Heliosphere Affects Calculator

A FFXIV game path parser, a generator for a database of IDs extracted from paths and what they affect, and a calculator to combine the two and figure out what paths affect what (item/equipment/etc.) names.

This collection of crates was designed for Heliosphere but could easy be adapted for any project that needs to parse FFXIV game paths or figure out what they affect.

What does it detect?

In terms of parsed paths:

• chara/eXXXX/equipment
  • /eXXXX.imc
  • /model/cXXXXeXXXX_SLOT.mdl
  • /material/vXXXX/mt_cXXXXeXXXX_SLOT_EXTRA.mtrl
  • /texture/vXX_cXXXXeXXXX_SLOT_EXTRA.tex
  • /vfx/eff/veXXXX.avfx
• chara/weapon
  • will fill in the rest later, but it does catch most things in these paths
• chara/accessory
• chara/human
• chara/demihuman
• chara/monster
• common/font
• ui/icon
• ui/map

In terms of specific names:

• Gear

• Event NPCs
• Player character/NPC customisation (body, skin textures, skeletons, etc.)
• Mounts
• Minions

In terms of vague names:

• Anything in vfx/ becomes "VFX"
