Improving ability to add new stratagems from updates

[tyvsmith]

First, thanks for this project. As a HD player on linux, with a stream deck, I've been using this a while. However, I've noticed it lags behind with updates from the game, which, of course, is expected for a part-time open-source project.

So what's your current process to scrape the icons and stratagems info to add updates here? Is there a script that could be automated to make it easy for folks to run this against an installed HD instance and send PRs?

I came here to write a similar issue.

I'm going to update the plugin for myself. I already did it in a quick and dirty test before the Python Command warbond was released and it worked well. I plan to create a script to retrieve the stratagems (images, codes, names) from the Helldivers Wiki on wiki.gg, as I think it's the most updated one for now.

I would create a PR soon. Though, I wanted to clarify some things with the maintainer:

• I would use the bare icons from helldivers.wiki.gg. They are not decorated, like the ones in the original plugin, but this source also doesn't seem to get updated. IMO, the best bet to keep it up to date, is to use a stable source, like that wiki.
• How should the labels for the buttons be built? Rather shortened common names, or official but without the model names, like "Machine Gun", without "MG-43". Any idea about how to wrap the words, eg. "bottom > mid > top" or "top > mid > bottom".
• Would it be fine to overwrite the existing keys with new ones, which are automatically created from the information on that website? This would make the process easier to automate. Otherwise it's a bit of a process to check, what's there already, what must not be touched etc. For consistency, I would update all icons though.
• Would any type of sorting / grouping of the keys in the JSON files make sense? I didn't check the code, whether any sorting is applied. I won't touch the code at all, as it's not necessary.

For Super Earth!

#14

I have made an extensive overhaul, to dynamically pull the stratagems, their names, and codes, from wiki.gg, and pull the svg icons from a repo that is being maintained.

Button icons are now dynamically generated by an update module/script to add the rounded corners border, and to set custom color changes to appear more color correct on a Stream Deck.

This should make it significantly easier for others to open a PR that I can just "trust" and merge. I have also provided an AGENTS.md file for Generative AI to understand how to use the update script, and how to generate reasonable labels from the start. However, everything is configurable in config.py.

Please give this a test and we can get this merged and pushed out.
