Talk:CCP Static Data Dump

From EVEDev

[edit] A little explanation, please...

This is all news to me. I didn't even know that database dumps from eve existed! Could you include some explanation of where you're getting these dumps from? Is there an items database available, etc? I've been looking for a way to get mapping data. Is that information available in the dumps? --Aravandor

Developers of game make db dumps for us and post message in Dev blogs or Techology forum. This page summarises all available info and also some findings made by community. --6opoga 00:36, 12 October 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Translation

It is possible to translate the types in the Database? There must be a mapping between the types in the database and the translation files in the *.stuff packages. (eg. resLangPack.DE.stuff) There is a python-pickled file in the packages and if you unpickle them, you get a mapping like

(<number>, <number>) : u'SomeTranslationText'

i brought it into a *.properties format like:

8.726772=Tritanium

33.726772=Der Hauptbaustein aller Strukturen im All. Ein sehr hartes, aber dennoch biegbares Metall. Kann nicht zum Bau von Unterkünften verwendet werden, da es bei atmosphärischen Temperaturen instabil wird. Kommt sehr häufig in allen Sektoren vor.

This is the German-Translation of "Tritanium", first the name and then the description. The first number seem to be groups because the occur more than once. Probably the "33" stands for descriptions and the "8" for keywords. Also mission-briefings are translatet and have always the same first number.

But i see no relation between the database invTypes entry for Tritanium and the number 726772 which seems to be unique for the Tritanium translation entries.

Any idea?
