There is currently support on the f9 screen to export to jason, however there is no easy way to import jason into excel for data analysis. if somebody was to do this they are welcome to replase the jason export option with CSV, or offer a choice.
opps, pressed the wrong button.
ECS-Comms branch is currently capable of outputting SolarSystems to XML as of commit 05a776e.
The XML is formatted to be able to be imported into Excel.
I do agree however, that we should be able to export/import SolarSystems to JSON aswell. I am updating the original issue to specify this.
I don't believe CSV output is required at this point.
Can this be closed now Snopy? iirc you implemented this.
Fully implemented in 7cba59aff34acf4a37e6631cc145f6558a949763
Edit by Rod-Serling: We have implimented XML output that can be imported into Excel, however, we still need a way for StarSystems to be imported/exported directly into the game from JSON.
These should be PublicAPI functions of the Library.
Original Issue by Antagonistic: In order to check what changes to stargen does to the quality of planets we generate, I need to do some data analysis. Generate 1000 starsystems, create some charts and graphs, compare with an earlier version etc... Excell is okay for this, but for that I need to export starsystems.
We need an export anyway on the F9 screen, with several options, json, csv, etc to export the selected system or all systems
I would also like a function in the Tests project to export the aforementioned 1000 starsystems.
