Merging a SDVX music_db.xml into seeds

We have a script that already exists for parsing a music_db.xml file and merging it with the database seeds. This is convenient for when you want to provide an update for SDVX based off of data you have.

Important

You need to have a working setup of Tachi to use this script.

For instructions on how to do that, see Tachi Setup.

How to use

Navigate to database-seeds/scripts/rerunners/sdvx.

The file you're looking to run is merge-mdb.ts, but it needs two arguments:

• --input, which is the location of the music_db.xml file you're looking to parse.
• --version, what version of the game this music db is from. For a list of versions, see the SDVX Config.

You can run this script by typing ts-node merge-mdb.ts --input YOUR_INPUT_HERE --version YOUR_VERSION_HERE in the terminal.

Tip

Make sure you have ts-node installed. If you don't, you can get it with pnpm add -g ts-node.
