Super Script Materializer

中文文档

preview_image

The project consist of two parts:

  1. SuperScriptMaterializer - Custom Virtools Interface Plugin that allows you to export all scripts/schematics into a SQLite database file
  2. SuperScriptViewer - a python parser that creates a web page based on the exported databases to view the schematic in Behavior Graph mode similar to how Virtools Dev displays.

The purpose of the project is to allow users to have a backup graph of their scripts from Virtools while providing support for analyzing --Script Hidden-- scripts by generating relation among each script component.

The inspiration came from:

NOTE:

  • This project does not give ability to edit hidden scripts within the file. It simply exports and views.
  • The latest commit may not be stable to use, please visit the Release page to get a stable version.
  • If you change the version (including the version before the first stable version), then you need to rebuild all the data, because the data between the various versions may not be compatible with each other.

Requirements

Use

  • Virtools Dev 5.0
  • Python 3.0 with Flask module
  • Common browsers (except Safari)

Compile

For compile or debug this project, follwing tools also are necessary.

  • Virtools Dev 5.0 SDK (May work for others, Virtools 4 has been tested and can be compiled and run without any modification)
  • Visual Studio 2015 with at least v140 toolset

Usage

Exporting Scripts from Virtools

  1. Make Sure Virtools Dev is closed.
  2. Copy compiled SuperScriptMaterializer.dll into Virtools's InterfacePlugins folder. Copy sqlite3.dll you downloaded into Virtool's base folder (where devr.exe exist). If you use the packaged file on the Release page, just decompress it directly in the root directory of Virtools and allow folder merging and file overwriting.
  3. Open Virtools and load a Virtools document of your choice.
  4. Go to the menu bar and click Super Script Materializer and Export all script. Name it export.db and save it into SuperScriptViewer folder
  5. Go to the menu bar and click Super Script Materializer and Export environment. Name it env.db and save it into SuperScriptViewer folder

Viewing Exported Databases

  1. Run the viewer by python3 SuperScriptViewer.py
  2. It will generate a unique decorated database (decorated.db) used for viewing based on export.db and env.db
  3. Once generated, a webpage will be hosted (default 127.0.0.1:5000) to view all graphs.

There is advanced command line switches if needed for the SuperScriptViewer

  • -i filename.db specify an input file to be used as export.db
  • -e filename.db specify an input file to be used as env.db
  • -o filename.db specify an output file to generate decorated.db. If it already exists, it will used that instead of generating a new one.
  • -c encoding_name specify database encoding. The list of supported encodings can be viewed here
  • -f forces the output database to be regenerated (useful if you are unsure if decorated.db matches what export.db and env.db used)
  • -d enable debugging mode. Directly raise exceptions instead of outputting to the console after capture, which is convenient for debugging

A document instructing you how to use the SuperScriptViewer is built into the SuperScriptViewer and can be viewed from the Help page.

Troubleshooting

  • If SuperScriptViewer.py displays TEXT type decoding error, you will need to use switch -c to whatever encoding system your OS uses since Virtools uses multi-byte encoding and depends on your system's locale. It should be noted that the specified encoding is not the current code page of your computer, but the code page of the author who made this Virtools document.
  • If Virtools or SuperScriptViewer show an error window or message, please create an issues page noting what Virtools version you have, a link to your file you used to export and the error message.

Build

  1. Download repository.
  2. Get SQLite SDK (amalgamation) and binaries (sqlite-dll-win32-x86) from sqlite.org
  3. Extract both SQLite SDK and binaries to the same folder.
  4. Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2015 by typing Developer Command in Windows Search
  5. Go to directory where you've extracted SDK and binaries and type lib /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib /MACHINE:x86 which will build a lib file for SQLite.
  6. Open SuperScriptMaterializer solution.
  7. Edit SuperScriptMaterializer Properties page as necessary:
    • General -> Target Platform Version
    • General -> Output Directory
    • General -> Platform Toolset
    • C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories (Add your SQLite path and Virtools Includes Path)
    • Linker -> General -> Output File
    • Linker -> General -> Additional Library Dependencies (Add your SQLite path and Virtools Lib/Win32/Release Path)
    • Linker -> Debugging -> Generate Program Database File
  8. Clean and Build as Release

Development plan

In subsequent versions, the following features will be gradually added:

  • Current page search and global search
  • Shortcut tracking
  • Move Block and BB in Viewer
