Updated random warband generator

[telengard]

I've added a lot of new functionality to this python script. It will be in the next release, but it should work fine with the current release so I'm making it available now. Modifying the script assumes you know a wee bit of python or are OK with tinkering...

The current script can be downloaded here:

http://home.comcast.net/~bsturk/dreamblade/random_warband.py

Usage

Run without any arguments it will generate a random warband using all the supported pieces and save the warband to a file named "random_warband.txt". You can do this by double clicking the file (on Windows) or running it in a command window via:

Code: Select all

python random_warband.py

If you want to save it to a different file name you can pass the filename to save to on the command line, like so:

Code: Select all

python random_warband.py my_random_warband.txt

Also, the script itself has lots of ways to filter out or auto include pieces.

If you do not want particular pieces to ever be included in a random warband, add them to the ignore_names list.

For example:

Code: Select all

ignore_names = [ 'Bristleback Basher', 'Cannibal Pariah' ]

Bristleback Basher and Cannibal Pariah in this case will never be put into a random warband.

To auto include pieces before adding any random pieces, modify the auto_add_names list.

Code: Select all

auto_add_names   = [ ]

Is an empty list so would not auto add any pieces.

Code: Select all

auto_add_names   = [ 'Unsated Ragedrake', 'Scarab Warcharm' ]

Would include 1 each of Unsated Ragedrake and Scarab Warcharm in any generated warband.

You can also limit what is added to the random warband by a combination of set, aspect, and lineage.
By default all sets, aspects, and lineages are included. Note, for all of these filters, the reference strings to use are in the all_sets, all_aspects, all_lineages lists. For aspects and lineages the 'None' string is to handle no aspect or lineage.

If you wanted to only include the Core and Anvilborn sets you would modify the include_sets list.

Code: Select all

include_sets     = [ 'Core', 'Anvilborn' ]

If you also wanted to only have Passion, Valor, and aspect-less pieces you would modify the include_aspects list.

Code: Select all

include_aspects      = [ 'None', 'Valor', 'Passion' ]

If in addition you only wanted Bloodcut and no lineage pieces you would modify the include_lineages list.

Code: Select all

include_lineages     = [ 'None', 'Bloodcut' ]

Any questions etc just post 'em here.

At some point I will be making scripts to generate sealed products...

Where does this file go specifically?

Where does this file go specifically?

On Windows it goes wherever you unpacked the zip file. There should already be a file called random_warband.py, just drop this new one on top of it, overwriting it.

Just a note to say that I've removed the download of the .py file, but it is available in the new release which I just posted.
