File names & Parameters

cards.json

Simple json table defining fundamental stats and keywords. New entries here will be functional but not appear in game unless forced, or use correct sprites without corresponding entries in data.js.

Parameters

NOTE: most of these are not required! only include when relevant!

Parameter	Entry	Result
data	"0" or string	"0" gives no data entry in datacloud, otherwise any string here will appear with "View Data" button.
type	1 or 2	unknown, probably determines tech cards (2) or deployable units (1)
dmg	0 or more	base damage. -1 for no damage component at all
hp	0 or more	base hull. constructs have 0
size	0 or more, max of 3 is best	unit's orbit size. can be anything, but never more than 3 in game
timer	0 or more	base timer. 0 for no timer at all.
boss_up	dongle id	upgrade given by Reward Program coordinate, only for bosses
attacks	1 or more	more than 1 means multistrike
effect_count	0 or more	amount of effects to read next
effect_X	type, variant, status, and/or power	X is 1,2,etc. up to effect_count, one entry per effect. see Internal IDs for effects.
name	string	plaintext name the player sees. useful for searching.
comms	comms id	specified comms dialog set, seems to concatenate with conditions in comms.json
faction	"heg" "lt" "tu" "con" "flo" "et"	use unknown, possibly for loot pools?
por_obj	"obj_unit_hos" "obj_unit_lt" "obj_unit_tu" "obj_unit_con" "obj_unit_flo" "obj_unit_et" "obj_unit_universal"	use unknown, seems to determine default sprite if no sprite is in data.js. factional, heg is GP, universal is mercs.
dc_cond	unlock condition id	datacloud unlock condition
por_angle	rotation applied in card view, clockwise in degrees
por_scale	decimal float	scalar multiplier to card view, mostly for shrinking big sprites
deck_group	0 to 3	special ordering in deck view, Megaship is 0, auxes are 1, flagships are 2, constructs are 3. Some starting cards are also 3.
por_back	cp_ something	filename of card_por_ asset abbreviated as cp_
jump_fx	1 to 4	jump effect, unknown which corresponds to which
gun_mounts	0 or more	amount of turreted guns, up to its sprite's number of mounting points (see data.js). No more than 4 in base game
death_fx_power	1 to 5	explosion strength on death. only N-Mine uses 5
death_total	1	??? what the fuck is this? only on constructs
death_time_max	0.1 to 6	not really known, presumably how long death animation lasts, Megaships are all 6, plus some extras

data.js

Declares gdjs.projectData, defining most game assets. In particular, handles sprites, animations, mounting points for ships, and data cloud position. Demonstrated with Field Frigate, or unit_lt_field_cutter.

Entry 1, initial import of all frames

{"file":"unit_lt_field_cutter_0_0.png","kind":"image","metadata":"","name":"unit_lt_field_cutter_0_0.png","smoothed":false,"userAdded":true},
{"file":"unit_lt_field_cutter_1_0.png","kind":"image","metadata":"","name":"unit_lt_field_cutter_1_0.png","smoothed":false,"userAdded":true},
{"file":"unit_lt_field_cutter_2_0.png","kind":"image","metadata":"","name":"unit_lt_field_cutter_2_0.png","smoothed":false,"userAdded":true},
{"file":"unit_lt_field_cutter_3_0.png","kind":"image","metadata":"","name":"unit_lt_field_cutter_3_0.png","smoothed":false,"userAdded":true},

Entry 2, reimport to internal file

places sprite in pixels/units/ (only for _0_0?)

{"file":"unit_lt_field_cutter_0_0.png","kind":"image","metadata":"","name":"pixels/units/unit_lt_field_cutter_0_0.png","smoothed":false,"userAdded":false},

Entry 3, define animation

very long despite being only 4 frames (0-3), shown in order 0123130232101203 with point definitions and collision shapes for each. Be careful with the order of this one! Its position in the list determines its spot in the datacloud!

Entry 4, ui_unlock_icon list

possibly data cloud? not needed for most cards i think

doesn't define points or collision mask, "animation" of one nonlooping frame
