YOUR VOICE IS REVEALED!!!

Oh, yea, your game sound is louder than your microphone, watch out with that.

In my general quest to rid the world of redundant jquery...
http://m8y.org/hw/GameLogExtractor.html this one does not require the extra lib bloat just to look up IDs and fetch a file ☺

http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/

I also reenabled a button that seemed useful and had been disabled.
Given this is running locally and cheaply, could possibly even just keep polling for log and updating the text areas if the file changes.

I have made some tests with this script.

First, some bugs:

• FIXED: Sprite placement is mostly broken. For most sprites I get Lua error messages (I can recall nemo told me that PlaceSprite can NOT place all sprites, I have written down more in the dev wiki about this.)
• FIXED: You can "place" girders out of map bounds. Well, not really, they don't appear in the map but in the generated code I see sprite spawning with negative coordinates
• Some weapon icons in weapon crate placement mode are incorrect. Air attack, for example.
• Script seems to hang sometimes if your hedgehog dies (sorry, I can't really reproduce this)
• FIXED:I always see a vertical girder at the top left of the map, but it can't be walked on or destroyed.
• FIXED: The map preview image for random maps is wrong
• FIXED: It seems this script will not be installed by make install, so I needed to copy it manually. I also cleaned cmake cache several times; I am not sure if it is just me or if somebody just forgot to update something. ;)

Suggestions:

• DONE: Also allow to select the other sprite IDs of the sprite sheets (currently only the first one is allowed)
• DONE: Allow 60 health for barrels (the current default)
• Allow to explicitly select default health/timer for gears (in other words, leave the health untouched, don't call SetHealth)
• Include the extraction script into Hedgewars
• Maybe make standalone script or program (Shell/Phython/whatever) for extracting stuff; as an alternative to HTML
• Include better selected-by-default schemes for HedgeEditor (Default just seems wrong), just like suggested in the wiki
• Allow to place fake crates (SpawnFakeAmmoCrate, etc.) with optional explosion and poison enabled/disabled, also should be markable as destroy/collect goal
• DONE: Extend health modify mode where you can select "-1", "-10", "-100", "+1", "+10", "+100", and the like. When you click a hog hog with it, it adds or subtracts the displayed amount of health; This would be very flexible IMO, because players now could set any arbitrary amount of health this way. Should prevent the health going to 0, of course.
• DONE: Health modify mode should also work for barrels
• Add query mode where you can query timers, health, and other "invisible" values of gears.
• DONE: "Tag Victory Mode" and "Tag Failure Mode" should be explained better, it is not clear what to do with the gears for victory/failure
• Add hat mode, where you can set hats for individual hogs
• Add dud mine mode (done), frozen mine mode, frozen barrel mode
• Extend sticky mine mode where you can set the "throw direction" (i.e. up) so you can place sticky mines at vertical walls or at the bottom of something.
• Maybe same for cleaver?
• Can this also be used with only 1 clan?

Honestly, I am not very excited about the whole architecture of this thing.

I would have liked it if some Lua library was used as template for the generated missions. It seems all generated missions are self-contained, which means there is a lot of boilerplate and redundancy throughout generated missions.
I also see a lot of unused code in generated missions, i.e. mission objective strings even no objective has been added, etc.

If you add improvements to this script (or fix bugs) later, those won't affect the generated missions. All generated missions would have to be maintained on a case-to-case basis. Well, we could still do that, but it is sub-optimal IMO.

The reason why I have made Lua libraries for Speed Shoppa and the target practice missions is not only ease-of-use but also to make it easier to be generated by tools.

Maybe there could be some

One thing that this script *is* certainly useful for is to get pixel-perfect coordinates for new gears.

Fun fact: I have used your script in parts to quickly place all those gears in my Flying Saucer training: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/6261/. Still I just used the coordinates, all other code was thrown away.

(My mission is far too complex and covers lots of corner cases.)

Maybe have a use on for loop, if they are crates with same type and similar coords?

EDIT1: I don't know if that's on purpose, but randomly generated maps are always blank for some reason and there's no script for non-image maps.

EDIT2: I have 4 missions made with HedgeEditor that are well made, however I'm gonna have to polish them a lot.

I have made some bugfixes and updates to HedgeEditor on my repository (default branch), see here:
