Mass editing jsons - Python

Post by Stratego (dev) »

I have opened this topic to "teach"/FYI anyone who is interested the power of python scripts to modify multiple files with complex logics if needed.
so all that you can not do with mass replace feature (written here: viewtopic.php?f=205&t=6120)

Example: Upscaling trigger values in maps

this example upscales all AOF map json triggers in "test" folder so all trigger effect affecting armor/hp/power will be upscaled as we did for units on the end of 2020.

here the short python code

Code: Select all

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
import json

path_work="test/"
path_workout="output/"

onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(path_work) if isfile(join(path_work, f))]

for filename in onlyfiles :
    with open(path_work+filename) as f:
      data = json.load(f)
      if 'triggers' in data: 
        was=False
        for p_triggers in data['triggers']:
          if 'conditionsOrEffects' in p_triggers: 
            for p_conditionsOrEffects in p_triggers['conditionsOrEffects']:
              if p_conditionsOrEffects['typeID'] == 1020: 
                p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] = p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] * 3; 
                was=True
              if p_conditionsOrEffects['typeID'] == 1019: 
                p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] = p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] * 4; 
                was=True
              if p_conditionsOrEffects['typeID'] == 1031: 
                p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] = p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] * 4; 
                was=True
              if p_conditionsOrEffects['typeID'] == 1028: 
                p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] = p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] * 2; 
                was=True
              if p_conditionsOrEffects['typeID'] == 1029: 
                p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] = p_conditionsOrEffects['int1'] * 2; 
                was=True
        if was:  
          print("was change:" + filename)
          f_out = open(path_workout+filename, 'w')
          f_out.write(json.dumps(data, separators=(',', ':')))         
print("all files written\n")


Example: Mass setting unit sight based on speed value
We needed to update all units in AOMW to have sight to be at least as movement value.

i used this script that updates file where sight < movement speed. and it set the sight to movement speed.

Code: Select all

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
import json

path_units="units/"
path_units_out="units/out/"

onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(path_units) if isfile(join(path_units, f))]

for filename in onlyfiles :
    with open(path_units+filename) as f:
      replace_string = ""
      replace_to_string = ""
      data = json.load(f)
      if 'unitStatSheet' in data: 
        if 'unit' in data['unitStatSheet']:
          if 'rangeWalk' in data['unitStatSheet']['unit'] and 'sight' in data['unitStatSheet']['unit']:  
            if data['unitStatSheet']['unit']['rangeWalk']>data['unitStatSheet']['unit']['sight']:
              replace_string = "\"sight\":"+str(data['unitStatSheet']['unit']['sight'])
              replace_to_string = "\"sight\":"+str(data['unitStatSheet']['unit']['rangeWalk'])
      if replace_string != "":
        fin = open(path_units+filename, "rt")
        tempFile = open(path_units_out+filename, "wt")
        for line in fin:
          tempFile.write( line.replace( replace_string, replace_to_string ) )
        tempFile.close()
        print("done: " + filename)
      
print("ENDing\n")
