Not the original anon who made it, but I updated the drawr script. I'm not a coder, so expect a lot of shittiness and bugs. Please do report any errors or mistakes.
https://www99.zippyshare.com/v/ms76bXMY/file.htmlwhat's new:
scrape.py = Updated it so that it grabs all the gz files (it used to only download the first one) plus the xml file (important for offline playback)
xml_proc.py = A new script for processing the files created by
scrape.py. This script will process the xml files and generate shortcuts for video playback. Opening the shortcut will instantly play the video in a flash projector. No more awkward manual setup!
In order to use it, you need to first open the script in a notepad and find this line:
flashdir = "C:/path/to/flashplayer_32_sa.exe"
Replace the directory with the directory to your actual flash projector executable.
Note: When you run the script and it asks you for a directory, don't enter the directory with a backslash in the end and don't put quotes around the directory (yeah I know, shitty.)
xml_reset.py = Reverses the changes done by xml_proc.py
Useful if you're moving the directory, since the shortcuts are hardcoded.
Note that playback is not 100% guaranteed, there are a few edge cases where offline playback is simply not yet possible, usually caused by file corruption, reposts or other esoteric functionalities. This is especially true for older drawings.
But it should work for like 80% of the time.
And yeah, I know that ArchiveTeam is already on the process of archiving, but this is just in case of a worst case scenario.
Do make some personal backups with these tools!
