Based on feedback, I added a few new commands and made some bugfixes to the allgiance scanner plugin. List of changes:


* Fixed autosave bug.

* Fixed bug on unknown characters in the tree.

* Fixed bug in tree loading.

* Added '@alls verbose' command to toggle on/off debug output. When disabled, the plugin can run in the background while you are playing as usual.

* Added '@alls waitlist' to show a list of character that are waiting to be scanned.

* Added '@alls skip' to skip a character that is waiting to be scanned.

* Added '@alls rescan' to add a character to the scanning queue. Great command for loading an existing tree and (re)scan only a part of the tree.

* Improved the chat output.

* Added an utility to examine the tree output. After installation, 'AllegianceViewer.exe' will be available in your installation directory.


You can download the plugin at http://direlands.net/gawa/allegiancescanner/ and that page also contains two screenshots.

Wow!


Gawas, this sounds just fantastic, and the viewer is what I was waiting for, since I didn't know how to make use of the .xml file that the old one outputted. Hee hee.


Much thanks for the work that it took to get this done! I'm sure it will be very appreciated by many!

alderonny: do you have an example that goes wrong? I have only a small allegiance tree to test with (10 chars or so), so there could be a situation that the parser doesn't keep into account.


If you know which character goes wrong, could you manually request its allegianc einfo and post it here please?

nice...


I'll see how it goes with a big allegiance.

Gawas, can you add an option to turn it into an XSL so it can be viewed on the web?

Ah, I see what's wrong. The plugin contains a list of rank names, to predict the rank and race of each character. Among the ranks, I had 'Naqib' and 'Naqiba', but seems that the correct spelling is 'Naquib' and 'Naquiba'. I'll add them to the plugin, you will be able to download an updated version of the plugin within a few minutes.


I think this is also why skipping didn't work Tika, I think you typed '@alls skip Naquiba Mrs Kenny'. Typing '@alls skip Mrs Kenny' should work though. If needed you can use the '@alls waitlist' command to show a list of people that are waiting.
