Missing missiles information #38

Open Araamarmorth opened 9 years ago

Araamarmorth commented 9 years ago

There is currently no way to access missile's cost in mass, energy or build time: this could be accesses from TML, UEF and Seraphim com, nuclear launcher, Yolona Oss and nuke launching boats.

Indeed, but these numbers are not in the blueprint file, and I didn't find the place where this is available.

Araamarmorth commented 9 years ago

This can be found in the Economy section of the projectiles' blueprint.

For instance in _projectiles/AIFMissileTactical01/AIFMissileTactical01proj.bp you can find:

Economy = {
    BuildCostEnergy = 3600,
    BuildCostMass = 180,
    BuildTime = 2400,
},

If you are interested, I could write a script to extract this on a per weapon basis. This could also be useful if one day we want to know which missiles follow their target or what are their acceleration.

Makes sense, this should probably be a part in the current tools. Queuing up in the pipeline.

Hey spooky i am really new to java script, currently i am programming an android app for the UnitDataBase(i am learning how to programm android apps in general). Could you tell me how to extract the stats from the game so that i get a .json file? Sorry for contacting you in this way. If u dont have time for this, sorry for bothering you.

HopeAndWonder: In general, you need to extract 3 files (all zip files with different extension): units.scd (supcom:fa install dir), faforever.nxt, units.nx2 (both Faforever\gamedata dir). Then search for .bp files. These are lua files with the unit config. A simpler way would be just to take the index.json (minified version, removed unused properties) or index.fat.json (full unit extract) from this repo
