@JohnFromGWN Yes it works from anything that can make web requests! This an api in openapi format, you can even use some get requests directly from the browser. Enjoy! :)

@Alex94 I still have to learn about this but if codewalker.core has a solution for this we can reuse that because the API is dependent on it. We will give a flag 'secure' to the import-files endpoint and do it that way. I created a github issue for it.

@flobros Hi and thanks for the reply. From my first comment here, I was not able to proceed with commands using CMD.
Content root path: C:\Users\J2020\Desktop\5af8ad-CodeWalker.API
info: Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime[0]
The complete initialization messages are in my first message, the last is above. At that point i could no longer enter anything and had to control c it shut. I was however able to run my request on the localhost using the swagger UI web interface. Now a second however - the request only searched my mods folder, unlike OpenIV and RPF Explorer do both the mods and the game. My setup is unique, im sure of it, because I don't use dlcpacks. My dlc is in the root folder. Also, I have multiple mod folders for the same game to support massive mods such as LCCP. The current API ignores these.

@JohnFromGWN Oh yes that is correct, you have to use the SwaggerUI to make requests, use curl, a browser or similar. Sending the requests inside the same window is not possible. For the searches however that it is not finding the files that Codewalkers RPF Explorer does is a bit weird because it fully reuses dexy's code. Maybe you have a custom gta v directory or maybe something else goes wrong. Traversing the RPF archives only happens upon searching. SwaggerUI was added to support developers, other UI elements won't be added in this repository because Codewalker does this perfectly. If you want to use this for mapping reasons, try out the 'codewalker sollumz bridge' it's a blender plugin which has search, import and export ui elements which reuses this API.

@flobros Thanks. This is a great tool. Just need to find the right application for it.

Please add replace files inside rpf files...

@michalss replace-file is available on newest github release

Is there a way to specify the directory within the RPF when replacing files or are you planning on implementing automatic detection? Says it matches internal file with a new local file but it will not replace anything located outside of the first directory.

@nixx3 search returns a location of a RPF file, so you could automate it. First search, then replace based on the path(s) it returns to the file you want to replace. I think it's more solid than auto replacing based on filename only, that's vulnerable to mistakes.

@nixx3 eg, /api/search-file?filename=prop_alien_egg_01 returns ["x64c.rpf\\levels\\gta5\\props\\lev_des\\lev_des.rpf\\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr"] then send your replace request with that info.

@flobros I searched prop_alien_egg_01 and it came back "x64c.rpf\\levels\\gta5\\props\\lev_des\\lev_des.rpf\\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr", I went to Download and it successfully output prop_alien_egg_01.ydr in "C:\GTA_FILES\cw_out".

Then I entered the output following into Replace but it returns 'RPF archive does not exist at given path.':

x64c.rpf\levels\gta5\props\lev_des\lev_des.rpf\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr
C:\GTA_FILES\cw_out\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr

I've tried using both absolute and relative paths for x64c.rpf, adding/removing quotations, double blackslashes, etc., but still having no luck.

@nixx3 Ah you're right it's a bit confusing how this works, i will add some documentation and maybe some alternative way of sending payloads as JSON next to webform. In the file https://github.com/flobros/CodeWalker.API/blob/master/CodeWalker.API.http you can see the correct structure, there's maybe some helpers around for your code to transform your requests to webform format.

@flobros I also couldn't make subdirectories work when using replace-file, commented on my issue thread on Github, here is the link incase of you missed: https://github.com/flobros/CodeWalker.API/issues/2#issuecomment-2769867459

@nixx3 You were right there was an error, it's been fixed, json support is also added and examples are in there.
@Wolfenk we can now import with xml=false flag which makes you be able to import xml files at any destination. in upcoming releases we'll add endpoints to crud directories as well.

Release is available on github, pending here.

cheers!

@flobros Still can't get replace to work according to your JSON example in the source, it fails to replace outside of the main directory:

{
"rpfFilePath": "mods/new.rpf/test",
"localFilePath": "C:\\GTA_FILES\\cw_out\\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr"
}

Returns 'Failed to resolve RPF path: Entry not found or not a valid target: null', but the following JSON works fine:

{
"rpfFilePath": "mods/new.rpf",
"localFilePath": "C:\\GTA_FILES\\cw_out\\prop_alien_egg_01.ydr"
}

prop_alien_egg_01.ydr exists in both the main directory and within the test folder so it's definitely not a case of the file not existing.

I got the same results as @nixx3 did on v1.1.0.

The console stopped starting, is this normal?

What does this do?
