When there's a new WoW build we can automatically update some stuff in ATT repo.

• Check and update GlobalStrings (wow.tools table). Until now, I've been taking it manually from townlong-yak but it seems to be down, possibly forever. Note that wow.tools has a somewhat different version which is curious. Maybe it has something to do with Flags field in the wow.tools table?
• Check ItemSparse and Item tables:
  • Bump MaxItemID.txt file for future harvests.
  • Add all new items to some list for easier inspection. This one is harder because we'll need to check diffs (against the build in LAST_EXPANSION_PATCH in Parser/Framework/Framework.cs). Should also note item renames (which happens a lot during PTR) but is not a big deal.
• Check QuestV2CliTask and QuestV2 for new Quests. QuestV2CliTask only has some quests because its only "Task" quests, meaning world quests and bonus objectives, location bound stuff. Same as items above:
  • Bump MaxQuestID.txt.
  • Add to MissingQuests.lua when the questID is missing in either the form of q(questID or questID=questID in Categories.lua.
• Check Achievement for new Achievements.
  • Add to MissingAchievements.lua when the achievementID is missing in the form of ach(achievementID in Categories.lua.
• Check Factions for new Factions.
  • Add to MissingFactions.lua
• Check TaxiNodes for new Flight Paths.
  • Add to MissingFlightPaths.lua
• Check GarrFollower for new Followers.
  • Add to MissingFollowers.lua when the followerID is missing in the form of follower(followerID in Categories.lua.
• Check TransmogIllusion for new Illusions.
  • Add to MissingIllusions.lua
• Check Mount for new Mounts.
  • Add to MissingMounts.lua
• Check BattlePetSpecies for new Pets.
  • Add to MissingPets.lua
• Check SkillLine for new Professions.
  • Add to MissingRecipes.lua
  • Check SkillLineAbility for each SkillLineID/ProfessionID for new Recipes.
    • Add to MissingRecipes.lua (Note: Make sure the ProfessionID is attached, i.e above like builds).
• Check ItemModifiedAppearance for new sourceIDs.
  • Add to MissingSourceIDs.lua when the sourceID is missing in the form of s(sourceID in Categories.lua.
• Check CharTitles for new Titles.
  • Add to MissingTitles.lua when the titleID (we want MaskID) is missing in the form of title(titleID in Categories.lua.
• Check Toy for new Toys.
  • Add to MissingToys.lua when the itemID is missing in the form of i(itemID in Categories.lua and in form of i(itemID) in ToyDB.lua.
• Bump WoW build in Parser.
• Add an option to pull everything within an interval (or at least the current build/everything option).
• Add an option to exclude IDs.
• Make raw files that are not touched to not generate unecessary data everytime
• Add a sleep timer to not slow down servers for others

Ideally these will be a bunch of short scripts that could be run with a main one. Should be possible to easily add to GitHub Actions as well so you only have to run the job and get a pull request with all changes later.

I would like to have a better way of editing data in general that the Parser utilizes without needing to rebuild the Parser itself. So hopefully can have like a JSON file that gets read by the Parser and uses that data for whatever function.
This would include the different build versions of each game version, so it could be updated and used for Parsing by anyone at any time rather than needing "someone" to have to rebuild and commit the actual Parser itself.

Why QuestV2CliTask? Seems to only be specialized quests. I recommend we change it to QuestV2. Why Item Sparse instead of item?

Because QuestV2CliTask has names. I haven't noticed that it has fewer quests, we can use both.

Why Item Sparse instead of item?

Same reason, only picked that one because it has names. We can use both.

@gbrage

• when the questID is missing in either the form of q(questID or questID=questID in Categories.lua

Why are there two different forms? What is this second one?

@gbrage

• Add an option to pull everything within an interval (or at least the current build/everything option).

Can you be more specific? What does everything mean in this case? I suppose interval here means between two builds?

@gbrage

• Add an option to exclude IDs.

Exclude them from where?

Why are all MissingThings.lua files inside the 00 - Item Database folder? It doesn't make sense, they are not all items.

questID=### would happen if an Item/NPC is directly marked as a quest. Though we are trying to get away from that format and use provider of the Item on the Quest as an actual group. Npcs tagged with Quests will remain.

Maybe Item Database should be renamed to Conditional Data or something that doesn't imply all content relates to Items specifically. Rather than adding a $$$ Database folder for each type of thing.

Updated. Somehow closed it kek
