Updated Units Database?

[rkrempel]

Does anyone have a Units Database that is accurate for the current 3622 patch?

The link on FAF (http://faforever.com/faf/unitsDB/) seems hopelessly outdated. I can't tell how many updates it's behind, but its quite a few.

Personally I'd prefer something in excel, much easier to access/analyze the data that way.

Can someone provide a file with the core data of all units as they are right now?

The calculations of dps aren't even all correct in the db, so that doesn't matter that its out of date.

I suggested some corrections although that thread has since been deleted, along with my last post here

you can looks at them yourself
it is in the faforever.faf file wich can be found there

C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata

just change the extension from .faf to .zip and unzip it than you have a unit folder where you see all units and their stats.

You mean your last post when you've said you will never give your corrections ? I wonder why I've deleted it..

The DB is updated.

Thx @ Mr-Smith

I posted some changes for all to see... until it was moderated.

While talking about it may I ask why it was removed? As far as I can tell I wasn't in breach of any of the forum guidelines.

Actually its a folder with in it a folder for each unit, with a "*_unit.bp" file that indeed has the information we are talking about (aka the basic unit stats), along with another 1900% of noise (aka stuff that's also important but not relevant). To further obfuscate matters, the "*" in this is not directly associable with the units' name, that is in the "*_unit.bp" file along with everything else, so you can't even look up a single unit easily.

So, while the answer you give is technically correct, it's also mostly useless.
(so if I where to guess, you probably work in tech-support )

Yes, a reasonably simple script could sift through all these files, grab the data and dump it into a single spreadsheet. However, I haven't programmed anything in 20 years, so it'd take me ~10 hours to do this (spending 95% of the time on finding and learning the most useful language to use for this (I'm guessing some version of Perl) ).

So, what I'm really asking is: Is there anyone out there that doesn't have to relearn skills they buried 20 years ago that can spend about half an hour on doing this?

From a less personally oriented point of view: if there's a link to a Unit Database in FAF, the data found there should be accurate. At the very least it should be accurately labeled (as "patch 3599 Unit Database", if that's what it really is).

There is one.

It's always on the last patch (with some delay, I'm only one guy to manage everything).

I'm not a programmer so....I cant be much of a help.

But at least, if you want to look up a single unit you can search it in my table to find out in which folder it can be found.
