A tool for extracting clickabledata elements from installed DCS World modules.

Instructions for use

Download files

Download the files by cloning this repository via the green "Clone or download" button to the top-right or downloading the zip from the "Releases" tab.

Extract clickabledata to csv

• Open the file extract_module_main.lua and specify the DCS Install Path and Module name to query.
• Double-click LuaRunScript.exe to run the lua scripts and create a CSV file in the same directory.

Example: Running with A-10C specified as the module will generate a file: A-10C_clickabledata.csv

(Optional) Run interactive Lua Console

If you'd like to open an interactive Lua console you can double-click the LuaConsole.exe executable. You can then include the functions used for extraction with the following line:

dofile("extract_functions.lua")

You can then interactively call the functions instead of extract_module_main.lua calling them.

Building from source

Lua scripts

The lua scripts can be modified and run without compiling as it is a scripting language.

LuaConsole and LuaRunScript

These are C++ functions that can be built using the Visual Studio solution within LuaConsole\

• LuaConsole - is simply a compiled executable of the lua-5.1.5 package for Win32.
• LuaRunScript - also compiles lua-5.1.5, but adds a main.cpp file which calls the extract_module_main.lua script instead of opening an interactive console.
