Client Data Extraction & Provenance
Every weapon profile, ballistic parameter, and armor reduction coefficient on WardogTools begins with direct extraction from the game's unpacked client archives. Rather than relying on secondary rumors or subjective estimates, the extraction pipeline parses raw Unreal Engine asset definitions.
1. Client Archive Architecture & AES Decryption
The extraction engine interfaces directly with the shipping client directory:
- Package Path:
<GameRoot>/Wardogs/Content/Paks/ - Archive Formats: Unreal Engine encrypted
.pakindex containers and streaming.ubulkasset blobs. - Decryption Utility: FModel configured with the official 256-bit AES encryption keys for the active shipping game version.
2. Target Schemas & Ingestion DataTables
Unpacked binary asset tables are serialized into structured JSON records across key game systems:
| Engine Asset | Target Payload | Extracted Properties |
|---|---|---|
| DT_Weapons | Weapon platform baselines | RPM, Caliber, Magazine Size, ADS Speed, Base Damage |
| DT_Ammo | Ammunition specifications | Velocity (m/s), Durability Wear Multipliers, Penetration Factor |
| DA_*_Stats | Recoil & falloff definitions | Pitch/Yaw Keyframes, pitchMax, DistanceDamageFalloffCurve |
| DT_InfantryData_BoneDamageModifiers | Hitbox bone scaling | 13-zone skeletal multipliers segmented by weapon class |
3. Dual-Layer Validation Protocol
Raw data tables provide nominal values, but game engine implementation can introduce subtleties such as order-of-operation clamping, bone hierarchy overrides, and distance thresholds. For this reason, a dual-layer validation protocol is strictly maintained:
Base rates of fire, projectile velocities, recoil curves, and damage scalars are ingested programmatically into the database directly from decrypted files.
Damage multipliers, armor durability degradation, and recoil climb patterns are confirmed through in-game firing range testing and cross-checked against live combat logs.
4. Patch Cadence & Data Provenance
Whenever the game client receives an update, the extraction pipeline re-scans the DT_Weapons and DA_*_Stats files to identify patch diffs. This guarantees that all metrics presented across the Weapons Catalog, Recoil Simulator, and Artillery Calculator remain 100% faithful to the shipping game binary.
