Parameter class library for Smash Ultimate

paracobNET

Param (.prc / .stprm / .stdat) class library for Smash Ultimate, written in C#, and the central tool for other projects in this repository. Can open, manipulate, save, and create param files. Dependent on .NET Standard 2.0

Note: for a faster, stand-alone alternative of ParamXML, see: https://github.com/ultimate-research/prc-rs/

Prerequisites to run

• Download appropriate application from Releases

• ParamLabels.csv from param-labels repo

• .NET Core 3 runtime

  • use .NET Core Installer
  • for prcEditor, also use .NET Core Desktop Installer

prcEditor

GUI for editing param files using a TreeView -> DataGrid format (Windows only)

ParamXML

Command line program to convert params to XML format and back. For help information use the -h argument.

prcScript

Interfaces param editing methods through a lua context. Script your edits!

For help information use the -h argument. For for the API available in scripts, use -a. See the Wiki for an example script.

paracobnet's Issues

Format copy to clipboard when selecting the datagrid

Currently only text in the Type column shows up, other two columns are empty

xml to prc

when i try to convert a xml back to prc i get this error

How Can I Open ParamXML on Mac?

This gamebanana tutorial explains that PRC editor is Windows specific but that ParamXML is cross platform: https://gamebanana.com/tools/6620

I assumed that means both Mac and Linux as well. Am I expected to use Wine or Winebottler on Mac to open the .exe or is there a way for me to open it natively from the terminal?

Can't build on case sensitive systems

The SLN doesn't have the correct name for paracobNET. The sln has paracobNET.csproj, while the file is named paracobNet.csproj. this breaks building under linux

Implement Query-based accessors for getting/setting params

1. Provides a patch-safe method of editing param files
2. Allows List children nodes in prcEditor to apply names from child params such as "fighter_kind"

Implement timed messages on status bar

Currently only supports messages from the worker thread, requires a different thread to act as a timer

prcEditor doesn't open

It just won't start up. I've tried running as an administrator with no luck. I have NET Core Runtime 3.0 installed so I don't know else could be the problem.

prcEditor isn't opening

I've got only the 3.0.3 runtimes and prcEditor.exe doesn't do anything when clicked?

screen recording

^ video evidence if I didn't explain the problem right

Adding keyboard shortcuts and allow double clicking PRCs in Windows Explorer

Adding the ability to open and save PRC's with Ctrl + O and Ctrl + S and opening prcEditor by double clicking a PRC. (I don't know the technical name for this, but I think it has to do with running the PRC has an argument of prcEditor.exe)

Duplicate hashes in parameter files support

A few parameter files have duplicate hashes in the root struct or issues with offsets (restating what you said in Discord). These are the files (in-case you can't access Discord or if someone else would want to look into it). Support for these should be implemented to get 1:1 files upon rebuilding.

Adding the ability to update param labels directly from software

It would be nice to have function similar to CrossArc where ParamLabels.csv can be fetched from GitHub directly.

prcEditor: Slow startup times

I think it's because of NET Core 3 stuff and JIT but maybe there are ways to fix it at the compilation stage

The ability to search.

I have no clue how exactly this could be implemented but searching for where an key is used or where a hash40 entry is used would be useful.

Show label editor when attempting to copy/paste duplicate hashes

Currently throws an exception. If the label is changed to another duplicate hash, display error message on status bar and do nothing
