xmm - Xonotic Map Manager - -z- - 03-08-2016
I've spent the past 2-3 days putting together a vision I've had for a while.
![[Image: xmm.gif]](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/z/xonotic-map-manager/master/resources/images/xmm.gif)
example shows searching for a map, installing a package, the listing my locally installed packages.
It works with the http://xonotic.co map repository and enables you to search through the same json that powers that front-end via the command line.
I won't repeat the details of what capabilities are involved, as they are available with the source code found here: https://github.com/z/xonotic-map-manager
Again, this is only a few days work, so expect some changes. I believe it's solid enough to start using, however.
I'm open to feature requests, but there is also a plugin system, so you can extend it yourself!

A stable 0.7.0 release is available, see the release notes here: https://github.com/z/xonotic-map-manager/releases/tag/0.7.0
RE: xmm - Xonotic Map Manager - -z- - 12-22-2016
I'm happy to announce that today Xonotic Map Manager 0.8.0 has been tagged and released.
This release brings a complete overhaul of the underlying code, exposing an underlying API and all sorts of other goodies detailed in the readthedocs - documentation.
xmm is also on pypi, making it my first package I've released there, which is a milestone I've had in my backlog for a few months now.
This targets Linux based systems, code and issue tracker maintained on github.com with a gitlab mirror.
I'm happy to support other system through contributions. Thanks for checking it out!

Awesome! This is mostly for server admins, I assume?

It could be used by end-users who enjoy command-line interfaces, and want to get a better sense of their map collection.
Using the command "discover" for example, one could setup their "target_dir" in "~/.xmm/xmm.ini" to point to "~/.xonotic/data/dlcache" instead of "~/.xonotic/data/". xmm will analyze all the maps in your library and give you more information about them at a glance. With the "--add" flag they would be added to your "~/.xmm/library.json" file which tracks your collection.
To rephrase, "xmm discover --add" finds and inserts any new maps that are known by the repository to a "~/.xmm/library.json" that is referenced and analyzed by other commands.
The discover command works by getting a shasum locally for a pk3 name, and comparing it with the shasum in the repository.
Another handy feature for end users is search.
Code:
xmm search -h
usage: xmm search [-h] [--gametype [GAMETYPE]] [--pk3 [PK3]] [--title [TITLE]]
[--author [AUTHOR]] [--shasum [SHASUM]] [--long] [--short]
[--color]
[string]
positional arguments:
string bsp name found in a package, works on packages with
many bsps
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--gametype [GAMETYPE]
filter by gametype
--pk3 [PK3] filter by pk3 name
--title [TITLE] filter by title
--author [AUTHOR] filter by author
--shasum [SHASUM] filter by shasum
--long, -l show long format
--short, -s show short format
--color, -c highlight search term in resultsYou can do a "deep search" on repositories from the command line and install anything you want to test. If it doesn't work out, it's a simple "xmm remove mapididnotlike.pk3".

Good job. It's not something I personally would have a lot of use for but it looks very well made. Nice work!
