View morgue file after dying.

[siprus]

Is there way to view your morgue file as soon as you die, or do you have to close the game and go find the individual file. (if there is no way, i'd love to see an option to see latest morgue file.)

And yes i know you can check your morgue files individually, but i'd prefer there to be ability to look up latest quickly and in client. Not a big thing be it would still be an nice option.

Not in-client, but you can do this with inotifywait on Linux.

  Code:

#!/bin/sh
#Save this as something like 'crawlwatch' and chmod +x it.
# then use it to run crawl instead of typing 'crawl-tiles'.
# Hit Ctrl+C to exit the loop.

VIEWER="geany --read-only"
# if you don't have wmctrl installed, this will produce a harmless error
# (and not attempt to raise the window)
RAISE="wmctrl -a geany"

crawl-tiles&
while true; do
   #Watch the morgue directory
   FNAME=$(inotifywait -e CREATE ~/.crawl/morgue/ | sed 's/ CREATE //g')
   # If it looks like a morgue, view it.
   if echo "$FNAME" | grep -E "morgue-[^/]+\.txt"; then
      $VIEWER "$FNAME"
      $RAISE
   fi
done


Tested, works. On Arch Linux, substitute .crawl/ -> .stone-soup/

Thank you, but I use windows (I know shame on me.)

[savageorange]

There are similar tools available for Windows, but I don't know anything much about them.

This pretty much works:

  Code:

@echo off
"crawl.exe"
for /F %%i in ('dir /B /O:-D "morgue\morgue*.txt"') do (
    call :open "%%i"
    exit /B 0
)
:open
    start "dummy" "morgue\%~1"
exit /B 0


Drop that into a batch (whatever.bat) file in your crawl directory and run it to open crawl. It should open the most recent morgue file when crawl closes. You may have to adjust the crawl morgue directory (If it's not a subfolder of wherever crawl is installed) and this calls 'crawl.exe' which on my system is the console version of crawl.

Could be improved by storing the latest modification time found in the morgue directory, then opening each of the files that are newer than that (avoiding the 'I didn't really care about that character, I wanted the other one that died this session' problem)

Yet another approach, if you have Python installed, is this:

  Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
#
# The above is required for identification, even on Windows, IIRC.
#
# Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D to exit.
#
import sys, os, time
import glob
from subprocess import call

last_files=set(glob.glob('morgue\\morgue*.txt'))
while 1:
    these_files = set(glob.glob('morgue\\morgue*.txt'))
    diff = these_files.difference(last_files)
    if diff:
         for d in diff:
             call(['start','dummy',d])
         last_files=these_files
    time.sleep(15)   # 15s between scans.



Which is admittedly inefficient with its repeated rescans, but will detect and open each new morgue as-it-happens, rather than at the end of each session.

Thank you for your trouble. This will be useful.
