How-To generate the Visualization

   • if you are using the SaveScoop.py script, you can also set the destination to the “Test Files” folder.
2. Run the processAllSaves.py script
   • the script will:
     1. extract and rename the gamestate files from the .sav archive
     2. parse the gamestate into a .json file located in the new folder “JSON Data”
     3. combine the .json files in superData.json
3. When the script is finished, you can launch the Visualization.html
   • (if no galayx map is diplayed use the slider to update the year)

Quickstart

This project already comes with a sample superData.json so you can immediately start the Visualization.html to view the sample.

How-To use the Visualization

• The slider updates the chart with a particular year
• The “Node Color Modification” Radio Buttons allow different coloration of the galaxy.
  • “Countries” categorizes the systems into groups owned by a Country (first 14. Thereafter, minor factions are colored white).
  • “Starbases” paints starbases according to their level into the galaxy (white to red)
• The Infobox at the bottom shows available Info on the selected System (Systems can be selected and deselected by clicking on them).
• Systems can be Compared by selecting one normally and the second one while shift is pressed down.
