In an attempt to help solve the FF:06:B5 mystery within Cyberpunk 2077, this program was created using Python (3.0+) to analyze "Shards", which are in-game text entries of lore, scattered around the game's map. The current functionality is limited, and imperfect, but serves as an effective tool in quickly accessing these data entries, and breaking them down all within a single program.

Please keep in mind that there is no GUI for this program, and it is operated through a CLI.

You do not need to understand Python to use this program; however, you will need Python installed on your machine. You can download here if you do not. As previously stated, it is operated through a CLI with a basic menu navigated with numeric inputs. Bad inputs should not crash the program, if they do, please report it in the issues section. The intended behavior when a bad input is entered is to send the user back to the main menu.

The only dependency within the program is PySpellchecker which is used for finding misspelled words that are not notated with a [sic], which represents when the text is true to it's source material and purposefully misspelled. If you plan on forking this program, I suggest reading the documentation and installing this module.

The Shards in this program are all sourced from the Cyberpunk 2077 Wiki.

To add a new category, the process is admittedly hacky, but easy to implement with an entry level understanding of Python.

Assuming you have already created a folder with text files inside of it and placed it in the folder containing the program, the next steps are as follows:

Locate the "OpenMenu" function and copy any of the "elif catChoice =" statements from top to the bottom of the "if relAndPhilCommand =" statement. You will then paste it below the bottom-most "elif catChoice =" statment and change the "currentPath =" in each elif catChoice to the name of the new folder/category you have added. Lastly, you will start the program and change each of the "elif catChoice =" statements to match the numbered list of categories shown in the output. Restart the program, and you should now be able to perform functions on text files in the new category.

It is no longer necessary to go through this lengthy process. in shardkiller2.py you can simply add another case statement to the two Match clauses in the openMenu method. Shardkiller 2 is much more efficient and easy to follow, and eventually will replace the current Shardkiller.py file.

This program is open source and available to anyone whon wishes to fork the repo and improve on it.
