Research and "OriginTech" mega thread

[MrStonedOne]

So i made some pages for wiki by generating them in byond.

List of items with origin tech (670 items in this table)

List of items without origin tech (2420 items in this table)

And here is the code:

Code: Select all

/client/proc/generateorigintechwikitables()
	set category = "Debug"
	set name = "Generate Origin Tech WikiTables"

	var/withorigintechtable = {"{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align:center" width="100%"
|+Items with Origin tech
!Type
!Name
!Material
!Enginee<br>ring
!Plasma
!Power
!Blue<br>space
!Bio
!Combat
!EMP
!Data
!Illegal"}
	var/noorigintechtable = {"{| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align:center" width="100%"
|+Items without Origin tech
!Type
!Name
"}
	
	for(var/T in typesof(/obj/item))
		var/flags = initial(T:flags)
		if (flags & (NODROP|ABSTRACT))
			continue
		var/tech = initial(T:origin_tech)
		var/name = initial(T:name)
		
		
		var/list/techlist = params2list("materials=0;programming=0;magnets=0;powerstorage=0;bluespace=0;combat=0;biotech=0;syndicate=0;engineering=0;plasmatech=0")
		var/list/temp_list = params2list(tech)
		if (!tech || temp_list.len == 0)
			noorigintechtable += {"|-
|[T] || [name]
"}
			continue
		for(var/I in temp_list)
			techlist[I] = text2num(temp_list[I])
		
		withorigintechtable += {"
|-
|[T] || [name]"}

		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["materials"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["engineering"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["plasmatech"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["powerstorage"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["bluespace"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["biotech"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["combat"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["magnets"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["programming"]]"
		withorigintechtable += " || [techlist["syndicate"]]"
		
	withorigintechtable += {"
|}
"}
	noorigintechtable += {"
|}
"}
	usr << browse("<pre>" + withorigintechtable + "\n\n\n" + noorigintechtable + "</pre>", "window=wikitablelist")

(I just added it as an admin verb for +debug on my local branch)

To use this, just run it somehow, find the 400kb html file in byonds cache (sort by date modified), load it in notepad++, find an example of the "improper" bullshit, do a find/replace on that to blank it out, and then you just pop the two tables in a wiki page.

Moving on: What I was hoping was that users who have the time and patience could look at adding origin tech to items that don't have it, but need it, and tweaking/balancing the ones that do have it.

Either way, the data is here for you all to use.

Thank you for this service. Hopefully someone takes the charge on adding/tweaking tech origins.

Might be a good idea seeing if the files could be displayed as expanding trees rather than straight text dumps.

i've read the OP several times and i still don't understand what the fuck

In R&D, many items can be deconstructed for tech levels. A flamethrower has Combat 1, Plasma 1, for example. An energy sword has Magnets 3 and Syndicate 4.

In the code, "OriginTech" refers to these tech levels.

The code in the OP is a table that can generate a list of items without "OriginTech" - items that won't go in the destructive analyser, because they have no tech levels (like a chameleon projector or donut).

The rest is magic.

Some of the tech categories have three different names, depening on where you look, it's pretty dumb.

RnD needs a cleanup in general

For the love of god remove the unreliability of the protolathe its a outdated mechanic that was never finished
