indifferentketchup afea4bbe98 fix: strip leading UTF-8 BOM in parse_mod_info
mod.info files saved by Windows notepad start with a U+FEFF BOM, which
made the first line's `name=` regex miss; affected mods displayed with
empty name (sort still worked because `id=` on subsequent lines parsed
fine, but MOD_DB display name fell back to mod_id). Both copies of
mlos_sort.py updated; existing 23 BOM-affected rows already cleaned in
place from raw_mod_info.

sortof

Project Zomboid mod load-order sorter for dedicated servers. Paste workshop IDs or a collection URL; get back the WorkshopItems=, Mods=, and Map= lines for servertest.ini.

Stack

  • FastAPI + asyncpg, Python 3.12.
  • Postgres 16 (Docker).
  • DepotDownloader for fetching mod.info / map.info from each cached workshop item.
  • Vanilla JSX + index.html, no build step (Babel-standalone in-browser).

Setup

docker compose up -d sortof_db

python3.12 -m venv api/.venv
api/.venv/bin/pip install -r api/requirements.txt

python3.12 -m venv worker/.venv
worker/.venv/bin/pip install -r worker/requirements.txt

.env next to docker-compose.yml:

POSTGRES_USER=sortof
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<random>
POSTGRES_DB=sortof
SORTOF_CORS_ORIGINS=http://127.0.0.1:8801

Set DD_PATH to the DepotDownloader binary, then:

api/.venv/bin/uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8801
worker/.venv/bin/python drain.py

Layout

api/      FastAPI service, sort engine, response adapters
worker/   drain worker (DepotDownloader + mod.info parser)
frontend/ index.html + JSX
init/     Postgres bootstrap migrations (run on first boot)
data/     checked-in JSON config (e.g., pz_versions.json)
docs/     specs, plans
