Build an entity zoo with every entity and figure out what it does
Update the .ent files where nessecary
If an entity / family of entities looks like it'll be a lot of work, break it off into a child issue

Generated list of classnames with bsp_tool:

We should also add entities which get compiled into the map as special lumps (e.g. cubemaps & static props)
VDC: List of Hammer-only entitities
Quake3's misc_model is another useful one, used to compile model geometry into triangles embedded in the bsp

Respawn apparently managed to do visibility calculations for static prop occlusion, just look at Apex maps w/o props

NOTE: if you count static props, Titanfall maps can have thousands of entities
-- need to do some model lod switching, fade distance emulation or fade to model bounding boxes like Hammer

Helper code for keyvalues:

>>> e_k = functools.reduce(lambda a, b: a.union(b), [set(e.keys()) for bsp in r1m.entities for e in bsp.ENTITIES.search(classname="entity")])
>>> {print(x) for x in sorted(e_k)}
# list of entity keys
# compare base.fgd
# compare VDC
# compare Quake3 .ent
>>> e_k_vs = {e.get("key", "") for bsp in r1m.entities for e in bsp.ENTITIES.search(classname="entity")}
>>> print(sorted(e_k_vs)[-1])  # see what values look like to guess / confirm type

Generated a huge batch of .ent files over at snake-biscuits/bsp_tool_examples

Installation:

• Download .xml entity definitions:
• Change .xml extension to .ent
• Copy files to MRVN-radiant/gamepacks/TitanfallOnline.game/TitanfallOnline/

WARNING! Experimental! will replace default entities.ent! (make a backup just in case)

Feel free to try new entities & keys out
Please record what happens if you do (record as in take notes, doesn't have to be video)
I'll be mixing in the ents by @catornot & some of my manual additions at a later date
plus updating the generator (forcing inheritance, more interactive & analysis tools etc.)
but rn i gotta sleep
