Database Question X

Post by scout1 »

The data extracted using witpload for LCU's provides an "LCUFormationID" which provides the basic type of formation. These numbers run between 933 and 966.

I believe that the data for 933 through 966 provides the full up TOE for each of the respective unit types. True ? So if I wnated to compute which units are short what equipment it would be a comparison of its OOB vs the TOE ?

Secondly, there is a field listed as "_size". In the past, Frag had indicated to ignore these as they aren't used or that I won't find out how they are used. Fair enough. But, there are some "Fortress" units, that have a LCUFormationID of 0, which isn't one of the choices I can figure, but does and a value in the "_size" field that in between 933 and 966. Is this also used as the unit type ?

If the Formation# is 0, then the TOE of that unit is actually what the LCU starts the scenario with.
The _size tag is unused. Likely data that visualised but never actually implemented or old data.
