About

generate_graph is a tool that constructs a graph image from a well structured flare_game mod. It does so by traversing maps and extracting relevant "map connections".

It is kinda "untyped", relying on regular expressions, yet it works just fine on the empyrean campaign (and probably others).

Usage

data_dir="/path/to/mod/" ./generate_graph.py | dot -Tpng > output.png

Additionally, you can set environment variables graphviz_prefix to specify prefix file, print_npc to print npc map connections (enabled by default) and print_dead to print/draw unreachable map nodes.

Also, you can use "svg" and many other other picture formats that dot (graphviz) tool allows.

Legacy

There are also two legacy bash scripts that generate map without sorting. Unfortunately, the main smart algo does not differ much from it if you have crazy connected map tiles (hyperspace, I'm looking at you). So if you don't care about sorting, you can use the much simpler bash scripts in this repo to generate graphviz file contents. In this case, use:

./generate_graph.sh /path/to/mod/maps

Example

empyrean_campaign_default

empyrean_campaign_hyperspace

Prequisities

Install "graphviz" package.
