# (FTE-)QuakeC Hash Table Generator
|
|
|
|
`QCHashTableGenerator` is a simple utility designed to take in `.CSV` input files and generate an FTEQCC-compilable hash table structure, hashed using XMODEM CRC16. The overall goal is to ease compute time by mitigating the overall amount of string comparisons your QuakeC project may perform.
|
|
|
|
It makes the assumption that the first value in your input `.CSV` is the value you want to hash. Given this example, `old_path` will be replaced with a generated hash:
|
|
|
|
```csv
|
|
old_path,current_path
|
|
progs/player.mdl,models/player.mdl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Producing output similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
var struct {
|
|
float old_path_crc;
|
|
string current_path;
|
|
float crc_strlen;
|
|
} struct_name[] = {
|
|
{63799, "models/player.mdl", 16} // progs/player.mdl
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The output is sorted in ascending order, by the hashed strings, so it will be easy to use in a binary search.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the `crc_strlen` field is for the develoepr to, if they deem necessary, perform a `strlen` check on their input string and compare it with the provided `crc_strlen` in an effort to detect hash collisions.
|
|
|
|
## Installation & Usage
|
|
|
|
`QCHashTableGenerator` is designed to support python 3.7 and above. The following modules are required to run the generator:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
colorama==0.4.6
|
|
fastcrc==0.3.0
|
|
pandas==2.1.4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
They can be installed automatically with `pip -r requirements.txt`.
|
|
|
|
`qc_hash_generator.py --help` will give you a list of arguments to use to generate your QuakeC source file. But to just get off the ground, `qc_hash_generator.py -i some.csv` is all you will need. |
