[gme-users] How to convert .xme to .mga programmatically?

[Larry Howard]

Below is a Python function that demonstrates both dumping to and loading from xme.  As you can see, the MgaDumper and MgaParser are very straightforward.

def PerformUpgrade(path):
 import os, os.path, tempfile
 tmpdpath = tempfile.mkdtemp()
 projectdir  = os.path.split(path)[0]
 projectfile = os.path.split(path)[1]
 newproject  = os.path.join(tmpdpath, projectfile)
 xmefile = os.path.splitext(projectfile)[0] + '.xme'
 xmepath = os.path.join(tmpdpath, xmefile)

 import win32com.client
 import pythoncom

 win32ui.DoWaitCursor(1)
 try:
  project = win32com.client.DispatchEx("Mga.MgaProject")
  project.Open("MGA=" + path)
  dumper = win32com.client.DispatchEx("Mga.MgaDumper")
  dumper.DumpProject(project, xmepath)
  project.Close()
  ...
  project.Create("MGA=" + newproject, "VaNTH")
  parser = win32com.client.DispatchEx("Mga.MgaParser")
  parser.ParseProject(project, xmepath)
  project.Close()
  os.rename(path, path+'.orig')
  os.rename(newproject, path)
  # DisplayMsg("Upgrade successful...")
 except:
  project.Close()
  # DisplayMsg("Upgrading failed...")
