  • Show HN: Rust nom parsing Starcraft2 Replays into Arrow for Polars data analysis
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Oct 2023
    Thanks for sharing, very inspiring. I love Rust for parsing video game replays / save files. I've authored a Rocket League replay parser (boxcars) and an entire suite of web visualizations (via Webassembly) for EU4 called pdx.tools https://pdx.tools

    It's not easy to work with proprietary formats, but they've both become pretty popular, so I would 100% recommend sinking more time into this project as long as it scratches your itch. Gamers are always looking for more stats and deeper insights

  • Nation Explorer - browse national ideas directly from the game files (early test release)

    I'm not sure though how many people would like to download an application just for this purpose. While this feature has indeed not been implemented by any other tool, you can find other web-based ones like https://eu4.osallek.net/wiki/1.35.3/idea-groups for ideas and https://pdx.tools for general analysis with more diverse features.
  • 1.35 trading favors bug? (question)

    I dropped one of the saves into pdx.tools & it doesnt show domination in the list of DLCs, so exiting europa somehow removed the DLC from the save. :(
    2 projects | /r/eu4 | 24 Apr 2023
    Though I think the DLCs are the most likely cause if the message contains the extra line bout DLCs. It doesn't have to be you who toggled the DLCs. Maybe your alt+f4 broke a DLC or prevented the game from properly recording the activated DLCs in the save. And for DLCs, it is very likely that the game compares the DLC list in the save with the list of active DLCs. If you get that message, you can create a new ironman save and then melt both saves(e.g. with pdx.tools) and compare the DLC list to see if they differ.
  • EU4 project development!

    Some other things which your site does are similar to the save game analyzers skanderbeg and pdx.tools. pdx tools is open source and programmed in typescript and rust. You could contribute there if you have ideas for things which require a more dynamic site which would not work on the wiki.

    Assuming you downloaded from pdx.tools (the site I linked in my r5), you should be able to open it through EU4 by moving it in your eu4 save folder.

    yes, I downloaded it for pdx.tools but it doesn't seem to show in EU4 saved games.
  • Broken savegame, all subjects are gone, game crashes after a few ingame days
    2 projects | /r/eu4 | 26 Jul 2022
    The tools that I know about are: pdx.tools (formerly rakaly. to de-ironman, select your ironman save, let it be analyzed and then click on the "i" icon on the right and then on "Melt" in the top-right corner), Pdx-Unlimiter, skanderbeg, paperman (give it your eu4.exe to update the converter for your game version), a trick to make eu4 convert the save game, ironmelt(defunct). They are somewhat ordered by how good they work with the current game version.

    And for a few years, there have been tools which can melt the eu4 versions which they support without losing any data: pdx.tools (formerly rakaly. to de-ironman, select your ironman save, let it be analyzed and then click on the "i" icon on the right and then on "Melt" in the top-right corner), Pdx-Unlimiter, skanderbeg and paperman (give it your eu4.exe to update the converter for your game version)

  • [Media] I made a website to demonstrate performance difference in fractal rendering with JS, rust-wasm, rust-wasm + SIMDs, rust-wasm + SIMDs + multithreading

    But, as I said in top branch, I have updated JS code, trying to follow u/Kulinda optimization recommendations.

    edit Oh, it looks like the program spawns workers in typescript. Has anyone had any luck spawning workers from rust?

    I tried to implement your recommendations and got strange results: in Firefox JS performance increased by 2 times, but in Chrome - by 10 times. I don't know why tbh.

    There you can select different drawing techniques, count of used threads and fractal's iterations count.The rendered fractal is Newton's fractal. I chose it inspired by 3blue1brown's video about these fractals.I'm still newbie in rust, so my code can be bad.Source link: https://github.com/alordash/newton-fractalP.S. Huge thanks to people in rust community discord server who helped me!
