#466 Wish History

If someone needs to get history easily on Linux without manually opening data_2, here's a Bash script

#!/bin/bash

GIPATH=$(ps aux | grep -a -Po 'Z:.+GenshinImpact.exe' | head -1 | sed -e 's/Z://' | sed -e 's/GenshinImpact.exe//' | tr '\\' '/' | sed s/'\W*$'//)
CACHEDIR=$GIPATH/GenshinImpact_Data/webCaches
CACHEDIR=$CACHEDIR/$(ls -t "$CACHEDIR" | grep -a -Po "\d+.\d+.\d+.\d" | head -1)
CACHEFILE=$CACHEDIR/Cache/Cache_Data/data_2

cat "$CACHEFILE" | grep -a -Po '(https:\/\/gs\.hoyoverse\.com\/genshin\/event\/e20190909gacha-v2.+?hk4e_global)\W' | tail -n 1

Or like this wget -qO - https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Cha14ka/f7fdd14515b909c7541ebf55ae44b51d/raw/3b905b1157bd1bce630ea9298deb49bac1a55599/gi_history.sh | bash

I made a helper app for this too. I still commit to it on occasion.

There is also a minimal variant mentioned in FAQ.md. Whereas both scripts work, it would be more reliable to also check against the timestamp within the URL.

Here's the next iteration I've come up for OS + CN without relying on Z:\ paths by using pwdx:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
GIPATH="."

function get_path_from_pid() {
	# tee eats the status value
	_pid=$(pgrep -f -- "GenshinImpact.exe" | tee)
	if [ -z "$_pid" ]; then
		_pid=$(pgrep -f -- "YuanShen.exe" | tee)
	fi
	[ -z "$_pid" ] && echo "Game process not found" && exit 1
	GIPATH=$(pwdx "$_pid")
	GIPATH=${GIPATH#*\ } # remove leading "pid: "
}

get_path_from_pid

# Get the most recently modified "data_2" file: ISO timestamp + absolute path
CACHEFILE=$(find "$GIPATH" -type f -wholename '*/Cache_Data/data_2' -printf "%T+ %p\n" | sort | tail -n 1)
CACHEFILE=${CACHEFILE#*\ } # remove leading timestamp
echo "Found cache file: $CACHEFILE"
echo "===== Matching links:"

strings "$CACHEFILE" | grep -o "https://.*/e20190909gacha-v2/.*" | tail -n1

EDIT: corrected script mistakes. Feel free to propose a PR to add such script to this repo. Either bash or python is desired for minimal dependencies.

Added in 5728d88e61.

Feel free to improve the script as needed.
