I was wondering if it’s possible to know about information on the xml files. I’m trying to write a wee program that updates information from Locate artefact and reveal char spells. Currently I can see that the xml files provide info from scochar’s but I can’t seem to find information from LAT or RCT spells ?
Does it exist on the xml file ? I can’t see it but it’s easy to miss in this file.
If not will it ever been added in the future ?
Is there any automated way in pdf files to output the information into a text file i.e. any macro’s in acrobat reader ?
Hey Brendan
Nope, LAT/RCT aren’t in the xml files. But you can manually add the info to a new xml file, and import this into Palantir. Does the trick nicely, though you need to be careful when doing so
If you want to access a pdf file, there are many ways to do this. In Java you can use the JPedal project API to read directly from a PDF.
Else you can find a c++ program somewhere on the net, just search google for pdftotext, it does just what it says, and then handle the text file in any way you say fit.
I have tried them all, and some more, but its IMO way most easy to search through the PDF’s each turn, looking for RC/RCT/LA/LAT and ScoPop/ScoHex/ScoArmy and add them to your custom xml file, and import it into Palantir.
Hope this helps Brendan, else I suggest you go and help Clint with the development of Palantir and learn about the program through Megames.
