CHTML Users?

leo1434 · #1 April 13th, 2004, 03:24 AM

Hello to all!

I downloaded the chtm program from the spaceempires.net pages. I thought: wonderful! This program is the answer to my desires!! (Think that I made a print of my components.txt file worth 2MB and was manually typing the data in an access data base!).

The problem is I can make it work! I carefully made what the readme said, but it hangs in tje Last part. I saw it created a .html file in my HD bit is 0 bites. I even tried splitting the Components.txt in two parts (1 Mb each) but it was the same.

Anyone has some info about the solution?

Thanks!

What operating system are you using? It was only tested on Win XP Pro, where it worked fine for me.

Also, what data files are you testing this with? Stock SE4? A particular mod? Try getting it to work with the stock file. It is possible that there is some combination in the mod you are using (assuming you are using a mod) that I did not test that exposes a hidden bug in the program.

Same crap happened on my win2k pro machine with Adamant's component file. Investigation process is up and going.

Edit: Fyron I have a feature request: could you make chtml to work with CLI parameters in addition to interactive question-answer interface (well, I just don't like interactive CLI

).
Something like:

code:

 chtml /P c:\se4\TehMod\Data\ /F Components.txt /S TehModComp /O index.html ...etc

But even without this your utility is very helpfull (when it works

). Thanks for this piece of code, Fyron.

I have no idea how to go about having stuff like that...

Hi Fyron!

Well, to the tech-specs: I use win 98SE, running in a PIII 750 Mhz 384 Mb RAM.

I was trying to process a comps.txt file of a proportions-based Mod, albeit very Customized.

Has your program a limit to size of the file to process? My file was 2 Mb, then I made it in two 1 Mb parts, no luck either. I think stock SE4 Comps.txt is less then 1 Mb.

I will try using your program with the standard file, but I dont think it is different from mine (except in size)...

Thanks!

Well, I need you to see if you can use the program on the stock file or not, as this will tell me whether the problem is operating system related or related to something specific about your mod's data file.
