I need a little help with a metadata change. I have "Anime ABC | Part 1" and "Anime ABC Part 2" as fandoms.

Can I use replace_metadata to capture all fandoms that contain "Anime ABC" and change them to "Anime XYZ"?

Yes. I use this for Elder Scrolls:

Code:

 category=>^.*Elder Scroll.*$=>The Elder Scrolls

Thank you.

Another question. In AO3, the characters often have the fandom attached to their names. Example: Perenelle Flamel (Harry Potter).
Is it possible to automatically delete the (Harry Potter) in the names?
So far I have solved this via replace_metadata and changed each name individually.

I use this, adding fandoms as needed. Note the formatting carefully, it's pretty easy to break it.

Code:

 characters=>\s*(\(Disney\)|\(Elder Scrolls\)|\(Fallout\)|\(How to Train Your Dragon\)|\(Mass Effect\)|\(Redwall\)|\(Skyrim\)|\(Watership Down\))$=>

 characters=>\s*\((Disney|Elder Scrolls|Fallout|How to Train Your Dragon|Mass Effect|Redwall|Skyrim|Watership Down)\)$=>

You can simplify a little bit by moving the escaped '\(' and '\)' outside instead of copying them every time. Makes it slightly less brittle, IMO.

I figured out how to have characters in “&“ ships included while still not tagging them if they’re in “/“ ships and keeping “&” ships in my relationships column, and I’ll post the code tomorrow, but I had to share that I just realized where all of these weird “OOriginal Character(s)” Tags are coming from.

It’s fine. I’m deleting OOC tags, anyway. Once you’re writing fic, IMO the character is your character, and just because they’re different doesn’t mean they’re not in character, but…yeah, I should go in and fix some bracket placement. (It’s seeing OOC and applying the instructions for OC. Which, considering that I have a fair amount of “||” going on in that tag, it’s good to know it works.)

slow_down_sleep_time:x
Is there information somewhere what x means (millisecond, second, minute, other) and when it is triggered (between: each story (for multi-story downloads), each chapter, other)?

defaults.ini

## number of seconds to sleep between calls to the story site. May be
## useful if pulling large numbers of stories or if the site is slow.
## The actual sleep time used on each request is a random number
## between 0.5 and 1.5 times slow_down_sleep_time.
#slow_down_sleep_time:0.5

Thanks. For some reason that never occured to me

I know FFN has been a bitch for a while with cloudflare stuff, so I'm not really expecting a fix, but I want to know if I'm the only one this is happening with...
I've had no real problems downloading FFN stories (since I started loading the new chapter(s) and first chapter of the story manually), but just yesterday FFF has started failing on every single FFN chapter I try to download. I'm getting this "HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache" for every story even though I haven't changed how I've been doing things.
Is this just me, or something new FFN is doing?

Thanks for pointing me in that direction, but I think I figured it out and it was something on my end. I changed some settings with NordVPN and some part of the "Web Protection" was doing something that blocked things. At least that is my assumption since it worked once I turned that off.

ownedbycats · 07-29-2023, 12:28 PM

Ah yeah, VPNs tend to break things. I think Jim was something along the lines of "you're on your own if you use a VPN."

JimmXinu · 07-29-2023, 01:41 PM

Yep.

FYI, I'm going to have limited time online for a couple weeks. Next release will be delayed.
