ModUpdater

ModUpdater is a command-line developer tool created by SatanicSanta. Its purpose is to limit the tedious acts that occur after a mod developer compiles their mod, such as updating wiki articles, making announcements on Twitter, and uploading the compiled mod to CurseForge. It uses a user-created JSON or XML configuration file to enable and perform the acts. It is written in Ruby, with a tiny amount of Perl 5.

Configuration
ModUpdater is configured via a JSON or XML file of any name, and any directory. This file has the following tree:
 * modupdater: The main object. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * new_vers: A string field defining the version of the mod that is being uploaded. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * cf_settings: The object for CurseForge-specific configuration. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * type (Optional): A string field defining the release type for use in the CurseForge upload. Will default to the standard release if omitted or an invalid value.
 * release: Standard release
 * beta: Beta release
 * alpha: Alpha release
 * api_key: A string field defining the user's CurseForge API Key. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * project: An integer field defining the user's CurseForge Project ID. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * file_name (Optional): A string field defining the user's file name for use in the CurseForge upload. This does not need, and probably cannot, match the file_dir field. Will default to everything after the last / in the file_dir field if omitted.
 * file_dir: A string field defining the directory of the file being uploaded to CurseForge. This does not need, and probably cannot, match the file_name field. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * game_versions: An array of strings defining the valid Minecraft versions of the mod being uploaded. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * issues_bool: A boolean field enabling (true) or disabling (false) the use of issue tracker links in the changelogs. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * issues_url: A string field containing the URL to the user's issue tracker. Will cause a forced program if omitted and issues_bool is true.
 * changelog (Optional): A standard object containing an infinite number of arrays that define each line in the changelog.
 * type (Optional): A string field defining the type of change described by that particular array.
 * changes: A string field describing the change. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted and the changelog array object is not omitted.
 * issue (Optional): The issue number.
 * twitter_bool: A boolean value enabling (true) or disabling (false) the use of the Twitter announcement. If this value is false, Perl and WWW::Twitter are not required for the software. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * twitter_un: A string containing the user's Twitter username. This must be an account that they have access to, because the software will require the user's password. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted and twitter_bool is true.
 * tweet_custom: A string containing a custom tweet. Cannot be longer than 140 characters, and will say one of the following, depending on whether the length of is greater than 101.
 * Greater than: My mod with a long name and version number has updated. Get it at CurseForge
 * Otherwise: mod_name has updated to new_vers. Get it at CurseForge, which is also the default tweet.
 * mod_name: A string containing the mod's name. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * wiki_settings: An object containing the settings for the Wiki-related features of the bot. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted.
 * wiki_bool: A boolean value enabling (true) or disabling (false) the wiki features.
 * wiki_page (Optional): A string value linking to the FTB Gamepedia page for the mod's changelog. Will default to mod_name/Changelog if omitted.
 * wiki_un: A string value containing the user's Gamepedia username. Will cause a forced program exit if omitted and wiki_bool is true.
 * section_size (Optional): An integer defining the size of the headers used in the changelog update. Will default to 2 if the value is greater than 6 or smaller than 2.
