Data Dump

Data Dump is a Uniquely Useful Utility mod.

It logs a bunch of data to debug.log, and comes with a python script (as either a .py or a .exe) that parses the debug.log to split it in several smaller, properly formatted .txt files that can easily be used as database input for excel, access, or whatever your program of choice is.

This is meant as a tool to easily track data over the course of an observer game, which can prove useful in helping balance features, and see their impact on the gamestate.

Load first in the load order to avoid conflicts, as I am changing things like factions and character interactions to log data, and you probably want to lose data than other mod's features and gameplay changes.

Have the .py or .exe file in the same folder as your debug.log, and execute the script.
You'll need to install python if you don't have it already.
Each time the script is executed, it will dump output files in a subfolder, so no risk of erasing the previous dump by mistake.

- faith_ref.txt: list of all faiths on game start + created during the game
- culture_ref.txt: list of all cultures on game start + created during the game, with their ethos, heritage and language
- yearly_dump.txt: each year, all rulers with their culture, faith, rank, liege, government, realm size, domain size, gold, manpower
- traits_education.txt: when they die, each character with their education traits
- traits_lifestyle.txt: when they die, each character with their lifestyle traits
- traits_personality.txt: when they die, each character with their personality traits
- traits_stress.txt: when they die, each character with their stress traits
- war_started_dump.txt: each war started with the year, CB used, primary attacker ID, primary defender ID
- war_ended_dump.txt: each war ended with the year and result (from the attacker's PoV)
- death_reasons.txt: each death with death_reason and killer when there is one

faith_ref and culture_ref are useful to reference culture and faiths in other files by ID rather than by name, to try and cut down on the size of the debug.log as much as possible.

Likewise, in yearly_dump.txt, the liege is identified by its ID, and if character ID = liege ID, that means the character is independent.
