Python script for separating linksets easily. - Huggypie - 01-11-2019

Hi everyone! I have noticed that when trying to parse XML files with multiple links in MeshesSL, I often get .dae files that are unable to be read properly by the viewer when uploading. I solved this problem by creating a python script that separates a multi-link xml file into separate xml files, each only containing the info for a single mesh.

To use it, just install python and copy save the script to the folder containing your xml file. Rename your xml file as 'source.xml' and run the script c:

#This parameter determines whether link names keep their original names or not.

#Set to False to name each link numerically instead

RENAME_LINKS = True







FILE_START = '\n    \n'

FILE_END = '    \n'

LINK_NAME = '        name'





f = open('source.xml')

ftext = f.read()

f.close()

flist = ftext.split('\n')

#print(len(flist))

#spaces of 326

newString = ''

imesh = 1

skip = False

for i in range(2,len(flist)-1):

    #print(flist[i])

    add = flist[i] + '\n'

    if not (flist[i] == '        parent' or flist[i-1] == '        parent'):

        if flist[i - 1] == LINK_NAME and RENAME_LINKS == True:

            add = '            ' + 'link{}'.format(imesh) + '\n'

            newString += add

        else:

            newString += add

    if i < len(flist):

        end = '        '

        beginPlus1 = '        '

        if (flist[i] == end and flist[i+2] == beginPlus1) or (flist[i+1] == '    '):

            #print('true')

            newfile = open('m{}.xml'.format(imesh),'w+')

            output = FILE_START + newString + FILE_END

            newfile.write(output)

            newfile.close()

            newString = ''

            imesh += 1

    #print(flist[i])

print('Finished')

I miss the old days copyboting was so easy and mesh was only just starting to come in
