CONVERT2DA: Code and documentation mismatch for the parameters about xoreos-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

You're right! My apologies, it's failing because I'd since deleted the files I was using to test. I thought I'd tried that when I originally ran into issues but evidently I'm mistaken.

from xoreos-tools.

1.

$ ./xoreos-tools-0.0.5-linux64/convert2da ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/208580/485537937/override/appearance.2da -o appearance.csv

If you look at the help text, the usage is

convert2da [<options>] <files[...]>

I.e. the options have to come before the files to operate on. First all the options (including output format and output file), then the input file(s).

So the correct line for you would be:

$ ./xoreos-tools-0.0.5-linux64/convert2da -o appearance.csv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/208580/485537937/override/appearance.2da

The examples in the manpage are wrong, though. I'll fix that, thanks!

2.

Technically, the man page doesn't list -a, -b, -c instead of the long versions, but in addition. I.e. you can use either -a or --2da, both are supposed to do the same. Just like -o and --output do the same.

But you're right, the short options for --2da, --2dab and --csv got lost in a refactor, and I didn't notice or forgot to change the man page. I'll add the short options back. Thanks!

3.

Yeah, that's a typo that got fixed in 9d66762. We didn't have a release since then, so there's unfortunately no release package with the fix, so you'll have to use --cvs for now. Sorry about that.

• Fixed the mission short options (2.) with fdc4e0a
• Fixed the wrong examples in the man page (1.) with 3203b5c

I forgot to mention it, but I remember seeing that in the usage and I tried it but it didn't work either:

$ ./xoreos-tools-0.0.5-linux64/convert2da -o appearance.csv ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/208580/485537937/override/appearance.2da

$ ./xoreos-tools-0.0.5-linux64/convert2da -o foo.csv ~/projects/xoreos/data/nwn/2da/feat.2da 
$ file foo.csv 
foo.csv: ASCII text, with very long lines (546)

Works fine here. Are you sure you have the correct path there?
