- produce the results as a tab separated values file
- upload the results to PCTB
-To run it, change to this directory, type `make', and then:
- ./ypp-commodities
-to upload to the PCTB server. Currently we use pctb.ilk.org,
-the testing instance of the PCTB database, pending approval from the
-operators of the main server.
+To build, install the dependencies, cd to this directory and type `make'.
+
+To screenscrape and upload to the PCTB server, select `trade
+commodities' from the hold of a vessel or building, and run:
+ ./ypp-commodities
+Currently we use pctb.ilk.org, the testing instance of the PCTB
+database, pending approval from the operators of the main server.
Or, for example, for a tab-separated values dump:
- ./ypp-commodities --tsv >commods.tsv
+ ./ypp-commodities --tsv >commods.tsv
While it is capturing the screenshots, do not move the mouse or use
the keyboard. Keyboard focus must stay in the YPP client window.
+If you use Gnome or KDE you must raise the YPP client window so that
+it is completely unobscured - the ypp-commodities program tries to do
+this but metacity and kwin do not honour the request.
