Wiki Fodder

#1

UPDATE
These files are now obsolete. Rather than relying on me to post the game’s internal data files, you can now export them yourself from the mod interface. From the save menu screen, click the “M” button, then “create new mod” and select your export option. This will create a folder with a “data dump” of files from the game, and you can get all the latest game data information from there.

And of course, you can change any of that data and load it back into the game as a mod :slight_smile:
END UPDATE

This sticky will be continuously updated with raw data files, art dumps, and links to useful stuff that should eventually go in the wiki. This way people looking for wiki material can consult this thread.

Also, if you’ve got some information that should go in the wiki, but are too lazy to actually post it on the wiki, stick it in this thread so other people can use it to flesh out the wiki.

To get things started, I’m posting some links to raw data files for those who want to go nuts over stats. I figured it’s just easier to post the data directly rather than force people to reverse-engineer it from playing the game. These files are current as of version 0.8.6 and will be updated periodically:

Don’t try to view these directly in your browser - download them and open them in a text editor (for the xml files) or a spreadsheet program (csv files)

Everything looks good except “data_deffender.xml” and “index.xml” which doesn’t show up. Well I was also making a name/skill list myself so thanks! :wink:

The files are there, they’re probably just not visible in a web browser, so you might have to download them directly and then open in a text editor.

In both cases, firefox shows errors:

Right, that’s what I mean - they’re not formatted such that they’re easily viewed in a browser, or whatever parsing error is in the file isn’t picked up by the game. At any rate, I recommend using “view source” to take a look at these files.

Also, these files are a bit old. I need to update them to reflect the latest changes (skills, etc) - but I’ll keep an archive of these so that we have records of what the values used to be.

#6

Well, I have experience with 2 other game wikis on wikia, and I want to help here. Any chance of having the updated XMLs for v.0.9.01?

#7

Yeah, sure can. I’ll post an update when it’s done.

Also, any testers using the modding functionality in 0.9.04+ can now export all XML’s from the game directly through the mod interface.

#8

Kay, it’s updated to version 0.9.04. Let me know if there’s any problems!

#9

Okay, thanks!

#10

FYI, “wiki fodder” should now be unecessary for me to produce, because the mod interface can export all the data assets directly.

#11

well…

“This thread is like, super old!”

Anyway, what I think that is NOT needed would be puppet_shows.xml, because I think its data is in defenders_data.csv. Correct me if i’m wrong.
