler is available at http://www.infinitelives.tv/items/monster9.inx



the code to read the output looks something like this i think:



procedure GetOneRow;

var

iAt : integer;

j : integer;



function GetNextStr : string;

var

s : string;

begin

if all[ 1 ] = '"' then begin

iAt := pos( '",', all );

if iAt > 0 then begin

s := copy( all, 1, iAt-1 );

all := copy( all, iAt+2, (length( all )-iAt)+2 );

end else begin

s := all;

all := '';

end;

end else begin

iAt := pos( ',', all );

if iAt > 0 then begin

s := copy( all, 1, iAt-1 );

all := copy( all, iAt+1, (length( all )-iAt)+1 );

end else begin

s := all;

all := '';

end;

end;

s := StringReplace( s, '"', '', [rfReplaceAll] );

result := s;

end;



function GetNextInt : integer;

begin

result := StrToInt( GetNextStr() );

end;



begin

application.processmessages;



ReadLN( tf, all );

source := all;

if all = '' then exit;



ID := GetNextInt();

Name := trim( GetNextStr() );

for j := 1 to 5 do DropItem[ j ] := GetNextInt();

for j := 1 to 5 do DropChance[ j ] := GetNextInt();

Area := GetNextInt();

HPs := GetNextInt();

for j := 1 to 5 do Flags[ j ] := GetNextInt();

for j := 1 to 5 do Vals[ j ] := GetNextInt();

end;

beta will be going out this week to a select few. I would say the end of next week it should be out. It will/does include options to dump the databases for all of the databases it edits.
