Document list of manifest entry types

[allquixotic]

In my mod.json I have:

    "Manifest": [
        { "Type": "MechDef", "Path": "IndartMech\\mechdef_indart_ID-X.json" },
        { "Type": "ChassisDef", "Path": "IndartMech\\chassisdef_indart_ID-X.json" },
        { "Type": "HardpointDataDef", "Path": "IndartMech\\hardpointdatadef_indart.json" },
        { "Type": "MoveDef", "Path": "IndartMech\\movedef_indart_ID-X.json" }
    ]

In output_log.txt I'm getting:

Non platform assembly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\Mods\ModTek.dll (this message is harmless)
Unloading 5 Unused Serialized files (Serialized files now loaded: 1)

at BattleTech.UnityGameInstance.Awake () <0x00120>

I'd prefer not to have to play a guessing game to figure out the correct "Type" to assign to the new items in the manifest. Further:

• The types don't correspond exactly to the folder names. If they did, the "MechDef" -- which is given in many examples in the docs -- would be labeled "mech", and "ChassisDef" would be "chassis".
• The types don't correspond to a CamelCased version of the prefix of the file name. If they did, "movedef_xxx.json" would correspond to a type of "MoveDef", but it says that type isn't found.

So how do I know what type it is, and can we get a complete list of all possible options?

look in the original VersionManifest.csv for the types, there you can see MovementCapabilitiesDef

I can see how that'd be frustrating, as @CptMoore has said, MoveDef is actually called MovementCapabilitiesDef, these types are gotten from the VersionManifest.csv and translate to an enum in game code.

I'll look into getting them parsed out and added to the wiki.

since the values themselves say nothing we would still need something that links values and meaning. only the manifest does that for now
