This package is a command line tool that provides the capability of comparing two directories and outputs files with differences between them, including: missing Files, missing Folders and missing Tags of .xml files. It was made to help RimWorld's community translators(1) to know what was modified on the last XML updates and to let them keep in track of what they need to add/remove from what has been done.

(1) and maybe other indie games that uses XML

$ go get github.com/XML-Comp/XML-Comp

$ XML-Comp -original /path/to/language/english -translation /path/to/language/translation

You need two paths that we call "original" & "translation", which are described bellow:

• "original": Full path directory of your RimWorld English folder
• "translation": Full path directory of your RimWorld Language folder cloned from GitHub

My "original" path: /Users/arthur/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldMac.app/Mods/Core/Languages/English

My "translation" path: /Users/arthur/Github/RimWorld-PortugueseBrazilian

With these paths in hand you run our program and It will let you know in a missingSomethieng.txt file what is missing and where in your translation! That simple!

To compare any kind of files, all you need is to use the flag -doc <type name>, eg -doc html. This will use the paths that you gave only to compare the specified type of document. Another example:

$ XML-Comp -doc html -original path/to/It -translation path/to/It

OBS: This is not required, by default It's comparing all .xml files that are encountered.

$ git clone github.com/XML-Comp/xml-comp
$ cd xml-comp
$ go install
$ xml-comp help

1- Import the package

import "github.com/XML-Comp/XML-Comp/comparer"

2- Set document type variable to the desired document

// without the "." | eg: "xml" or "html"
comparer.DocType = "desired docType"

3- Start the main function with the full paths to compare

// the firstPath is always what will be used as model
comparer.Compare(firstPath, comparingPath)
