Heroes Convert (Heroes of the Storm)
====================================

[](#heroes-convert-heroes-of-the-storm)

File format conversions from HeroesDataParser to heroes-talents

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Clone or download the latest source from the repo: [heroes-convert](https://github.com/tattersoftware/heroes-convert)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**heroes-convert** takes [Heroes of the Storm](https://heroesofthestorm.com) game data parsed and extracted by [HeroesDataParser](https://github.com/HeroesToolChest/HeroesDataParser)and simplifies it and reformats it for [heroes-talents](https://github.com/heroespatchnotes/heroes-talents).

### Gamedata

[](#gamedata)

In order to use `data-convert` you must already have the extracted game data. The easiest way to acquire the data is from [heroes-data](https://github.com/HeroesToolChest/heroes-data), a repo of pre-parsed game data from HeroesDataParser.

In the **src** folder there is an executable script, `data-convert`. This script takes as a parameter the path to the herodata patch:

```
./data-convert /path/to/heroes-data/heroesdata/2.49.1.77662

```

You may supply an optional third parameter for an output directory, or it will default to the current directory in the **hero** subfolder.

### Images

[](#images)

In addition to the JSON data files, talent icons can be converted to their **heroes-talents**equivalent with the `images-convert` command. You must already have the extracted image data, for example from [heroes-images](https://github.com/HeroesToolChest/heroes-images). Additionally you need [ImageMagick](https://imagemagick.org) installed to do the conversion, and a bulk `rename` command to remove apostrophes (included with most Linux distros; macOS [see here](https://devhints.io/rename)).

The executable script takes the **abilitytalents** directory as a parameter:

```
./images-convert /path/to/heroes-images/heroesimages/abilitytalents

```

You may supply an optional second parameter for an output directory, or it will default to the current directory in the **talents** subfolder.
