Hi folks. I am in need of a specific tool for a particular project I am working on for the official release and I vaguely recall that someone was working on something similar but I can't seem to locate it. I am rather horribly pressed for time at the moment so if someone has already created what I need (or something close) then I would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

What I need is a parser that extracts information from a save game file and reliably reports whether each province has each advance and each improvement and outputs it as a csv. I need only the province ID # and then a yes/no for each advance and for each improvement.

I have attached an example of what output I have in mind (but only one province ID listed and each set to "no") so you can see what I need. The idea is that I need to extract this data for all provinces from a save file.

Does anyone have such a tool already, or could anyone create one for me relatively easily?

Needless to say, I would greatly appreciate any help...

Here!
I have made a quick-mod version of external ledger. Unrar into the CK game directory. If you load a save there, desired file named MrT.txt is created in the same dir.
Note that:
Provinces with no advances/improvements are not listed
The file does not load into my Excel installation. Open it in notepad, and paste.

I have not enough time now to polish those problems, but can make it tonight if desired.
 
Thank you very much! Though not perfect (for my purposes I need *every* province listed) I can accomodate that via treating it as an array and drawing it into a second sheet via vlookup, so there's no need for you to make any changes to it.

Believe me, I greatly appreciate your quick response! :cool:
 
I have sacrificed my midday break to do some test/tweaks and posted an updated tool:
The 'longbow' tech column was bugged (no province had it) because I managed to corrupt a keyword spelling during processing the file. Sorry for inconvenience.

Now it saves a MrT.xls as well, because the CSV loading into Excel still has problems.

EDIT:
Also the table is displayed directly in CKL now.
 
Thanks! That's perfect! :cool:
