RPGMakerScraper

a tool that parses and scrapes (at the time of development) 'RPG Maker MV' json data and finds references to variables, switches and more written in c++17

usage

• either download the .exe or compile the source code by making your own visual studio project and adding the repo files
• drop the executable inside a directory where your RPG Maker MV project rests.

there should be a data/ folder in the root directory

list references to variable id '143'

RPGMakerScraper -v 143

list references to variable id '24' and store the results in 'var_24.txt'

RPGMakerScraper -v 24 var_24.txt

list references to switch id '27'

RPGMakerScraper -s 27

list references to variable id '79' and output as .json

RPGMakerScraper -v 79 var_79.json

it's that easy.

notes

this was a quick and dirty side-project that piqued my interest. so there's still a lot of stuff that needs to be done like:

• caching results so all the events don't need to be scraped anymore
• fixing output to support wchar_t/unicode
• finding results in a more optimized manner (maybe multithreading the parsing/scraping?)
• allowing multiple queries and multiple uses

but it gets the job done and i'll probably get around to them eventually - no promises.
