I wanted to add some functionality to the app, but for that I need a bit more data. So here are the changes I needed to do to the data exporter:
- filter out Flamers and Infernos
- split
name
field (likeSRM6+ (+2 Dmg)
) intobaseName
(likeSRM6+
) andbonus
(+2 Dmg
) - added
category
- added
baseStabDamage
I might need to do some more changes in the future, for now this will do.
One thing to note is that bonus
field is purely visual, and all the bonus information is included in the data already.
Generated JSON example
{
"baseName": "Gauss Rifle+",
"bonus": "-2 Tons",
"tonnage": 13,
"heat": 5,
"shots": 1,
"baseDamage": 75,
"ammoTonnagePerShot": 0.125,
"minRange": 180,
"maxRange": 660,
"indirectFire": false,
"baseStabDamage": 40,
"category": "Ballistic"
}
Script
The changes from previous version are fairly trivial.

Story so far
Coming next
In the next episode I'll use these changes to add extra functionality to the app.
