Timeline and Buildability consistency check tool finds these

[wlindley]

After chasing down why the Clyde Cargo Steamer was unusable

...the hull is available 1870/01−1912/01 although the holds are 1853/01−1880/01...

...I added a timeline consistency check to what I started several years ago now:

Just to see if there were any other "holes" in the goods flow, I wrote a little Perl program...

and came up with 780 inconsistencies in the trains/ part of the Pak128.Britain dat files as they currently exist in the svn.  There are more in the boats/ section and bus/ as well.  The program does attempt to follow the rules as to prev/next constrains as defined in the wiki and in the object-reader/writer code.

I have not verified each of these of course but I wonder if we ought to have an automated tool to keep things in order?

In hopes this can be expanded to something truly useful, it's on github now.

[wlindley]

Updated version on github understands some of the newer syntax, but still finds a variety of issues:

   
• When does pakset actually begin? (In 1530/05,  StageWagonMail is introduced, is unbuildable because none of its constraints are available until 1750/01, when RoadHorsesDouble becomes available.)
• Probable editing inconsistency artifacts (In 1869/11, vehicles(PacketBarge) retire... rendering PacketBargeAddMail unbuildable until 1918/01 when it retires.)
• Incomplete, missing, or misnamed dependencies (** CompositeHullUnpoweredNarrowboatMail is not defined; it is required as a constraint of SteamNarrowboatTug.)
• Vehicles partially introduced but unbuildable because of dependencies (In 1852/05,  LBSCR-standard-goods-tender is introduced, is unbuildable because none of its constraints are available until 1855/02, when LBSCR-long-boiler-mixed becomes available.)
• And a rather large number of previous/next mismatches like ** 4-wheel-1860s-fast-freight has next of LMR-4Wheel-TPO, but LMR-4Wheel-TPO does not have prev of 4-wheel-1860s-fast-freight.

Should I keep working on this tool to make it more useful?

Perhaps we need some better process to make pakset creation and editing less tedious...

[jamespetts]

This is a very interesting tool: it should certainly help to make paksets more reliable. Might it be modified to work with Experimental parameters, I wonder? It'd be very useful for the Experimental paksets, as there are even more things to keep track of there.

Incidentally, has anyone an idea whether these problems are also problems for the Experimental version of this pakset?

[wlindley]

The tool does understand most of Experimental, although certainly can be expanded. 

I have split the complete analysis into separate files for easier viewing here with these sections:

   
• Overall Timeline
• Goods Overview
• Goods Detail List
• Rolling Stock List
• Rolling Stock Cost/Performance
• Consistency Check

Also the tool gives us this chart:

That is useful. Is this a tool that can be downloaded so that I can run it on Experimental?

Edit: I see that you provided a Github link - apologies for missing that. However, I am not familiar with this sort of file, a .pl file. Do I need some specific software to run this?

[wlindley]

Just Perl.  Which is standard with any Linux system, or OSX.  On Windows, try Strawberry Perl

[jamespetts]

Attempting to run this produces the below error - I have put this in the same folder as the base folder for the .dat files, in which there are subfolders, and have tried the commands "show_objects.pl", "show_objects.pl -r .\" and "show_objects.pl -v", al with the same results.

Line 6 should be a comment: #   Copyright (c) 2009-2014 and released under the GNU General Public License version 2.0  as you can see here.  Apparently your line 6 has something about <class ... "en" ... --? You must have downloaded / saved it incorrectly?

Also you will probably want to invoke it with arguments, as:

show_objects.pl -t text/en.tab -r . >report.txt

where the dot (or period, or full stop) means "all *.dat files in and below the current directory."  Assuming you are in the pakset root of course.  And then using the greater-than redirection to save the output to a file.

I do not understand how it is even possible to do this. Is this the right link?

[wlindley]

This is the project on github.  Use a git clone https://github.com/lindleyw/simutrans-pak-tools.git somewhere in a working directory to get a usable git copy of it.  Or this is the raw file.

[wlindley]

The first line of the file, as you view it with a text editor (vi, emacs, Notepad on Windows) should be:

#!/usr/bin/perl

[wlindley]

p.s., it looks like you saved the HTML of GitHub's web page, as the show_objects.pl file... instead of saving the pl file itself.

[jamespetts]

Thank you for that - I now have what I believe is the correct file. However, I now get:

C:\Users\James\Documents\Development\Simutrans\PakBritain sources\New>show_objects.pl -r .\
Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at C:\Users\James\Documents\Development\Simutrans\PakBritain sources\New\show_objects.pl line 586, <DATA> line 2125.

[wlindley]

That is a warning (I used a fairly new feature) which may be safely ignored.  Do you get output?

[jamespetts]

This is the only output that I get.

[wlindley]

And you run that with '.' (the current directory) being the root of the pakset source? With directories goods/, industries/, trains/, and so on, directly beneath?  I haven't used Microsoft or Apple products in fifteen years so this has only been tested on Linux.

[jamespetts]

The exact command that I gave is quoted in the post above (no. 13). The directory in which it is run is the directory which is the root directory for all of the files (with goods, trains, etc. beneath it).

[wlindley]

Try adding the -v switch and let's see if it's actually finding any files?

[jamespetts]

Adding the -v switch I get the exact same output.

[wlindley]

That means it's not finding any files.  Not sure why. Try just the dot without the trailing backslash? 

[jamespetts]

I have tried with just the dot, no dot and no slash, the dot and the slash and the dot and a backslash (all with -v and -r), and I still get the same output. I am afraid that I do not know the Python language, so cannot assist with debugging. Am I supposed to use the normal Windows command shell for this?

[wlindley]

Perl, not Python.  And yes, this should work from a command line.  I have no way to test it on Windows, however, having got rid of my Win98 system 15 years ago. Have to see what I can do.

Thank you. I shall have to try it on Linux when I get a chance. Thank you for writing this tool, in any event: that is most helpful. Perhaps you should start a new thread about it in the tools subforum?

I tried this for pak64.

Unfourtunately, after installing all missing modules, I stille get the same output as James
