ℹ️ This repository is no longer active. This extension has been merged into SourceMod as alliedmodders/sourcemod#1673. It should also be available in SourceMod 1.11 in the future.
If you were a developer using this extension, you must recompile plugins to use the version in SourceMod; there is no other migration path, and the extension cannot be used alongside the implementation in SourceMod.
A SourceMod extension that parses out the level entity string into a format that can be easily manipulated by plugins.
The API has two methodmaps; EntityLump and EntityLumpEntry.
An EntityLumpEntry is an ordered list of key / value pairs, behaving similar to an
ArrayList. Duplicate keys are allowed.
EntityLump is similar to a global ArrayList that holds EntityLumpEntry instances.
Compiling the extension also produces the entlump_parser executable, which is a small
command-line tool intended to test the parsing logic without needing a map or Source dedicated
server running.
The tool can be used as follows:
./entlump_parser ${file}
The tool parses the entity lump from the input file, then outputs a reconstructed one on standard output. If parsing is correct, then the strings should look identical aside from whitespace outside of keys / values.
A few test cases are provided in standalone-parser/test_files.
