I am interested in your project of WoWS ship viewer. I am trying to pull out ships as well to make wallpapers. I managed to pullout the hull of the ship but there are so many elements missing, like guns, AA, lifeboats, etc ,etc. I would assume the guns could be found more or less easy, but there are so many other elements. I wonder if you have any info if there is a file in the game that specifies what other miscellaneous items to be placed on ship.

Also, I have a question about .visual file. If you get this message, please reply.

Thank you

The best I can get are the amount of slots for them and how many planes there are for each type. The actual planes are listed in the ships object BUT.. they are just listed in the root for that ship. This makes it tough to extract them. They will have to be searched for using their prefix and.. there are a lot of nations and plane types.. 5 nations.. 4 plane types.. this means 5 x 4 different prefixes. I guess you could setup an array of strings ahead of time and search by each element in the array. That would make it easier OR.. you could get all the plane names and search using that. I however do not know how to do jack shit in Python and have no interest, as I said before, in learning it.

        "PAUB009_Douglas_AD1": {
            "planeType": "PAAB009_Douglas_AD1"
        },
        "PAUB013_A2D_SKYSHARK": {
            "planeType": "PAAB013_A2D_Skyshark"
        },
        "PAUD001_Curtiss_SB2C": {
            "planeType": "PAAD001_Curtiss_SB2C"
        },
        "PAUD005_DOUGLAS_XSB2D": {
            "planeType": "PAAD005_Douglas_XSB2D"
        },
        "PAUI010_F8F_Bearcat": {
            "planeType": "PAAF010_F8F_Bearcat"
        },
        "PAUI016_MCDONNELL_F2H": {
            "planeType": "PAAF016_McDonnell_F2H"
        },

Also.. I noticed there is a lot of game data specific to hit points and damage... how much a shell does in damage.. how much HP an object has.
I sure as hell hope by figuring this file out we have not opened the door to a shit load of hacks.

I didn't write a script, so if you're trying to automate the process, my method would probably be useless.

What I used:
JSONedit
http://tomeko.net/software/JSONedit/
http://tomeko.net/software/JSONedit/bin ... 0_9_14.zip

For validating and resaving JSON files, so they load better in other programs, like dicttoxml.

dicttoxml
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dicttoxml
https://github.com/quandyfactory/dicttoxml

For converting JSON to XML. Python scripting required:

Code: Select all

# NOTE: dicttoxml by default is adding types to the XML
# OPTIONS:
# attr_type=False = Turn off types

import json
import dicttoxml

f = open('GameParams.json', 'r')
obj = json.loads(f.read())

xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, attr_type=False)
#print xml

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
dom = parseString(xml)

f2 = open('GameParams.xml', 'w')
f2.write("%s" % dom.toprettyxml())
f2.close()
