krangler

Python tool to convert .json node pairs into a tree.lua file for Path of Building in the Path of Exile Krangled Passives event.

How to Use

• Install any modern Python (e.g. Anaconda - we only use Pandas and Numpy libraries which should be installed automatically)
• download this repository with git or just click Code > Download ZIP on github
• place your node pair .json file(s) into ./data (to generate these, use krangle-viewer tool)
• download a portable installation of Path of Building
• open your terminal of choice (e.g. Powershell) and navigate to the krangler folder (e.g. cd C:/Users/yourname/Downloads/krangler)
• run python krangler.py
  • If this is the first time running the krangler, you will be prompted to enter the directory where you extracted the portable path of building ([...]/PathOfBuilding-Community/TreeData/3_22).
• the old tree data will be copied to a new file with the current datetime in the file name in [...]/PathOfBuilding-Community/TreeData/3_22 and tree.lua will be replaced with your newly generated tree.
• run Path of Building from the [...]/PathOfBuilding-Community/ folder and your new krangled tree should appear!

Features

• includes list of all nodes in ./data/all_nodes_nothingness.json to null out the ones that haven't been scouted yet
• supports any number of .json files from multiple users
• duplicate nodes (same entry from multiple users) will work
• will warn you when running replace_all_nodes_wrapper() if there are duplicate nodes that conflict with each other (i.e. one node mapped to different new nodes by different users)

Limitations

• skill icons are also krangled (sorry!) due to using some older tree data
• using a base tree.lua file from the beginning of 3.22 patch
• PoB changed the formatting of tree.lua in later releases and I didn't have time to fix my code
• future versions require a rewrite of krangler.py to properly parse nodes instead of doing hacky string editing
