[Beta] Python script to fix block-id collisions

[wassname]

What is it?

This is a python script that looks at all the files in your tekkit config directory and find and resolved block-id issues. It does this by finding lines that start with a "I:" or "B:" that have numbers between 159 and 4096. It makes a note of collisions and you can set it to auto-resolve them but it might get it wrong.

It worked for me... but it set some of my dimensional door values too high and I had to manually change them. Still... it saved me a lot of time, and might be useful to someone who knows python or deals with block-id collisions lots.

How to use?

0. Download the file from the pastebin link http://pastebin.com/Z8at076h

1 Make sure python is installed (with numpy).

2 Make a backup of your config file.

3 Put the file in your .mincraft or .techniclauncher\tekkit directory (1 above the config directory)

4 run it

5 It will ask you to confirm each fix by typing y and enter

6 Try running tekkit and fix any more problems.

Certainly going to be trying this once I have access to my gaming rig. Currently on vacation.

Does it require Python 2.7 or 3.x?

2.7

Something to note that is not stated in the OP is that you need the module NumPy, so you need to have it either manually installed or have some form of SciPy.

Oh yeah sorry that's right I used numpy to sort a list, mayby someone knows an easier way to do this.

If you are on windows and want scipy you can get it here http://www.scipy.org/install.html

If you guys give it a try I would love to hear comments/feedback.

Python 3.3 seems to have modified the syntax some. Print calls now need to be encapsulated in (parentheses), and there's something funky with what you're asking the lambda function in the definition "ranges(i)" as it doesn't know what y is.
