wad-archive

Python wrapper for WAD Archive internet archive dump

branch 'zipped archives'

Contains code for accessing data from the double-zipped large archive files. I don't really want to maintain code that both handles the unzipped and the zipped archive. I will branch off from master again to have a clean branch that contains code that handles the UNZIPPED large archive

Summary

A read-only wrapper for the WAD Archive data dump from 2022. Details of this can be found in this Doomworld thread.

TODO:

  • convert list to navigation, that opens apage displaying map, screenshots and a download link, and readme/IDGames readme if found.
  • in LH list, highlight the selected entry
  • catch and alert if archive is not found
  • TEST UNC path!!

NFS

https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs-python - this one? https://pypi.org/project/pyNfsClient/

or, mount an NFS share? https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-mount-an-nfs-share-in-linux/ in venv...

sudo apt install nfs-common sudo mkdir /var/wad-archive-mount sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.20://mnt/USB/USB1_c2/wad-archive-dump /var/wad-archive-mount

The above will temporarily mount until next reboot. IMPORTANT! Your NAS needs to export an NFS share
