Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We've got a load of legacy JSON making game data inconsistent and it's harder to make tooling for our data when it isn't well standardized.

Describe the solution you'd like All game data should use current conventions and support for loading legacy JSON objects should be dropped. Most of the updates should be relatively easy to automate.

  • item groups
  • name strings
  • volume ints
  • weight ints
  • time ints
  • burst attributes
  • damage and pierce ints

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find and review the project's documentation on JSON data conventions. Examine sample legacy JSON files and compare to updated ones to understand changes. Write a script to automate conversion and test on a subset. Ensure removal of backward compatibility as specified.
