Script request thread

I need apgsearch for windows precompiled to search xfactorio/C1, xfactorio/D8_1, B3S23/D8_1, and B3S23/Pseudo-C1.

I'd say it would be better to investigate the problem to understand why you cannot compile apgsearch for yourself, instead of having to distribute lots of binaries for different rulesym combinations.

Did you look through Tutorials/Contributing to Catagolue / try the steps listed there?

I need apgsearch for windows precompiled to search xfactorio/C1, xfactorio/D8_1, B3S23/D8_1, and B3S23/Pseudo-C1.

I built Windows executables of apgluxe for B3/S23 for all standard symmetries some years ago, but they should still work well. You can find them here.

For the other requests:
a) what is Pseudo-C1?
b) I no longer have the environment I used to build them, so I can't help your other requests
c) I agree with confocaloid - If you're interested in running CA search programs then you would be a lot better off investing a bit of time in setting up your own build environment. I find WSL a very convenient way to do this on Windows. It does take a while to get used to the Linux command line but it's well worth it. I posted a minimal set of instructions for someone else (RE ikpx2 which requires Lifelib) which you can use to get up and searching.

If pseudo_C1 was referring to this, then it requires the python script apgsearch(requires python 2 and golly 3.3 or before). You should be able to find it on the forums. Then I’m pretty sure you can modify a settings that contains the substring “pseudo” in it; there’s a few places where you will need to modify the script so that it allows the symmetry specified, and that’s it.
Edit: maybe this can be done in newer versions with another approach, I am not sure.

How about a script that can "identify" one-dimensional replicators, much like oscar.lua? We have a big enough sample size in the form of the 1D replicator collection zip, and it'd come in handy for some recent automated search jobs that have provided far too many results to be raked through manually.
