    I like to look at economy tables to think of building orders and stuff but they havee to be updated everytime something changed. So i took a look into the PA files and saw that the unit stats are stored clientside and most important not encrypted and thought of ways how i can make a program that reads all folders of the units and extracts the information to put them into a table. I thought of learning c++ to make this or reactivate my python knowledge but i dont like to have an extra program so i thought of learning to make a mod for PA but i dont know how and where to start. So i started this request.

    How i would make the mod look like:
    -An extra button in the mainmenu which opens a window with all the data you need.
    -would only show the important things like commander, each factory+ fabricator with their cost, energy and metal use, efficiency
    and a button which opens a second menu with all units sorted by the folder architecture like units/air/xy, units/land/etc... and their stats like damage, health, etc

    But unfortunately i could only make it in gmod lua at the moment but i dont know if i could open any directory with it and i dont have the time due to school.

    This way everyone who wants an updated economy table just needs a mod.

    If there is anything you dont understand or you want to know then ask me and let me know what you think of this idea.
