xmlTools feature request: conditions-based replace command

[Paradox-01]

Sometimes the replace command is not precise enough.

We had two incidents where it would be useful to have a more powerful version of that command.

1) Incoming from the ​wiki. (Changing content in object collection(s).)
2) And ticket:41. (Changing content in ONGS.)

There are probably many more situations you can think of, like in particle where you can have multiple emitter, etc.

@ReplaceValueInSection Section "name" ParentTag "name" Tag "tame" ConditionParentTag "name" ConditionTag "name" ConditionValue "name/value"

Note 1: Section is here just another word for GrandparentTag.
Note 2: Maybe the ConditionValue should also allow for a "*" to replace any old content.

---

Using the examples again, that's how I imagine the solution for ...

Example 1

@ReplaceValueInSection Section "CHAR" ParentTag "Scripts" Tag "Spawn" ConditionParentTag "OSD" ConditionTag "Flags" ConditionValue "IsPlayer"

<xml>
  <Spawn>load_prone_mode_logic</Spawn>
</xml>

Example 2

@ReplaceValueInSection Section "AutoPrompts" ParentTag "ONGSAutoPrompt" Tag "LastAutopromptLevel" ConditionParentTag "ONGSAutoPrompt" ConditionTag "SubtitleName" ConditionValue "autoprompt_weapon"

<xml>
   <LastAutopromptLevel>19</LastAutopromptLevel>
</xml> 

Is that feature desirable and possible to create?

.. edit test ..

In Example 2 I made mistakes.

I wanted to write:

@ReplaceValueInSection Section "AutoPrompts" ParentTag "ONGSAutoPrompt" Tag "LastAutopromptLevel" ConditionParentTag "ONGSAutoPrompt" ConditionTag "SubtitleName" ConditionValue "autoprompt_weapon"

<xml>
   <LastAutopromptLevel>19</LastAutopromptLevel>
</xml> 

(Tickets can't be edited??)

You have to click on the Modify Ticket section to expand it in order to edit the original ticket. I've carried over your change.

To be honest, that sample syntax makes me want to shoot myself in the head, although XmlTools' existing syntax is almost as bad sometimes :-)

There's a whole can of worms that I could open here about the additional need for 'for' loops and variables in order to make some patch mods possible. I think I'll open a new ticket for that so that s10k can reply to this on its own if he desires, but I encourage everyone to take a higher-level look at what we're trying to do here rather than shoe-horning increasingly complex concepts into a linear, very unreadable and fragmented grammar. That higher-level look will be in a new ticket shortly.

If I haven't learned English by now I will never.

When I click on "Modify Ticket" I still don't see where to edit the text.

Try again :-) I just tried to enable that right for regular users; I hadn't realized it was only showing up for me as an admin.

Ok thanks, edits work now.
