work in progress, everything is subject to change
d2itemreader is a C library for parsing Diablo II character/stash files (.d2s
, .d2x
, and .sss
) and retrieving data about the items contained inside them. It also tries to avoid any assumptions about the game version or game data, so that it can work with modded files (provided the library is initialized with the relevant modded .txt files on startup).
Most API functions in d2itemreader.h work in the following way:
<struct>_parse
function that takes a pointer to a struct and returns a d2err
enum.D2ERR_OK
, then the function succeeded and the struct will need to be cleaned up using the corresponding _destroy
function.D2ERR_OK
, then the _destroy
function does not need to be called; any allocated memory is cleaned up by the _parse
or _init
function before it returns an error.out_bytesRead
parameter will always be set regardless of the result of the _parse
function. On failure, it will contain the number of bytes read before the error occured.On program startup, you will need to initialize a d2gamedata
struct with the data from some of Diablo II's .txt
files found in its .mpq
archives. For convenience, d2itemreader
bundles the relevant data from the latest .txt
files (1.14d), which can be loaded by calling:
d2gamedata gameData;
d2err err = d2gamedata_init_default(&gameData);
If the d2gamedata_init
function returns D2ERR_OK
, the following function should be called on shutdown (or when you're done using the d2itemreader library):
d2gamedata_destroy(&gameData);
After the d2gamedata_init
function is called, you can parse files like so:
const char *filename = "path/to/file";
// determine the filetype if it is not known in advance
enum d2filetype filetype = d2filetype_of_file(filename);
if (filetype != D2FILETYPE_D2_CHARACTER)
{
fprintf(stderr, "File is not a d2 character file: %s\n", filename);
return;
}
size_t bytesRead;
d2char character;
d2err err = d2char_parse_file(filename, &character, &gameData, &bytesRead);
if (err != D2ERR_OK)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to parse %s: %s at byte 0x%zx\n", filename, d2err_str(err), bytesRead);
// don't need to call d2char_destroy, the memory is cleaned up when _parse returns an error
}
else
{
// do something with the character data
int numUniques = 0;
for (int i=0; i<character.items.count; i++)
{
d2item* item = &character.items.items[i];
if (item->rarity == D2RARITY_UNIQUE)
{
numUniques++;
}
}
printf("Number of unique items in %s: %d", filename, numUniques);
// clean up the memory allocated when parsing the character file
d2char_destroy(&character);
}
