spreadsheet columns

just a dumping ground for something I'm working on...

Property	Type	Description	Values
.researchID		ID of a technology that can be researched
.name	String	Human readable name of the technology / item	String taken from names.txt so it can be used with _() localise at later date
.type	String constant	Research path What will the technology enable or improve?	Weapons: PATH_AAGUN – hurricane, etc. PATH_ARTILLERY – howitzer, etc. PATH_ASSIMILATE – nexus assimilation tech PATH_BOMB – VTOL bombs (are these better in other weapon lines?) PATH_CANNON – cannon, auto-cannon, etc. PATH_FLAMER – flamer, plasmite, etc. PATH_LASER – flashlight, pulse laser, etc. PATH_MISSILE – scourge, archangel, etc. PATH_MORTAR – mortar, pepperpot, etc. PATH_MACHINEGUN – machine gun, etc. PATH_RAILGUN – rail gun, needle gun, etc. PATH_ROCKET – mini rocket pod, etc Droids: PATH_BORGS – any cyborg (including jump propulsion if it's ever added) PATH_DROID – applies to all droids (eg. engine upgrades) PATH_REPAIR – land droid repair PATH_TANK – applies only to tanks (produced at normal factory) PATH_TRANSPORT – droid transportation PATH_VEHICLE – any vehicle except cyborgs PATH_VTOL – VTOLs and basic bombs Other (mostly systems, buildings, etc): PATH_BUILDING – any base building, excluding defences/walls PATH_COMMAND – command turret, CRC, etc. PATH_CONSTRUCTION – improved engineering, etc. PATH_ECM – anything to do with electronic counter measures PATH_PERIMETER – all base defences (towers, walls, etc) PATH_POWER – power generation PATH_RESEARCH – synaptic link, etc. PATH_SENSOR – any sensor (including radar detector) PATH_SYSTEM – generic system (applies to everything I own)
.subType	String constant	Research effect What effect will the research have on the research line? Note: In case some choices seem strange... EFFECT_BUILDING = armour upgraded by PATH_BUILDING EFFECT_PERIMETER = armour upgraded by PATH_PERIMETER For example, Laser Satellite is PERIMETER and Satellite Uplink is BUILDING!	EFFECT_BODY - new vehicle body EFFECT_BUILDING - new building available EFFECT_DROID - new droid available (cyborg, transport) EFFECT_MODULE - new structure module available EFFECT_PERIMETER - new defence/barrier available EFFECT_PROPULSION - new vehicle propulsion EFFECT_TURRET - new turret available EFFECT_UPGRADE - some aspect of the research line upgraded (see *Mod poperties)
.faction	String constant	Research faction Mainly used to focus on a specific faction's vehicle bodies.	FACTION_ALL – Any / all factions FACTION_SCAVENGER – Scavengers FACTION_PROJECT – The Project FACTION_COLLECTIVE – The Collective FACTION_NEWPARADIGM – New Paradigm FACTION_NEXUS – Nexus
.researchID	String	ID of a technology that can be researched (if applicable)	Research ID taken from research.txt so it can be passed to pursueResearch()
.researchCost	Number	How much power is needed to start research?	Depends on technology.
.researchPoints	Number	How long does it take to do the research?	Depends on technology.
.researchPointsMod	Number	Multiplier applied to future research times.	Depends on technology.
.itemCost	Number	What does it cost to build the item?	Depends on item.
.itemCostMod	Number	Modifier applied to item costs.	Depends on item/technology.
.itemPoints	Number	How long does it take to build the item?	Depends on technology.
.itemPointsMod	Number	Modifier applied to item points.	Depends on technology.
.propulsion	Number constant	Research/Item propulsion. Does the research relate to a specific propulsion?	See Propulsions.
.propulsionID	String constant	ID of propulsion for EFFECT_PROPULSION and EFFECT_DROID items.	Propulsion ID taken from propulsion.txt (simplified).
.body	Number constant?	Research/Item body. Does the research relate to a specific body?
.bodyID	String constant	ID of body for EFFECT_BODY and EFFECT_DROID items.	Body ID taken from body.ini (I think?)
.size	Number constant	A rough idea about the size of the body. It's not clear where these are defined, what determines the size, or what effect it has on the game.
