[WIP] Bash Tagger (detects up to 49 bash tags!)

[fireundubh 52]

I completed my update to the bash tag autodetection script.
 
Behold: Bash Tagger! View/Download
 
Supported games:

• Fallout 3
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Skyrim*

*Not completely tested; limited support currently

If anyone is willing test, I'd be grateful for your feedback. Suggestions for a better name are welcome, too.
 
Requirements:

• xEdit svn1839 or older, or xEdit svn1876 or newer (latest xEdit dev version)
• patience
• a credit card

Instructions:

• Download the script to your FNVEdit "Edit Scripts" directory.
• Run FNVEdit and load the plugin you want to test.
• Right-click that plugin and click Apply Script. Select the script and click OK.

Like the original script, you can run the script on only one plugin at a time.

 

Roadmap:

• v1.1 - Initial release (based on zilav's BASH tags autodetection v1.0 script)
• v1.4 - Mostly complete TES4 and TES5 support
• v2.0 - No bugs whatsoever

v1.3.2 is up.

• All (known/remembered) flag elements are properly checked now, so tags like C.RecordFlags should validate.
• Actors.AIData and Actors.AIPackages validate correctly, too.
• The Destructible validator should no longer throw any errors.

@Sharlikran: Yup, latest svn build of xEdit always. I'll get to Oblivion support a bit later. Thanks.

 

edit: 

 

TODO: Add more flag checks for NPC_ and CREA records, but not at 5am.

Sharlikran, can you avoid double posting. You can type hr in square brackets to get a line break or horizontal rule.

Mod Edit: The double posts were deleted.

Odd, I checked the LOOT Masterlist and looked at the record for the YUP ESM, and I saw a record for 'Factions'. I have, however, made the other changes to the record for it in the LOOT masterlist based on the results on the script.

This is what I see:

 

 

Hmm, if you go to xEdit Options and turn off the Hide* options, you'll see that.

 

I think the problem here is that xEdit has a bug where if you check a template flag like "Use AI Packages," the Packages data either doesn't clear or remains accessible via scripts. I'll have to check if the template flags exist before validating the associated elements.

I do not have that at all. The Packages record is blank.

I do not have that at all. The Packages record is blank.

 

xEdit has an Options page. To get to the Options page, right-click in the file/records tree, Other > Options. You have to turn these off to see more elements.

Okay, I see it know, but now that opens up another question. Do those records need tagging if xEdit hides them by default? Why would they be hidden at all?

[Sharlikran 4]

I updated Wrye Flash for Fallout NV so test the script and the tagging with it and report any issues. I'll update Wrye Flash for FO3 later. Just remember that these versions read the plugin header, the BOSS masterlist (if found), and taglist.txt (if I update it, which I haven't) by running a script that reads the BOSS masterlist. So unless all the tags entered into the LOOT masterlist are also entered into the BOSS masterlist then the tags are not automatically applied to Wrye Flash. Only the 306.0.14 Experimental Beta uses the LOOT masterlist and taglist data because it's it based off of 305.

No, they don't need to be processed for tagging.

 

I just put together a list of which elements are controlled by which template flags.

0x0    If no template flags set, hide TPLT
0x1    Use Traits              ACBS\Karma (Alignment), ACBS\Disposition Base, INAM, VTCK, RNAM, CNAM, ZNAM, NAM6, NAM7
0x2    Use Stats               ACBS\Flags, ACBS\Fatigue, ACBS\Level, ACBS\Calc min, ACBS\Calc max, ACBS\Speed Multiplier, DATA\Base Health
0x4    Use Factions            Factions
0x8    Use Actor Effects List  Actor Effects, EITM, EAMT
0x16   Use AI Data             ACBS\Barter gold, AIDT
0x32   Use AI Packages         Packages
0x64   Use Model/Animation     Model, Destructable, Head Parts, HNAM, LNAM, ENAM, HCLR, NAM4, FaceGen Data
0x128  Use Base Data           FULL
0x256  Use Inventory           Items
0x512  Use Script              SCRI

It'd be nice if xEdit ignored these elements per the template flag rules by default, so I wouldn't have to write so many flag checks.

I've started to test the script with Fallout 3; it will greatly reduce the time it takes me to create bash tags. After looking at about 5 plugins, the only question I have so far is for Bornagain Outcast v3.esp . Along with some tags that seem correct, it says that the script tag should be used, but I don't see any script entry changes in the plugin.

[fireundubh 52]

Wait for v1.3.3 please. Almost there.

 

I have to implement a number of flag checks to work around an xEdit bug. If the Use Script template flag is used in a CREA or NPC_ records, the SCRI element shouldn't be validated.

 

I also just found a Wrye Bash bug with the new Destructible tag, which I will also expand to cover more record types. The "NPC" record type is missing the underscore, so the Destructible tag won't be processed for NPC_ records by Wrye Bash.

self.longTypes = set(('ACTI','ALCH','AMMO','BOOK','CONT','CREA','DOOR','FURN','KEYM','MISC','NPC','WEAP','PROJ','MSTT','TERM','TACT','IMOD'))

[fireundubh 52]

v1.3.3 is up. Changelog:

• Actors.ACBS: ACBS\Flags flags are now validated
• Actors.AIData: AIDT\Buys/Sells and Services flags are now validated
• Destructible: Expanded validation to all applicable record types
• Special handling for CREA and NPC_ record types to circumvent xEdit bug
• Improved performance overall due to special handling

 

Smoke tests completed without errors:

 

OldWorldBlues.esm:
Added tags to header: 
{{BASH:Actors.Stats,C.Light,Delev,Destructible,Graphics,Invent,NpcFaces,Scripts,Stats}}

YUP - Base Game + All DLC.esm:
Added tags to header: 
{{BASH:Actors.ACBS,Actors.DeathItem,C.Light,C.Owner,C.Water,Delev,Destructible,Factions,Graphics,Hair,Invent,Names,Relations,Relev,Scripts,SpellStats,Stats,WeaponMods}}

FCOMaster.esm:
Added tags to header: 
{{BASH:Actors.ACBS,Actors.AIData,Actors.AIPackages,Actors.CombatStyle,Actors.Stats,Destructible,Eyes,Factions,NpcFaces,Scripts}}

v1.3.4 hotfix is up:

• Records with the Deleted record flag no longer throw an error, which was a problem with the original script
• Debug: Implemented GetRecordFlag and GetTemplateFlag functions to facilitate debugging

You don't need to update if you don't have any mods with deleted records.

 

enclavebunker.esp (For the Enclave) is one mod that has Deleted records.

 

Undelete and Disable References won't circumvent this problem.

With version 1.3.4 Bornagain Outcast v3.esp still gets a Scripts tag and I don't see any SCRI records in the mod.

Give me a link to the mod. I can't find it.

 

e: I found it.

BornAgain Outcast v3.esp:
Added tags to header: 
{{BASH:Actors.Stats,Delev,Stats}}

Same results for the Main and No Bonus ESP.

 

When you applied the script, did you apply the script on only one plugin?

Edited January 12, 2015 by fireundubh

[Kelmych 5]

Yes, I ran it on one plugin at a time. In the last test I ran that plugin was the first one I tested. I tried using your script with both FO3Edit 3.0.32 and the most recent 3.0.33 .
