Crawl merge tool

[Laraso]

If you like to play the latest version of trunk offline like me, you've probably noticed how frequently trunk is updated. Moving over your saves, morgues, settings, and (if you have them) custom vaults can get annoying when you have to do it almost every time you want to play.

That's why I wrote this script to automate the process of moving player-generated data (morgues/saves/settings etc.) across versions. I figured I'd share it, in case it could be of help to someone else. If you saw my other thread entitled "/saves?", please know that I've fixed this and it copies save data correctly.

If you want to use it, copy the text from the code box above and paste it into notepad, and then save it as crawlmerge.bat. To use it, put this script and the two versions of Crawl you want to merge into an empty folder, and then run this script.

You can just install into the same folder as last time. Or set the user directory to something outside of the crawl folder altogether.

I've tried installing into the same folder, but it breaks the game whenever I do. Crashes on startup.

How do I change the user directory for crawl? I didn't know that was possible.

- Are you using installer, or zip file version?

- Are you installing to a non-standard location? (i.e. not in Program Files)

There's a known problem on some versions of Windows where the game will crash on startup sometimes but it should eventually start if you try a few times, but this could be something different. Technically this should work fine.

How do I change the user directory for crawl? I didn't know that was possible.

Well you shouldn't need to change it if we can get the crashing fixed, but you can set morgue_dir and save_dir in your init.txt.

I've been copying my old folder and pasting it into my new one freshly downloaded one, then merging folders and skipping any clashing files but only really to keep my high scores although it seems to work for saves, note that I use downloaded zip files.

If all you want to do is keep your high scores, just copy the scores file located in the /saves directory. That's way simpler than copying the entire crawl folder.

I personally don't like doing things that way, which was why I made that script. (Although now that I think about it, it's closer to being a program than a simple script) It copies only what I specifically want to copy, in as little as five key presses. If I happen to have custom vaults, I just tell it the name of the vault and it automatically copies it and adds it to loadmaps.lua. I personally find that the simplest and most effective way of transferring data between versions.
