ck-clean: Removing dead characters from savegames

[tombom]

That means it's running yacc without arguments and so it tells you how to use it. At least it looks like it...

 

[ECLoco]

Thanks for all your help. I've installed yacc (or, rather, byacc), so that bit's fixed, but now I get a different error when I run make:

yacc --verbose --defines --output-file=ck_parser.c --name-prefix=ck_yy ck_parser.y
usage: yacc [-dlrtv] [-b file_prefix] [-p symbol_prefix] filename
make: *** [ck_parser.c] Error 1

Aaargh! What am I doing wrong?

That byacc thing seems to have a different format for its parameters. If mandrake doesn't have the original yacc you can always do what tombom said and use bison:

1. Install bison (again from the cds or the repository)
2. Add "YACC = bison -y" (without ") to the top of your Makefile
3. run make

Maybe it will actually work then. Yaaay

The only tool I've seen that can compile Perl was ActiveState's thing.

Thank you! I had never noticed noticed that.

bison's installed and working, and this time I get a slightly more specific error:

bison -y --verbose --defines --output-file=ck_parser.c --name-prefix=ck_yy ck_parser.y
ck_parser.y:400.12: parse error, unexpected ":", expecting ";" or "|"
ck_parser.y:402.4-403.24: $2 of `traits' has no declared type
make: *** [ck_parser.c] Error 1

I've tried make with the -k flag, but it can't get through the errors...

Maybe I should just give up on doing this in Linux, and use the Windows port instead

It works for me. And I can use it as often as I like on my savegames.
You can get the windows version from klas_a's site

Maybe the wrong bison version? I have no idea.

ok. i donwloaded both cygwin and ck-clean for windows. but im not good at things like this at all . so what should i do to install cygwin at my computer after donwloaded the program?

 

[unmerged(27839)]

You have to use the command line or dosbox or whatever it is called in windows. Copy the savegame to your ck-clean directory and when you are in the ck-clean folder, type:

ck-clean <oldsavegame.eug> -o <newsavegame.eug>

well after mixtureing around i think i finally started the program when i used cygwin.bat. then i wrote ck-clean and... voala! its there!
after trying with everything i can think of to write, like: ck-clean "Kingdom_of_France.eug" etc... im really desperet to get any ifromation of what im doing wrong. coz when i write something like in the example above it says:

In file ck_reader.c, in function read-savegame:
CKlib: Couldn´t open the savegame file.

Is the program only for v 1.03b (as i can se after writing "ck-clean -v" or can i use it for 1.04a? Im using the windows version.

Can anyone tell me what i should write/use etc.. to get this working.
Help would be very appritiated.

Thanks in advice!

No. I use 1.04 and it works.
Apparently it cannot find your file. Are you sure you are in the right directory? Also you need to enclose the file in quotes. But I see you have already done this.
Copy ck-clean and the savegame in the same directory and run it. If it is still unable to find the file then ...

It WORKS! Thank YOU very much! This tool is really amazing! Just in some seconds and my savegame file became almost half as big as it was from the beginning.

Thanks ElCorruptoLoco!

Don't thank me. Thank the programmer.

I think "ck-clean" have a big conceptual default : he change the game !
A good tool should only erease dead characters without living or dead childrens.

 

[Caranorn]

No idea how this works, but if it indeeds removes characters who have children it could influence inheritance and probably marriages in general as the game loses track of relationships.

Help.

You have to download both cygwin and ck-clean.
Which you can get from:

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~klas/CK/

http://www.cygwin.com/ (if you use windows)


Then put your savegame in the ...cygwin\bin folder.
Then open up the commandotolken, commandobox, dos-program or something like that.
Type where you have put your folder with the savegame. Like C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin ck-clean "oldsavegame.eug" -o "newsavegame.eug"

Hopefully it should have worked for you.


Special thanks to ElCorruptoLoco who help me with this.
