• Order of appearence? Currently it's 'WAR3', 'W3XP', 'STAR', 'SEXP', 'W2BN', 'DRTL', 'D2XP', 'D2DV'. Newer versions are below, opposite to .conf
• Key names/order?

You will add newer versions manually, right?

[RElesgoe]

W2BN should be next to W3XP. Can you reverse the order so that the newest versions are at the top instead of oldest.

[xpeh-owns]

Can you reverse the order so that the newest versions are at the top instead of oldest.

But why?
Your proposition of tag order?

[RElesgoe]

It's quicker to manually insert new entries at the top.

Since WarCraft 2 and WarCraft 3 are the same series, they should be next to each other.

[xpeh-owns]

It's quicker to manually insert new entries at the top.

If you mean...
So please the whole clienttag order.

[RElesgoe]

What I mean is that the objects in each array should be sorted so that the newest versions are at the top (e.g. 1.16.1 at the top for STAR and SEXP).
The order of clients should be WAR3, W3XP, W2BN, STAR, SEXP, DRTL, D2XP, D2DV.

What I mean is that the objects in each array should be sorted so that the newest versions are at the top (e.g. 1.16.1 at the top for STAR and SEXP).

Yes, I've got it.

[xpeh-owns]

Why is there no Mac versions? I've got versioncheck from your rep.

[RElesgoe]

People never submitted versioncheck entries for Mac clients.

[xpeh-owns]

Surely they exist somewhere, probably even on harpywar forum.
So do you need json-conf converter? Even if you use json in your server original pvpgn still can't do it.

[RElesgoe]

A converter script would be nice, it could be placed in the scripts directory in this repository. Just make a pull request for it.

[xpeh-owns]

I already made one :) This json is produced with a script with no edits after.

[xpeh-owns]

So how to upload them? Never had worked with git and github :)

[RElesgoe]

Just make another Gist and I'll upload it.

[xpeh-owns]

I'll probably have to commit something else in the future. Would be better if I commit.

[RElesgoe]

Can you modify your script to output tabs instead of spaces.
Before "WAR3": [ should be a single tab. Before { should be 2 tabs. Before "title", "architecture", etc. should be 3 tabs.

[RElesgoe]

@xpeh-owns I need the file to be modified like so:

                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

[RElesgoe]

New format:

{  
    "WAR3":{  
		"IX86":{  
			"0x1c":{  
				"checkrevision_file":"ver-IX86-1.mpq",
				"equation":"A=1239576727 C=1604096186 B=4198521212 4 A=A+S B=B-C C=C^A A=A+B",

					{

						"versiontag":"WAR3_128"
					}
				]
			},
			"0x1b":{  
				"checkrevision_file":"ver-IX86-1.mpq",
				"equation":"B=454282227 C=2370009462 A=2264812340 4 A=A^S B=B-C C=C-A A=A+B",
				"entries":[  
					{  
						"title":"Warcraft III - ROC 1.27b",
						"version":"1.27.1.173",
						"hash":"0x4026b5b0",
						"file_metadata":"War3.exe 12/09/16 06:05:09 515048",
						"versiontag":"WAR3_127B"
					}
				]
			}
		},
		"XMAC":{
		}
    }
}

I considered moving checkrevision_file and equation under the architecture objects, but it would be too time consuming to go back and update every entry.
