this is cool. One thing though, I genned a world, and the civilization that I embarked from doesn't seem to have access to any of the normal plants. They don't have access to all of the random plants either, though, so I think that this may be normal. The file with the normal plants is still there, and it seems unchanged, so thats all good.

Gotta share this one:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I culled both of these but I wanted to share anyways.

Why did you cull them?  Obviously, you should have made some Cream of Cream Mushroom Soup!

Sometimes, you can just say that a plant has a really odd name, since some real-world plants do have odd names like "Weeping Willow", so a Beard Sister that has thread might just have a fiberous cotton-like material that looks like a beard to some people... umm... although I'm not sure why that would make someone prefer it for its "familialness"...

I guess it was named by someone teasing their sister by saying the plant looked just like them?

I find that this utility really comes into its own when you use it simply as a jumping-off point, and punch up the better results a bit before adding them to the raws.

For example:

Oh, by the way, for the next version I recommend that you set it to give the [SAVAGE] tag to plants with names from the WILD symbol group.

Also of note to those who have mentioned it, I'm currently dabbling at a random creature generator, that will make a raw file for a creature with some respects for size, biome, and activity.  There's less likely to be thin, hairless dogs in glaciers, and less likely to have woolly mammoths in deserts.

Very nice! I can't wait to try this program out, cause I just love random generators for brainstorming ideas off of. Thank you for making this.

Which brings me to another suggestion for the next tweak to the generator, namely that plants with names from the MAGIC or MYSTERY symbols should be permitted to have clear dyes (remember, the argument for POWDER_DYE isn't the color of the dye, its the color that the dye turns the cloth.)

Yeah, the script uses the plant adjective word to decide which syndrome to assign, so if there are custom words and it picks one that's not coded in the script it just doesn't assign a syndrome.  I suppose I should have it pick a random syndrome in that case.

Hi. I took a quick peek at the pastebin code and wondered why the tag parsing is so needlessly complicated with adding 1 character at a time. How about just:

Code: [Select]
for line in file:
tags = [tag.strip() for tag in line.partition('[')[-1].partition(']')[0].split(':')]
Which makes a list that removes spaces from edges of tags. Then again, it does create sane output already, so...

By the way, I would like to suggest that the price of a plant's seeds should at least partially map to the price of the plant itself (I'm pretty sure that in-game most seeds cost half as much as the plant)

This bit of code fails on line with multiple tags in them, though.

Code: [Select]
>>> line = """[tag1:data][tag2][tag3:this is actually massively important]"""
>>> # Want to get ['tag1', 'data', 'tag2', 'tag3', 'this is actually massively important'] from this...
>>> [tag.strip() for tag in line.partition('[')[-1].partition(']')[0].split(':')]
['tag1', 'data']

Hard to test randomplant.py's read function, but I think both fail on quoted brackets:
Code: [Select]
>>> line = """[TILE:0:1:']':'+':'[']"""
>>> # Want to get ['TILE', '0', '1', ']', '+', '[']
>>> [tag.strip() for tag in line.partition('[')[-1].partition(']')[0].split(':')]
['TILE', '0', '1', "'"]
>>> #               ^ captured a quote?

I see what you mean. The first case is easy to fix, the second one turned out to be more complex than what I first thought. Gonna work on that a bit more.

Edit: Slowly getting there, but not quite yet.

Code: [Select]
import re
rule = '\[(.*?)\]'

def open_tag(line):
    return [filter(lambda ch: ch not in "'", tag).strip() for tag in line.strip().split(':')]
   
for line in file:
    tags = [item for item in map(open_tag, re.split(rule, line)) if item[0]]
    if not tags or "[" not in line:
        continue
   
    tags.insert(0, re.findall('^(\t*)', line)[0])
    print tags
