Cleaning/optimizing Code

[JoshDB 0]

Hey guys, just wanted to know if there was a better way of doing what I'm trying to achieve. This is a launcher for a total conversion mod for the game TES: IV Oblivion.

First, Install.exe is launched, which unpacks the appropriate files. It then moves exe's around to ensure that when you're playing the TC, you get the TC files; When you play Oblivion, you get the Oblivion files.

#include "Zip.au3"

DirCreate(@WorkingDir & "\DawnFiles")

FileInstall("C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Dawn\Dist\DawnInstallPackage.zip",@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\DawnInstallPackage.zip")
FileInstall("XZip.dll","XZip.dll")
_ZipOpen(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\DawnInstallPackage.zip")
_ZipUnpack(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles")
_ZipClose()
FileDelete(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\DawnInstallPackage.zip")

FileMove("OblivionLauncher.exe","OblivionLauncher_Original.exe")
FileInstall("OblivionLauncher_Patched.exe","OblivionLauncher.exe")
FileInstall("Dawn.exe","Dawn.exe")
FileInstall("DawnIcon.ico","DawnIcon.ico")
FileInstall("OblivionIcon.ico","OblivionIcon.ico")

FileCreateShortcut(@WorkingDir & "\Dawn.exe",@DesktopDir & "\Dawn.lnk",@WorkingDir,"", "Dawn: A Red Sun Rises", @WorkingDir & "\DawnIcon.ico")

Whenever Dawn is launched from the desktop, this code runs:

expandcollapse popup

If NOT FileExists(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles") Then
    CleanDirectory()
    If FileExists(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles") Then
        PrepareFiles()
    EndIf
EndIf

Func PrepareFiles()
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Meshes",@WorkingDir & "\Data",1)
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Textures",@WorkingDir & "\Data",1)
    FileMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Dawn.esp",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Dawn.esp",1)
    DirRemove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles")
EndFunc

Func CleanDirectory()
    DirCreate(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles")
    
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Meshes",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Meshes")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Textures",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Textures")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Menus",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Menus")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Sound",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Sound")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Method A",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Method A")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Method B",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Method B")
    
    BackupType(".esp")
    BackupType(".esm")
    BackupType(".nif")
    BackupType(".txt")
    BackupType(".cfg")
    BackupType(".exe")
EndFunc

Func BackupType($Type = ".esp")
    $Files = FileFindFirstFile("Data\*" & $Type)
    
    If $Files = -1 Then
    Else
        $Count = IniRead(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index","Master",0)
        
        While 1
            $Count = $Count + 1
            $CurrentFile = FileFindNextFile($Files) 
            If @error Then ExitLoop
            
            IniWrite(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index","Master",IniRead(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index","Master",0) + 1)
            IniWrite(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index",$Count & "a",@WorkingDir & "\Data\" & $CurrentFile)
            IniWrite(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index",$Count & "b",@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\" & $CurrentFile)
            
            FileMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\" & $CurrentFile,@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\" & $CurrentFile)
        WEnd
    EndIf
    
    FileClose($Files)
EndFunc

Run("Oblivion.exe")

Whenever Oblivion is launched from the desktop, this code runs:

If FileExists(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles") Then
    If NOT FileExists(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles") Then
        CleanFiles()
    EndIf
    ReturnDirectory()
EndIf

Func CleanFiles()
    DirCreate(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles")
    FileMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Dawn.esp",@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Dawn.esp")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Meshes",@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Meshes")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\Textures",@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Textures")
EndFunc

Func ReturnDirectory()
    $LoopCount = IniRead(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index","Master",0)
    
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Meshes",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Meshes")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Textures",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Textures")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Menus",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Menus")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Sound",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Sound")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Method A",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Method A")
    DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\Method B",@WorkingDir & "\Data\Method B")
    
    For $LoopNumber = 0 To $LoopCount
        FileMove(IniRead(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index",$LoopNumber & "b",0),IniRead(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\BackupIndex.ini","Index",$LoopNumber & "a",0))
    Next
    
    $BackupSize = DirGetSize(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\")
    
    If Round($BackupSize / 1024) < 150 Then 
        DirRemove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\OriginalFiles\",1)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Run("OblivionLauncher_Original.exe")

This all runs great, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Bueller? Bueller? Some other posts get instant replies maybe this one is too much like hard work

quick observation...

the iniwrite files look "over-done", same with moving all of the files, however there could be reasoning for doing this

and... this doesnt look correct

Func PrepareFiles()

DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Meshes",@WorkingDir & "\Data",1)

DirMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Textures",@WorkingDir & "\Data",1)

FileMove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles\Dawn.esp",@WorkingDir & "\Data",1)

DirRemove(@WorkingDir & "\Data\DawnFiles")

EndFunc

the destination does not have a file extention...ie ".esp".. OR a closing folder slash.. "\"

This script moves almost everything in C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data to Data\OriginalFiles, and moves the contents of Data\DawnFiles to Data. The IniWrites are basically a way of tabbing which files have been moved, and where to put them back whenever they're restored.

Thanks for catching that filemove, I think I just copied the previous commands and then changed the first param
