You find several interesting items..
1) Castaway/GP 008 - uploaded now
2) Casyaway/GP dos command line tool for making CRC32's - uploaded now
3) Link to downlaod the master games database original -- will be uploaded in an hour or so
Castaway/GP 008 will load up the STGAMES.TXT file from your GP's ATARIST directory on load. This means we can edit that file, and you can pop it onto your SMC anytime you want, to get immediate results. You don't need to wait for me to update the Castawya/GP executable.. the database is self contained.
It currently has all the Automation disks in it, but not too much else. We need to grow it. I can try and merge in some other files, but looks like we've got some manual labour ahead.
That means we need to be organized.. we don't want people redoing each others work!
So if you wish to help out adding to the database, post here in this forum to claim a group, or series of disks, or originals. ie: Make a posting saying "I claim Medway Boys disks 1 through 50, will have them done by Monday" or that sort of thing. Then you email me the medway boys *only* chunk of textfile, to support@codejedi.com, and I merge it into the database and check to make sure theres no duplicates.
So how do you do it?
The top part of the STGAMES.TXT file tells you how to format things.
You use the command line tool to generate a CRC32 number for the disk you have. I will make DOS, Linux and FreeBSD versions of the utility.. for now, the first one is a DOS command line one.
You just go like this..
crc32 FILENAME
And it spits out a number (assumign you have that file
Then you format it like this..
AU:35:1234567:game 1; game 2; game 3
Thats it
AU is the group name; the top of the STGAMES.TXT file lists the legend to use.
35 is the disk number.. Automaiton 35, for example.
If its an original, you use OR:1 ..
1234567 si the CRC number spit out by the tool.
Thent he game list; if one game, just put it. IF multiple games, separate with SEMICOLON AND SPACE!
"Dungeon Master; OIDs" is correct.
So if you claim Medway 1-50, then you'll give me a 50 line textfile.
Dont' give me the rest.. then I don't know which are new!
I will merge the submission into the database after checking for duplicates.. in case two peopel do medway 50 for instance.
Is this enough information to help?
