Grunt-init mod templates

Another server template

Balance Grunt - https://github.com/JustinLove/pa_smod_balance_grunt

Doesn't copy any game files, but sets up a gruntfile that can copy all or a subset of unit files, run transformations, and patch some recent json changes.

Added linting and schema to grunt package.

Client templates updated to remove depreciated fields

So I have been playing around trying to get this to work. I thought I used the task 'patch_67998' and it seemed to work fine. However it didn't edit any of the anim_trees paths.

I imagine the problem is with me. Could you give me an example of what you would type if you wanted to update a server mod with the recent json changes?

Well, I was mostly in an instance and copying back to the template, but a quick test shows it working.

Code:

mkdir testnew
cd testnew
grunt-init pa_smod_balance_grunt
npm install
grunt copy:unitFiles
mvim (to look at assult_bot.json and verify old animtree)
grunt patch_67998

If you're updating an old mod, replace the copy:unitFiles with a manual copy of the mod files. You can use the task in a throwaway mod to check what paths it's expecting.

It took me longer then I would like to admit, but I got it working. Thanks for the help.

Update to server grunt to address excessive uploads.

PA will upload all files in the mod directory, including `node_modules` and maybe even `.git` - you probably don't want to use the generated project in `server_mods` directly, unless you really like waiting. The template is set up run to run as a project within a peer directory of `server_mods` - I use `server_mods_dev/mod_name`. The task `grunt copy:mod` will copy the mod files to `../../server_mods/identifier`, you can change the `modPath` in the Gruntfile if you want to run it from somewhere else.

Updated the server grunt template with the transform oriented workflow I've been using. That is, copy-and-modify in one step ('proc'), rather than the edit-in-place workflow it originally suggested (now 'modify')

Found I was always removing the in-place editing stuff from my mods. Backed out the programmatic stuff from pa_smod_balance_grunt and made a new template based on how I'm doing most of my vanilla-riff server mods.

Transform - https://github.com/JustinLove/pa_smod_transform

Doesn't copy any game files, but sets up a gruntfile that will copy files from PA and write programmatically modified versions into the mod. CAUTION: the game will upload node_modules and who knows what else from a mod directory. You should work in a separate directory and use the copy:mod task to make files visible, see README.

Available Tasks

- copy:mod - copy the mod files into server_mods
- proc:adv_comfab - Proc: read one or more files from PA and munge into one in the mod. Example is a reduced cost adv. fabrication bot
- proc:antinuke - restore the builtin first antinuke.
- default: proc, copy:mod

Updated the server templates to not prompt for forum, prompt for category, and provide default build number.
