Hunt: Showdown Stat Recording

Tools to get statistics from your last Hunt match, with the goal of eventually watching for changes and recording the data after every match.

Written in PowerShell.

What

Scraping $HuntInstallDirectory\user\profiles\default\attributes.xml for information after every game. I don't know why they're using XML when the structure is entirely flat; this could be easier. I also don't know why some data is stored in there at all (icon paths, etc).

Currently provides the following functions:

• Hunt:
  • ConvertFrom-HuntAttributes - parses the above and returns the JSON output below (or as an ordered dict if passed -Object)
  • Get-HuntAllMmr - returns a list of teams and players in the game and their MMR.
  • Get-HuntTeamMmr - returns a list of only the players on your team and their MMR.
  • Get-HuntAttributes - returns an array of XmlElements from attributes.xml. Only useful if you want the raw data for some reason.
  • 2x helper functions which are not exported
• Steam:
  • Get-SteamDirectory - returns Steam install dir as directory object
  • Get-SteamName - returns last logged in Steam display name
  • Get-ValueFromValveFile - returns the value of a specific key from an .vcf or .acf
  • Get-SteamLibraries - returns an array of your Steam library folders as directory objects
  • Get-SteamAppDirectory - returns the install dir of a specific Steam AppID as a directory object

How

1. Download HuntToolkit.psm1
2. Import the module into your Powershell session a. If stored in an $env:PSModulePath location it will automatically import b. If storing somewhere else, either:
   • call Import-Module "path\to\module\HuntToolkit.psm1" before every run
   • add the above command to your Powershell profile (location is stored as $profile) and relaunch
3. Run ConvertFrom-HuntAttributes, and enjoy your JSON.

To-do

• Complete ConvertFrom-HuntAttributes:
  • Include real number of revives
  • Add number of bounty tokens extracted
  • Add clues discovered
  • Work out how to tell match length
  • Find out more MissionBagEntry_<i>_reward types (including Blood Bonds)
  • Fix XP received calculation (but this is quite obtuse)
    • Validate current methods
• Function to write the data to storage
  • As an array of JSON objects, each representing a match (?)
• Function to monitor attributes.xml for changes
  • Possibly using FileSystemWatcher 'Changed' events
• Function to check whether the match data has changed (file is updated more frequently than after every match)
  • How do we do this? Check to see if a bunch of values are the same?
• Function to get the game install directory (using $SteamInstallDir\steamapps\libraryfolders.vdf?)
• Maybe something to plot a couple of quick graphs (MMR distribution of players in last match, your MMR over time, etc)

Current data structure

The output of ConvertFrom-HuntAttributes, when run without the -Object flag, is rendered into JSON like so:
