Tech tree generator
Posted: 09 Jan 2019, 20:17
Introduced a decade ago in ticket #423, a little python script was made to generate a visual graphic of a research tree. Somehow got the tech tree generator to work with the JSON stat files (been years since I last did something in python, lol).
Don't know if it can be used anymore to update the beta guide research graphic, but if not, oh well. Requires pydot and graphviz. I used python 3 (3.6.7 is on my system) and it seemed to generate everything fine.
Edit: Cleaned it up and linted it to remove several warnings. Accidentally used researchPower instead of researchPoints with the first patch, so fixed.
Edit2: Fixed plasma-cannon and emp weapon edge colors.
Edit3: Should generate the graph a little bit quicker now.
