Show weapon weights

[justoic]

Please can you add the weapon's weight to make the comparisons more precise. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion and apologies for the delay

If I get around to making options for showing/hiding more columns, weight will probably be one of them. It's not the most relevant info for the purpose of this tool but I agree it's useful for making comparisons between different options

Hello @ThomasJClark, first of all great job on the damage calculator! I have really enjoyed tinkering with it while playing ER.

I am interested in contributing and this issue seems like it could be a good entry point. I’m an experienced coder and professional data scientist, but I am a total n00b when it comes to TypeScript and have limited web development experience in general. Would you be able to give me any tips on how the project is organized (frontend, backend, where/how the raw game data is stored, etc.) to help me get started? Thanks!!

thanks @smpcole, that would be much appreciated

The "backend" is a buildData.ts script that you run to generate the data from the game files. You'll need to update this to include weight as a new field. There otherwise isn't really a backend portion, it's just a standard client-side react app

lmk if you have any questions

Thanks a ton! I will try to take a look at it this weekend.
