Mass POI Import

metavirus · #1 03-29-2005, 04:29 PM

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere but I have been searching for a mass logfile-based POI extractor. I have been working on a new map for a new zone and had a ton of new POI's I wanted to note down. There were so many that I didn't want to input each of them individually. Is there any tool for extracting a bunch of POI's from a logfile?

I would see such a tool
1. looking through a logfile for a /loc
2. looking on a subsequent line for an /emote[(s)?] containing the name, type and description of the /loc

I know this would still require me to do some typing, but it would be in-game and could happen as I was walking around.

Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Thanks for making such a great mod!

Maybe entailing less work would be a tool to import an xls/delimited file into the POI site.

get my custom textfile parser in the utilities section.
learn how to use regular expressions.

But are we not then still left with the task of manually inputting each POI by hand?
