This contains some quick python tools to make some aspects of modding a little easier
To install just download the python script you want (or all of them). They have no dependencies.
If for some reason drag-and-drop to the python script doesn't work, make sure you have python files set to open with the python interpreter, if that doesn't work, repair your installation / re-install
This will compare two (or more) translation files to each other, and tell you if there are translated entities that do not appear in all files.
Usage:
$ python .\compareTranslations.py --folder ./testFiles/translations
$ python .\compareTranslations.py .\testFiles\translations\translation_en.xml .\testFiles\translations\translation_de.xmlBy default, compareTranslations.py expects a file of the format:
<l10n>
<translationContributors>JTSage</translationContributors>
<texts>
<text name="title_simpleInspector" text="Simple Inspector" />
</texts>
</l10n>If you have a file that uses the other format, you can use the --giants_ekv command line argument
<l10n><elements>
<e k="some_tag" v="Some Translated Text" tag="0"/>
</elements></l10n>Files Found: 2

This will compare the <i3dMappings> section in your vehicle / implement / placable XML files and tell you what is different. Useful when using the same I3D file for multiple store items.
Usage:
$ python .\comparei3dMappings.py .\testFiles\i3dMap\mrplow_light_5.xml .\testFiles\i3dMap\mrplow_heavy_5.xmlRequires at least 2 files.

This is just an i3d mapper, built to be fast in python
Usage:
$ python .\i3dMapper.py .\testFiles\i3d\mrplow.i3dOptions:
--no_pretty_printDo not line up the "node" entries on output. Pretty print is on by default.

Check an i3d file for some common mistakes. Looks at real lights, collisons, linked lights, and shadow maps.
Usage:
$ python .\i3dChecker.py .\testFiles\i3d\mrplow.i3dOptions:
- --no-shadow-check Disable checking visible shapes for shadow maps
- --no-light-check Disable checking linked lights
- --no-light-info Disable output of light info
- --no-col-info Disable checking collision info
hasShadowMap | castsShadowMap on renderable shapes:

Links to old lights in i3d:
Linked Light with fileId '5' is 'rearLightOvalWhite_01', should be 'rearLight26White'
