rename_ships.pl not return output

[visibleunderwater]

no output, just sits for a few seconds: perl rename_ships.pl --p Heaven --type "Hulk Huge" --format SUPPLY

--dry run 1 gives output of:

Did not provide a config file at rename_ships.pl line 72.

This isn't in the GETOPTIONS or after the END description...and:

perl rename_ships.pl lacuna.yml --p Heaven --type "Hulk Huge" --format SUPPLY --dry-run 1

returned nothing again, and no ships where renamed. I've updated rename_ships.pl to the most current posted version. Please help, [email protected] CELESTIAL EMPIRE [UNSC]

Quick glance: A) Don't put a 1 after --dry-run. It's thinking the 1 is the config file B) for type, you would use hulk_huge, not "Hulk Huge"; However, see note C C) This program hasn't been updated since March 2011. (just double checked and it did work for hulk_huge.

I think this is how you should call it:

perl rename_ships.pl --p Heaven --type "hulk_huge" --format SUPPLY -- lacuna.yml

You wouldn't need to specify a config file if you stored it as login.yml where File::HomeDir->my_dist_config('Games-Lacuna-Client') would find it.

Run this to find, or create the directory

perl -MFile::HomeDir -E 'say File::HomeDir->my_dist_config(q[Games-Lacuna-Client],{create=>1})'

Open the directory and create a file named login.yml there.

with the following contents

api_key: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
empire_name: your empire name
empire_password: your sitter password
server_uri: https://us1.lacunaexpanse.com

I haven't touched it since I created it so not all of the meta type selection, and formatting options work on newer ship types.
That is also assuming that the API didn't change in the meantime.
