My 2 Cents

[ProvoCation]

Hi there, it has been a long time since i came here
First of all, idk if this is the right section, feel free to move this thread

So, today i was having fun learning RegEx, and to train myself, i did the regex for serious sam tag

Here it is, I hope there is still some programmer around and this could help doing something , i would like to do a new NameEditor (with cool stuffs like an integrated fader) some time ago but i've not time

(\^c\w{0,6}|\^[CFiIbBAr]|\^f[0-9]|\^a\w{2}|[^^]\w*)

Easy usage under python ( )

>>> s =  "^i^b^c000080^f2Provo^B^C^I^F^a88^c400040ca^Atio^rn"
>>> print s
'^i^b^c000080^f2Provo^B^C^I^F^a88^c400040ca^Atio^rn'
>>> test = re.compile(r"(\^c\w{0,6}|\^[CFiIbBAr]|\^f[0-9]|\^a\w{2}|[^^]\w*)", re.DOTALL)
>>> l = test.findall(s)
>>> print l
['^i', '^b', '^c000080', '^f2', 'Provo', '^B', '^C', '^I', '^F', '^a88', '^c400040', 'ca', '^A', 'tio', '^r', 'n']
>>> tag = ''.join([ i for i in l if i[0] != "^" ])
>>> print tag
'Provocation'
>>>

Should be pretty easy to do it with other languages (Java,C etc), but i hate them, so ...

PS: I had to download the NameEditor and i pleasantly noticed the my TagFader is pretty much downloaded

Can it be already used in SS? i tried to put it in console, and nothing happenes (i think that regex isn't included )

You shouldn't use \w for hexadecimal values, either use \x or [a-fA-F0-9].

Actually, I just put the Player Profile Editor source code up on the Alligator Pit Github account: https://github.com/AlligatorPit/Player-Profile-Editor

Feel free to do a pull request for feature additions and we'll merge it into the Serious Sam Revolution Toolkit on Steam.

Edit: I also just open sourced the Revolution Packer program, found here: https://github.com/AlligatorPit/Revolution-Packer

Yo! angelo right?
Didnt know there was something already done I'll give a look
It was simply an exercise for me

Btw, i used \w since it's like [a-zA-Z0-9_], not big difference from [a-fA-F0-9]. It's more flexible in case of "broken" tags imho

Ah, I see, makes sense. The game also interprets non-alphanumeric characters as "valid" though, even though they will be valued as 4-bit integer 0. So technically if you want to account for all broken tags, you'd have to do something like ^c.{,6} instead. (Not all tags end with a length-valid color tag)

And yes, I'm Angelo

In fact I did this for colors

\^c\w{0,6}

But you're right too, "." instead of "\w" takes all broken tags

EDIT: I missed this reply

Ehm, it's obvious it doesnt work....are you trolling me?

No, i'm dumb in those things

You don't need that 0 there by the way, if you do {,6} it basically means maximum of 6, the same as where {6,} would mean a minimum of 6.

Good job though! I love regex, one of my favorite things ever.

[ProvoCation]

Well, what i wrote is to use inside a third-part program code, not directly on SS
I simply gave an example in Python, which is my favourite programming language.

Is that C#? Btw I think i can't help sorry I never used github, nor C# (should be similar to Java though), nor i've time to check that codes

[Scratch]

Yep, that's in C#. I would rewrite it in C++ with the help of the (very underrated) Iup library, actually. That might be a fun exercise for myself.

If you do enjoy programming a lot I suggest you learn how Github works, as well as learning new languages such as C, C++, C#, etc. Always fun to learn something new!

Some things that would need to be done on the player profile editor is adding preview support for ^a (which is not very difficult) and ^f which will need some restructuring to account for control invalidation (30fps?)

I'm surely gonna do it, once finished university studies
Enought things to learn nowadays, RegEx are soo easy/short they can fit my tasks

[Scratch]

For anyone reading this who have no idea what this thread is about (eg. GraphX ), this is probably not useful to you at all. Above regex can only be used to parse existing tags into something more readable (or more specifically, to match on the groups of formatting codes so programmers can use them to format them on things like webpages, etc.)
