Info for Developers

Alongside the source code for the GUI itself, this repository also contains the necessary scripts and code used to export, preprocess and build the Mappalachia database and also generate/render supporting image assets.

The required information is compiled in 3 key steps.

1. Extract the raw data in CSV using FO76Edit
2. Preprocess the data and assemble the database, with validation
3. Image Asset rendering and extraction
