warehouse weapons info

[chromium]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to track weapons usage in some way and relate it to the resource manager.

I noticed that if I dump the warehouse table I get something like this for any kind of weapons:

 

           ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393] = table: 00000005A053AD30                 {
               ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["wsType"] = table: 00000005A053AE10                     {
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["wsType"][1] = 4,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["wsType"][2] = 7,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["wsType"][4] = 158,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["wsType"][3] = 33,
                   },
               ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][393]["initialAmount"] = 120,
               },

 

this is, for example, for a S-8 rockets (OFP2 or KOM, don't remember). Does anyone knows where I can find corrispondence between the "393" id and the fact that relates to S-8 rockets?

 

thanks

Well at the moment I'm using a "manual entry table" so it's a very preliminary thing. If someone has any other suggestion, it's welcome :)

The weapon id's are in the weapons lua in the core dcs files. You can track them there. New weapons in a mod have to create their own in their lua.

db_weapons_data.lua

[chromium]

You can track them there

 

Can you suggest me how?

I looked into that files, but wpn are defined this way:

 

		{
			NatoName	=	"(AA-6)",
			CLSID	=	"{4EDBA993-2E34-444C-95FB-549300BF7CAF}",
			Picture	=	"R40R.png",
			displayName	=	_("R-40R"),
			Weight	=	475,
			attribute	=	{4,	4,	7,	7},
			Elements	=	
			{
				[1]	=	
				{
					DrawArgs	=	
					{
						[1]	=	{1,	1},
						[2]	=	{2,	1},
					}, -- end of DrawArgs
					Position	=	{0,	0,	0},
					ShapeName	=	"R-40R",
				}, 
			}, -- end of Elements
		}, 

 

while, instead, into the warehouse file are this way (don't bother the different visualization type, I highlight in red the id I need):

 

           ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][[b][color="Red"]373[/color][/b]] = table: 000000055B879D28                 {
               ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["wsType"] = table: 000000055B879E08                     {
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["wsType"][1] = 4,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["wsType"][2] = 5,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["wsType"][4] = 70,
                   ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["wsType"][3] = 9,
                   },
               ["warehouses"][8]["weapons"][373]["initialAmount"] = 0,
               },

 

I can't find the file that couple a particoular weapon to that code. And it's needed to ensure warehouse update from a mission to another (that I already got working)

 

this is my personal "manual" built simple table (for Mi-8 ), which has the display name (from wpn desc table) and warehouse id number:

 

local validWeaponsCode = {
["S-8OFP2"] 			= 392,
["S-8KOM"]  			= 407,
["S-8OM"]  				= 393,
["S-8TsM"]  			= 401,
["S-5"]  				= 405,
["S-5M"]  				= 402,
["S-13"]				= 408,
["KORD 12.7 Gun"]		= 87,
["7.62mm"]				= 88,
["23mm HE"]				= 89,
["30mm HE"]				= 81,
["12.7mm"]				= 80,
["FAB-100"]				= 369,
["FAB-250"]				= 370,
["FAB-500"]				= 372,
["SAB-100"]				= 322,

}

Ok now I'm pretty angry.

I got a complete warehouse items tracking from a mission to the next one, using the manual table above... but I discovered that those weapons "ids" are not fixed and change (at least) from a scenery to another and (maybe) from a mission to another.

 

I seriously NEED to get those IDs to be dynamic... and I can't get how :(.
