WMData

Overview

The WMDATA files ("World Market Data") include variables and baselines for the economy / map / world.

They also include Resource variables for each resource type.

Up to 10 WMDATA files can be loaded, the game will progress through them in sequence. This is specified as a parameter to the &&WMDATA value, such as "&&WMDATA, 1". File numbers don't need to start at zero, but all files do need to be in sequence after that (ie, SRCW is 3, GC2020 is 4). Most values are averaged between the current and the next WMDATA number set if one exists, as the days progress.

Here are the default numbers used in SRU:

SR1914 0

SR1936 1

SR1942 2

SRCW 3 (1949)

GC2020 4

heurmult[4][4]: Heuristic A* Pathing multiplier for each unit mtype (G/A/N/Sub), For each: Cautious; Normal; Direct (straight line); Quickest. Generally 2 is minimum heuristic, ie fastest

lutsupcost[256]: Look-up-table for supply extra cost factor - default is add 10 if no supply, down to 0 if supply > 127...

commandunit[2]: Command unit unitnum [Planet / Reserved for Space]

In all SRU versions:

dayswmlevel: Number of days to move from this to the next WMDATA set.

unitgarrison / unitguerrilla / unitpartisan: Specially Generated Units unitnum - progression based on tech TECHEFFECTGARRISONTYPE (up to 8 each) (guerrilla/partisan SRNG/GR)

battstrdefault: The Battalion Strength for each Military Class

SRU Only - In SRNG/GR the Weather is moved to Planet Profile:

weatheryear: Number of days in the winter-summer-winter cycle

weatherspeed[]: Speed of the weather fronts (8) 1 to 255; lower is faster; should be prime number for best results

weatheroffy[]: Weather center y-offset (-127 for North, +127 for South)

specnavaltransitowner[8]: default dbnum of owning player for all 8 special naval transit hexes (if hex is still owned by this player additional path checks not needed)

Modding Guide - The World Commodity Market .WMData file

• /Maps/Data/default.WMDATA

The sections in the .WMDATA file are as follows;

&&WMDATA(general world market tweaks)

1. gdpcbase (World Baseline GDP/c)
2. primerate
3. battstrdefault (effects default battalion strengths?)
4. hexresmults (Hex Resource multipliers 0-3)

This next set is the same for each of the different resource types. I'll list the resource I'Ds first then list the tags under each entry.

1. &&WMPRODDATA,0 (Agriculture)
2. &&WMPRODDATA,1 (Rubber; prior to SR1936 this was Water)
3. &&WMPRODDATA,2 (Timber)
4. &&WMPRODDATA,3 (Petrol)
