Tag Search Program

[miles]

Heyas,


It would be super helpful to have a way to check all my cdkeys/accounts/toons' tags for when unplanned run calls come about.


I have 21 cdkeys and 40+ toons and it is a bear of a chore to try and figure out which toon needs what for a run.


I could make a working solution using html/css/javascript, but I have no idea how to interact with HG files and such, so my solution would be inelegant and inefficient.

If some brilliant programmer with access to the  HG database could tackle this, I'd be forever grateful.  For example, in game I can type !list tags, or !list acc prell and get the information I'm looking for, but that would only be for one toon.

What I envision, is for players to have a home screen where they can enter their player accounts/cdkeys, and then be able to click a button that then accesses that same information and displays it neatly on one page.


I am going to work on the feature using the available information at my disposal.  For example, my version will require the player to enter their account name and toon name.  Then as they earn tags, to enter them into the website.  So it's a manual solution, and will require effort on the players part to enter the information initially.  but the payoff will be that they will have access to all of this information at the touch of a button/click of drop down menus.


Just a thought and a hobby project I am interested in - will probably take me 10 years to complete it since I'd rather be playing my toons at the moment

I just keep my own spreadsheet it sometimes gets out of sync but not by much and I try to update it when I run any given toon.

I would love a way to access it but the server and dev team would have to put in some type of DB query tool and an interface for a system as I understand you to be asking for.

Yeah for sure -  much easier to just use a personal spreadsheet; just thinking of cool features for when the dev team has free time - i.e. for when hell freezes over...oh wait, stygia and cania lol.

Hmmmm . . . Maybe something similar to dopllegang’s itemtracker, but for toons and accomplishments, instead of for transfer chests and items:

I took a minute to add a bit of help text and upload my tag tracking tool. 

It parses the log files for your character name and output of using the skull and stores the hell/abyss layers you need next. 

I use it to quickly see what I have for a given layer. It takes a bit of configuring to point it to your log folders, and a working python install. 

Not tested on windows.

Yo tritone, this program is great, and thank you I was looking for ways to do this myself, but being not payed to write code, I suck at it.

Maybe you should put a detailed description of the setup procedure(how to) for your program in the readme? Something a caveman would need to get it worked out. I don't see a lot of commentary in the config file? Not sure what its for, why do you need to enumerate the deleted toons? It looks like you have to run the program from the nwn directory so it can find the log files as well, right? is_txt = re.compile("nwclientLog.*\.txt$")

that is a brilliant idea to filter out logs older than your database file

Is pickle a default python library or is that a requirement as well?

question about this: Configure your log file location in hg-taggers-config.py

what exactly do i have to do to get this completed? I see a deleted toons list but not a current toons list?

[tritone]

It picks up your toons from the log file, deleted_toons is only there to ignore characters I didn't want to keep track of any more. You can ignore it or make in an empty list.

Pickle is built in to python, pandas is not.

It doesn't matter what folder the script is in, as long as the paths in log_folders point to the right place, and the path in cache_folder points to an existing folder (they are both linux paths that don't exist on windows/mac)

Very cool folks!


Thanks.

I once made a crude log reader program for windows.  I could get it to recognize log output by string matching.  Thanks for the reminder.  Log info might be the way to go.

Cool.
