grfdebug.log parsing tool (Updated 2007/04/14 @06:25 GMT)
Posted: 10 Apr 2007 23:08
I've been meaning to do this for a long time, but I finally sat down and actually *did* it.
This tool will read grfdebug.log and the associated NFO file, and produce a grfdebug.txt with lines that look like:
The listed sprite numbers, where not clearly invalid, are the in-nfo sprite numbers, not the numbers out of the log, and are in decimal. Everything else in hex. If you specify the wrong nfo file, you will get lots of warnings, and not nearly as much UI, but you'll still get the reformatted log.
Run it from the command line. It takes a single argument, which is the name of the nfo file that you want to debug. grfdebug.log must be in the same directory as the binary.
The search order for the nfo file is the same as for NFORenum:
file
file.nfo
sprites/file
sprites/file.nfo
The attachments contain the usual: A win32 binary in the first, and the source, with DOS and Unix linefeeds, in the second and third, respectively.
