Simple OpenKore Launcher

[sli]

UPDATE: There are now two different versions of this launcher. See below.

I haven't actually tested it as of posting it, but here's a little launcher I just wrote mainly as a sample for anyone who'd like one. It's a tad programmer-slanted (config is an associative array), but should be fairly simple to figure out. Just a note about the config, mon_control and item_control take a path name (like control/mon_control_new.txt), and rname is the name you appended to the config file (ex: for control/config-Link.txt, which is my config for Link To The Past, the rname is "Link"). Also, None is a keyword, NOT A STRING. If you quote it, things will break. The acct setting is trivial, it just helps you differentiate between characters on different accounts. Notice I just use "main" and "alt" for mine.

Code: Select all

import os

CONFIG = {
    'Flipkick':{
        'rname':None,
        'acct':'main',
        'mon_control':None,
        'items_control':None
    },

    'Malevolyn':{
        'rname':None,
        'acct':'main',
        'mon_control':None,
        'items_control':None
    },

    'Link To The Past':{
        'rname':'Link',
        'acct':'alt',
        'mon_control':None,
        'items_control':None
    },

    'Dash':{
        'rname':None,
        'acct':'alt',
        'mon_control':'control/mon_control-Dash.txt',
        'items_control':None
    },

    'Tike Myson':{
        'rname':'Tike',
        'acct':'main',
        'mon_control':'control/mon_control-Dash.txt',
        'items_control':None
    }
}

CHAR_LIST = CONFIG.keys()
CHAR_LIST.sort()

print '---- Characters ----'

at = 0
for k in CHAR_LIST:
    if 'acct' in CONFIG[k]: acct = ' (Account: %s)' % CONFIG[k]['acct']
    else: acct = ''
    print '%s: %s%s' % (at,k,acct)
    at += 1
print

while 1:
    c = raw_input('Choose: ')
    try:
        c = int(c)
        break
    except:
        print 'Please enter a NUMBER. Try again.'
        continue

print '\nStarting bot for %s...\n' % CHAR_LIST[c]

n = CHAR_LIST[c]
if 'rname' in CONFIG[n] and CONFIG[n]['rname']: rn = CONFIG[n]['rname']
else: rn = n

if os.name == 'nt':
    execStr = 'perl openkore.pl --config=control/config-' + rn + '.txt'
else:
    execStr = 'perl ./openkore.pl --config=control/config-' + rn + '.txt'

if 'mon_control' in CONFIG[n] and CONFIG[n]['mon_control']:
    execStr += ' --mon_control=' + CONFIG[n]['mon_control']

if 'items_control' in CONFIG[n] and CONFIG[n]['items_control']:
    execStr += ' --items_control=' + CONFIG[n]['items_control']

if 'sys' in CONFIG[n] and CONFIG[n]['sys'] :
    execStr += ' --sys=' + CONFIG[n]['sys']

if 'pickupitems' in CONFIG[n] and CONFIG[n]['pickupitems']:
    execStr += ' --pickupitems=' + CONFIG[n]['pickupitems']

while 1:
    os.system(execStr)
    print '\n'

New INI-based version - Use this one if you don't mind having two files (instead of just one) or aren't comfortable editing code.

Code: Select all

import os, ConfigParser

ini = ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser()
ini.read('Launcher.ini')

CHAR_LIST = ini.sections()
CHAR_LIST.sort()

print '---- Characters ----'

at = 0
for k in CHAR_LIST:
    if ini.has_option(k, 'acct'): acct = ' (Account: %s)' % ini.get(k, 'acct')
    else: acct = ''
    print '%s: %s%s' % (at,k,acct)
    at += 1
print

while 1:
    c = raw_input('Choose: ')
    try:
        c = int(c)
        break
    except:
        print 'Please enter a NUMBER. Try again.'
        continue

print '\nStarting bot for %s...\n' % CHAR_LIST[c]

n = CHAR_LIST[c]
if ini.has_option(n, 'rname'): rn = ini.get(n, 'rname')
else: rn = n

if os.name == 'nt':
    execStr = 'perl openkore.pl --config=control/config-' + rn + '.txt'
else:
    execStr = 'perl ./openkore.pl --config=control/config-' + rn + '.txt'

if ini.has_option(n, 'mon_control'):
    execStr += ' --mon_control=' + ini.get(n, 'mon_control')

if ini.has_option(n, 'items_control'):
    execStr += ' --items_control=' + ini.get(n, 'items_control')

if ini.has_option(n, 'sys'):
    execStr += ' --sys=' + ini.get(n, 'sys')

if ini.has_option(n, 'pickupitems'):
    execStr += ' --pickupitems=' + ini.get(n, 'pickupitems')

while 1:
    os.system(execStr)
    print '\n'

And here is a sample Launcher.ini. Things to note include the two different setting styles and the semi-advanced string substitution with %()s:

Code: Select all

[Flipkick]
acct=main

[Malevolyn]
acct=main

[Link To The Past]
BASE: control/Link
rname: Link
acct: alt
items_control: %(BASE)s/item_control-Link.txt

[Dash]
acct=alt
mon_control=control/mon_control-Dash.txt

[Tike Myson]
rname=Tike
mon_control=control/mon_control-Dash.txt

Sample output:

Code: Select all

---- Characters ----
0: Dash (Account: alt)
1: Flipkick (Account: main)
2: Link To The Past (Account: alt)
3: Malevolyn (Account: main)

Choose: 1

Bump for bug fix.

@ silence
dKore is for windows only.
This launcher is cross platform.

It also doesn't cater itself to noobs because you still have to manage the files yourself. This just gives you a universal way of starting all your bots. I'd like to rewrite it in C or something, but I'm lazy. I'll at least write a version using Python's ConfigParser module which would allow some bitchin' features. For example:

Code: Select all

[Flipkick]
base=control\Flipkick
config=%(base)s\config.txt
mon_control=%(base)s\mon_control.txt

Yes, you can reference other config variable inside the same block with the %()s syntax.

Bump for INI-based version. XML version, anyone? Why the hell not, it'll be done in a few minutes.

[mnemonic]

I appreciate your effort in making the code, my only question is how to stop the bot using your launcher?

ctrl+c isn't working for me, it just loops and loops.

the only way I can do to stop the bot is through using the kill -9 {pid}

Thanks,

[sli]

Try ctrl+z, or just close the terminal.
