View File A Database editor for gooser's Apropos mod, powered by Java Swing and Google's JSON parser, GSON. Apropos relies on a folder structured database of JSON formatted text files, with one file for each stage of an animation. This usually means you need a minimum of four files open to browse or edit the lines for an animation or position, and it can be very easy to make mistakes that leave unparseable JSON. As such, the aim when creating this editor was to provide a single application that makes browsing and editing an Apropos Database easier, faster, and more approachable. Requirements: Apropos. This editor isn't good for much else. Java SE Runtime Environment 8. Can be ported to Java 7 on request, but I do make use of some of 8's features. Not to mention that you should always use the latest release Current Features: 1.0 Select any database folder on your computer. Browse through the list of automatically fetched Actor Combinations. Display an entire position's file's, divided and indented by stage and perspective. Edit any opened line simply by double clicking and typing away. Add new lines, and duplicate or remove existing lines with the right click menu. Wipe entire sections or stages if you wish to start over. Write button to commit all your changes in perfect JSON to be immediately available in game. Simulate Apropos on a set of files by replacing {TAGS} with randomly chosen synonyms and highlight one line from each section to form a set that could have been chosen in game. Open scenes in new windows to make it easier to look for inspiration for new files. Lines in new windows are fully editable, so if you spot a mistake while working on a file in the main window, you can edit and commit the changes from the external window. Copy an existing position's lines to a new position provided by name, automatically renaming the files to match the new position name and loading the new files into the main window. Unify Formatting across the entire database to match the format outputted by the editor, fixing any mixed tabs and spaces or redundant newlines. Will report any JSON Errors in the databases files. Quick descriptions for each button are given with tooltips by hovering over the (?) symbol. Program will remember it's position and size onscreen when closed, as well as any database locations you've added and the actor names chosen for simulation to be re-loaded when you next open it. If a chosen folder has a listing in the UniqueAnimations list, the Unique position will be auto-selected. Window is fully resizable, so make it as big or small as you want. Minimising the main window will minimise every open sub window, and re-maximising any window will bring every window back up. 1.1 Copy an existing position's lines and add them to the matching sections in another existing position. Hotkeys for navigating the application faster, visible by hovering over each button. Add new Stages or remove existing ones. Copy lines, perspectives and stages around in the open position. Positions combo-box will only contain available positions. Rape checkbox will auto-select based on available files. 1.2a2 Check a file for duplicate lines left by typo-corrections or mergeing files, then choose which lines, if any, you want to discard with a click of the 'Resolve Conflicts' button. Automatically convert between 1st and 2nd Person when using the copy to options in a perspective's right click menu. Get color coded warnings that scale from Yellow (Possible) to Red (Certain) based on probability that the line is long enough to get cut off in-game. 1.2a3 Update Available Notification in the header when a new release is made on GitHub. Copy and Paste options in right click menu on stage and perspective headers to convert to and from JSON using the system's clipboard. You can now copy lines between windows or even just outside the program. New Hotkey (F5) that re-selects the loaded animation in the drop-down boxes, in case you want to reload it or just forgot what was loaded. 1.2a4 Word Wrapping for each line of text Tabs for each file opened in the main window. Close with CTRL + W, Cycle through with CTRL + TAB and CTRL + SHIFT + TAB. Update Available Notification in a new Tab with Download button for the new release. Synoynms Viewer to display the contents of the three Synonyms files. Progress Bar in the bottom left will update during long tasks and display current tasks the editor is working on or has completed. Alphabetical Line Sorting for Unify Formatting function, to aid with merging databases. Shortened Filenames in Drop Down boxes and Tabs to free up space for text. Unix Support, becuase why not. Installation and Quickstart Guide: Download the .zip attached here or just the .jar from the Latest Release on GitHub. Extract the .zip, discarding the sources if you don't care about them. Place the .jar in the /Apropos/ directory, so in the same folder /db/ folder is in. Launch the jar by double clicking, or with command line "java -jar Apropos_Edit-1.0.1.jar". Select "<other>" from the combo-box to the right of "Apropos \db\ Location" Select the db folder that should be right in front of you, otherwise navigate to the database you want to open. Select a folder from the combo-box below Animation Options, a position from the box below that, and whether or not you want the Rape files. Load! Right click on lines for options like Clear, Remove or Duplicate, Double Click to edit, escape/click somewhere else to cancel, enter to save the new line. Click the write button to save your changes! Hotkeys CTRL + W - Close Tab or Window if no Tabs Open CTRL + O - Open Selected Animation CTRL + SHIFT + O - Open Selected Animation in New Window CTRL + S - Save (Previously Write) your changes CTRL + N - Copy Selected Animation to new position CTRL + SHIFT + N - Copy Selected Animation and append it to an Existing Animation CTRL + R - Simulate (Run) the lines, opening the names dialog CTRL + SHIFT + R - Simulate (Run) the lines, skipping the names dialog CTRL + TAB - Cycle to the next tab to the right CTRL + SHIFT + TAB - Cycle to the next tab to the left ALT + F - Select the Folder combo-box ALT + P - Select the Positions combo-box ALT + R - Select the Rape checkbox F5 - Select the open animation in the Folder and Position combo-boxes Planned Features: Best way to keep up with planned features is to check the Open Enhancements on the Issue Tracker, where you can also suggest new features and be automatically notified when those features are worked on or completed. Planned for the next release (1.2): Progress [ ||||||||||||| ] (T) Making simulation pick a single arousal and wear and tear level for the entire simulation, optionally configured. (T) Wordwrap on the description lines and their attached editors. (T) Support for Editing the various Synonyms files. (T) Regex powered entire database search, like grep but won't require you to navigate to each file, find the line, edit it correctly, etc. Would display every matching line for every animation in the entire database. (T) List Broken Synonyms - Will scan the database for any lines that have {TAGS} that don't have any entries in Synonyms.txt or other synonym files, displaying the lines so you can fix the tags manually. Will find any typos in tags or tags from files that may have come from other databases without the synonyms entries to match. (T) Suggest Synonyms - Will scan the database for any words that also exist under a Synonym tag, so you can add new tags to the Synonyms file and then retroactively replace words the tag produces in existing lines. (T) Fuzzy Line comparison to see if two lines may be duplicates of eachother, where perhaps one may have a fixed typo instead. (T) Copy to Existing Position will check for duplicates before completing the insert, since many files in Apropos share lines between them. (T) Check existing file for duplicates, so you can clean up existing files - especially the larger ones. (T) Warning when line may be too long to display in game, scaling from unlikely to certain based on longest and shortest possible combination of synonyms (T) Button to select the currently open animation in the dropdown boxes. (T) Perspective Shifting when copying between perspectives. (T) Perspective/Stage copy/paste using system clipboard, to allow moving lines between windows and exporting to/importing from other text editors Future Plans (T) Fix Comma Errors - Will scan for JSON Validation errors in your database and automatically attempt to fix them by manually reading and rewriting the file. (T) Support for Themes, to copy animations and synonyms between, adjust weighting, simulate with a given theme, etc. (T) Support for Keyboard only navigation, so between lines, between animations and between databases. (T) Load recently displayed lines from the Apropos logs for quick editing. (T) Will only happen if I can find any existing libraries that support the process, but potentially, maybe, actually displaying the animation (or at least a few frames from it) while you work on lines for it. Ideally at least looking like Leito's Animation Previews. I don't have much hope for this one, but can't deny it would be sweet. If anyone has any ideas, even a non-java workflow, I'd love to hear it. Potential alternative would just be very dedicated screenshotting, I guess. Known Issues (GitHub Tracker): (T) Writes use Unix Line Endings instead of Windows CRLF. You will not be able to open the files in Notepad.exe after writing or unifying formatting, but any text editor worth using will handle it fine. Also of note, written lines will have the opening brace on the same line as the key, instead of on a newline as it is written in the current database downloads. If you aren't a fan of the One True Brace Style, I'm afraid I don't have an easy way to fix this. Could be done if it really bothers people, but it would add a fair bit of computation to every write. (T) Synonyms Editor will throw lots of errors if you try to right click in it, since I reused basically all the code for the main window. A proper editor for those files is coming soon. Reporting Issues or Suggesting Features: If you find an issue that isn't listed above or have an idea for a feature that isn't currently planned, please tell me about it either in the Support Topic or on the Issue Tracker. If the issue involved an exception, please include the StackTrace and any steps required to reproduce the error. If the program didn't display the stacktrace, open command line, CD to the .jar's location, and execute it with "java -jar Apropos_Edit-1.0.1.jar >> output.txt". Perform any steps you need to get to the error, then edit the application, and find the output.txt file that will be in the same directory as the .jar. Attach that to any post or issue you make.

Please post only feature requests and ideas here. Also submit any .txt file submissions here. Thanks Original Mod: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/28123-apropos/

View File This is a utility program I wrote to add to the functionality of the awesome mod, Apropos, http://www.loverslab.../28123-apropos/ This utility started out as a autohotkey script, to allow for better readable text overlays for Apropos. So instead of the ingame notification messages, with it's sometimes unreadable speeds, you get a text which looks more like the subtitles during normal conversation. It works by showing the texts in an always on top overlay window from a tray program which continually reads the apropos descriptions from the Apropos log file. Later I added some extra features: - it keeps a history of the last used lines in the game, and shows these in a list which allows these to be quickly opened in a text editor for editing. - I added some text to speech functionality, which reads the apropos lines out loud with any voice you have installed on your system. - wrote some functions to allow as of yet unsupported animations from apropos to work in the overlay, for now only FF. - added JSON parser function to check for errors in database files. getting it to work requires you so set some things up, in skyrim, apropos, and in its settings.ini file. This can be a bit tricky if you don't know what's what. so here's a 'way to in-depth' guide: Installation: Extract all files into a folder, don't run from the zipfile:) if you want to use the option to turn off the apropos messages and only the ones from this, also unzip the apropos patch archive into your skyrim dir. or use NMM and overwrite files, or use MO. (btw. patch is for version 20141018 of apropos no idea if it will work in future/past versions) Operation: The program (Apropos Utility.exe) once started resides in your tray menu, it has a right click menu for some toggle settings, a link to the 'settings.ini' file and a 'Reload' option (use reload to apply any changes in the settings file). 'View history' or left clicking the tray icon will open the history and voice settings. And the Exit button exits the program. Setting it up: Text Overlay: first off, to get the text overlay to work, you need to run skyrim in fullscreen windowed mode. With 'onetweak', an skse plugin for borderless fullscreen, you hardly notice the difference between fullscreen windowed and fullscreen mode. http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/40706/? . It also fixes the double mouse cursor problem and allows you to alt-tab in and out of the game without waiting ages. you have to set the BorderlessWindow = true flag in the onetweak.ini file for the overlay to work. (don't set skyrim to 'windowed' in the launcher, it's not necessary if you use onetweak) to get my program to read the apropos logs, you need to do 5 things: (see last screenshot for settings) 1. check if logging is enabled in the skyrim.ini file. 2. enable 'enable debug messages' in the Apropos MCM. 3. enable 'enable detailed trace messages' in the Apropos MCM. 4. There are 2 options depending on if you used the patch to disable apropos mesages: -no patch option) disable 'break messages into segments' in the Apropos MCM. -with patch option) enable 'break messages into segments' in the Apropos MCM, and set 'segment lenght' to 25 characters. 5. specify the path to the apropos log in the settings.ini file of this utility. * you can test the overlay by pressing, ctrl+alt+t, * you can change the text location during the test by pressing, ctrl+shift+ {up / down / left / right - arrows} * you can change font size with Ctrl+Shift+Alt + {up / down } * you can change change opacity with Ctrl+Shift+Alt + {left / right} * ctrl+shift+t toggles the overlay on and off, also during the game. * there are a lot more settings for the text, such as displaytime, font styles, alignment, disable/change fading. etc. in the ini file. open it and read the comments. (change the font type to something else if you don't have Futura installed, or to match your font replacer in skyrim) Text History: To get the sentence history to work check these lines in settings.ini: 1. enable the setting, 'searchfiles', it should be, searchfiles= 1; 2. add the path to your text editor .exe file, notepad_path= 3. specify the directory of your apropos db, its in *skyrimpath*/data/apropos/db. apropos_db= (or when using MO, just, *MOfolder*/mods/*aproposfolder*/db * you can open the history by clicking the tray icon, or by pressing, ctrl+shift+o. * you can check to see if you set the right ini settings for the notepad, db and log paths by clicking, 'open log file' and 'Synonyms file' in this window. These should both open in your specified text editor. TTS: to get text to speech to work: 1. have some text to speech voices installed, windows usually comes with some options. I recommend, http://www.ivona.com/en/voices/ , because these sound great. 2. open the utility by clicking the tray icon, ignore the message, that voices don't exist. 3. change all voices on the right side to ones available on your system. * you can toggle voices on and off, from the right click menu of the tray icon, or by pressing, ctrl+shift+v * you can change voice volume up and down by pressing, ctrl+shift+ {- / =} * check the ini file for more options, such as pitch, speech rate, volume offsets. Any sentences starting with (You ... ) will be said by femalevoice ( change female voice to a male voice if you play male char. ) any lines starting, with (....) will be said by male voice (same, change to female voice if you play a male char.). all other lines by narrator. to force narrator, check 'always narrator' in the util. To change the narrator voice saying '(xxxx Says)' change, Xsays = 0 or 1, in the settings.ini. to use voiced parts, you need a db with lines starting with the (you Say) / ({ACTIVE} says). The one I use is in the download, all credits to decauk for the original lines. It still has a lot of errors, I'm sure. I try to correct them as I play. Also this feature will break when the lesbian, gay, functions will be added to apropos, since {active} can by either gender, (I'll try to fix it when it's released) Not working?: The above covers all difficulties I could think off, but maybe I forgot something. I haven't tried it on any other install so let me know if it doesn't work as expected, and please attach your apropos.0.log file. it makes trouble shooting 10 times easier. check this forum topic, your question might be answered there. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/34407-estelles-apropos-utility-for-text-overlay-quick-text-edits-tts-and-f-f-support-wip/ Credits: gooser: for building the awesome Apropos Mod decauk: for the huge description database Submitter estelles Submitted 12/04/2014 Category Other Requires Apropos and it's requirements Special Edition Compatible
