Data Model Mapping

Role Information

ToU-stats Implementation

// Storage
internal class PlayerRoleInfo
{
    public string PlayerName { get; set; }
    public string Role { get; set; }  // Formatted string with colors
    public int PlayerId { get; set; }
    public string Platform { get; set; }
    public PlayerStats Stats { get; set; }
}

// Population (from Role.RoleHistory)
foreach (var role in Role.RoleHistory.Where(x => x.Key == playerControl.PlayerId))
{
    if (role.Value == RoleEnum.Crewmate)
    {
        playerRole += "<color=#...>Crewmate</color> > ";
    }
    // ... hundreds of lines of if/else for each role
}

// Extraction (string parsing with regex)
private static string ExtractMainRole(string roleString)
{
    var parts = roleString.Split('>');
    for (int i = 0; i < parts.Length; i++)
    {
        if (parts[i].Contains("</color"))
        {
            var role = parts[i].Replace("</color", "").Trim();
            return role;
        }
    }
    return "Unknown";
}

ToU Mira Implementation

// Storage (from GameHistory)
public static readonly List<KeyValuePair<byte, RoleBehaviour>> RoleHistory = [];

// Population (automatic via MiraAPI)
GameHistory.RegisterRole(player, role);

// Extraction (direct access)
private static List<string> ExtractRoleHistory(byte playerId)
{
    var roles = new List<string>();

    foreach (var roleEntry in GameHistory.RoleHistory.Where(x => x.Key == playerId))
    {
        var role = roleEntry.Value;

        // Skip ghost roles
        if (role.Role is RoleTypes.CrewmateGhost or RoleTypes.ImpostorGhost)
            continue;

        roles.Add(ExtractRoleName(role));
    }

    return roles;
}

private static string ExtractRoleName(RoleBehaviour role)
{
    var name = role.GetRoleName();
    return StripColorTags(name);
}

Key Differences:

• ✅ ToU Mira: Type-safe role objects instead of strings
• ✅ ToU Mira: Automatic role registration via MiraAPI
• ✅ ToU Mira: No massive if/else chains
• ✅ ToU Mira: Built-in localization support

---

Modifier Information

ToU-stats Implementation

// Extraction from formatted role string
private static List<string> ExtractModifiers(string roleString)
{
    var modifiers = new List<string>();

    if (roleString.Contains("Giant")) modifiers.Add("Giant");
    if (roleString.Contains("Button Barry")) modifiers.Add("Button Barry");
    if (roleString.Contains("Aftermath")) modifiers.Add("Aftermath");
    // ... 20+ more if statements
    if (roleString.Contains("Satellite")) modifiers.Add("Satellite");

    return modifiers;
}

ToU Mira Implementation

// Direct access via MiraAPI modifier system
private static List<string> ExtractModifiers(byte playerId)
{
    var modifiers = new List<string>();

    var player = PlayerControl.AllPlayerControls.FirstOrDefault(x => x.PlayerId == playerId);
    if (player == null) return modifiers;

    var playerModifiers = player.GetModifiers<GameModifier>()
        .Where(x => x is TouGameModifier || x is UniversalGameModifier);

    foreach (var modifier in playerModifiers)
    {
        modifiers.Add(modifier.ModifierName);
    }

    return modifiers;
}

Key Differences:

• ✅ ToU Mira: Direct API access instead of string parsing
• ✅ ToU Mira: Automatically includes all modifiers
• ✅ ToU Mira: No maintenance burden when adding new modifiers
• ✅ ToU Mira: Type-safe modifier objects

---

Statistics Tracking

ToU-stats Implementation

// Extracted from role object
var player = Role.GetRole(playerControl);
if (player != null)
{
    playerStats.TotalTasks = player.TotalTasks;
    playerStats.TasksCompleted = player.TotalTasks - player.TasksLeft;
    playerStats.Kills = player.Kills;
    playerStats.CorrectKills = player.CorrectKills;
    playerStats.IncorrectKills = player.IncorrectKills;
    playerStats.CorrectAssassinKills = player.CorrectAssassinKills;
    playerStats.IncorrectAssassinKills = player.IncorrectAssassinKills;
}

// Then parsed from formatted string with regex
if (roleString.Contains("Tasks:"))
{
    var tasksMatch = Regex.Match(roleString, @"Tasks: (\d+)/(\d+)");
    if (tasksMatch.Success)
    {
        stats.TasksCompleted = int.Parse(tasksMatch.Groups[1].Value);
        stats.TotalTasks = int.Parse(tasksMatch.Groups[2].Value);
    }
}

ToU Mira Implementation

// Direct access from GameHistory
private static PlayerStatsNumbers GetPlayerStats(byte playerId)
{
    var stats = new PlayerStatsNumbers();

    // From GameHistory.PlayerStats dictionary
    if (GameHistory.PlayerStats.TryGetValue(playerId, out var playerStats))
    {
        stats.CorrectKills = playerStats.CorrectKills;
        stats.IncorrectKills = playerStats.IncorrectKills;
        stats.CorrectAssassinKills = playerStats.CorrectAssassinKills;
        stats.IncorrectAssassinKills = playerStats.IncorrectAssassinKills;
    }

    // From GameHistory.KilledPlayers
    stats.Kills = GameHistory.KilledPlayers.Count(x =>
        x.KillerId == playerId && x.VictimId != playerId);

    // From player data
    var player = PlayerControl.AllPlayerControls.FirstOrDefault(x => x.PlayerId == playerId);
    if (player != null)
    {
        stats.TotalTasks = player.Data.Tasks.Count;
        stats.TasksCompleted = player.Data.Tasks.Count(x => x.Complete);
    }

    return stats;
}

Key Differences:

• ✅ ToU Mira: Centralized statistics dictionary
• ✅ ToU Mira: No regex parsing needed
• ✅ ToU Mira: Multiple data sources (GameHistory, player data)
• ✅ ToU Mira: More accurate kill tracking

---

Team/Faction Determination

ToU-stats Implementation

private static string DetermineWinningTeam(List<PlayerRoleInfo> localPlayerRoles)
{
    var winners = localPlayerRoles.Where(p => IsPlayerWinner(p.PlayerName)).ToList();

    if (!winners.Any()) return "Unknown";

    var firstWinner = winners.First();
    var role = ExtractMainRole(firstWinner.Role);

    if (IsImpostorRole(role)) return "Impostors";
    if (IsCrewmateRole(role)) return "Crewmates";
    if (IsNeutralRole(role)) return "Neutrals";

    return "Unknown";
}

private static bool IsImpostorRole(string role)
{
    var impostorRoles = new[] { "Impostor", "Grenadier", "Janitor", ... };
    return impostorRoles.Any(r => role.Contains(r));
}

private static bool IsCrewmateRole(string role)
{
    var crewRoles = new[] { "Crewmate", "Altruist", "Engineer", ... };
    return crewRoles.Any(r => role.Contains(r));
}

ToU Mira Implementation

private static string DetermineWinningTeam()
{
    // Use GameHistory.WinningFaction if available
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(GameHistory.WinningFaction))
    {
        return GameHistory.WinningFaction;
    }

    // Fallback: Check winner records
    var winners = EndGamePatches.EndGameData.PlayerRecords.Where(x => x.Winner).ToList();

    if (!winners.Any()) return "Unknown";

    var firstWinner = winners.First();

    return firstWinner.Team switch
    {
        ModdedRoleTeams.Crewmate => "Crewmates",
        ModdedRoleTeams.Impostor => "Impostors",
        ModdedRoleTeams.Neutral => "Neutrals",
        ModdedRoleTeams.Custom => "Custom",
        _ => "Unknown"
    };
}

Key Differences:

• ✅ ToU Mira: Uses existing WinningFaction tracking
• ✅ ToU Mira: Type-safe team enum
• ✅ ToU Mira: No hardcoded role lists
• ✅ ToU Mira: Supports custom teams

Integration Points

Harmony Patch Integration

ToU-stats Implementation

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(AmongUsClient), nameof(AmongUsClient.OnGameEnd))]
public class OnGameEndPatch
{
    public static void Postfix(AmongUsClient __instance, EndGameResult endGameResult)
    {
        AdditionalTempData.clear();

        foreach (var playerControl in PlayerControl.AllPlayerControls)
        {
            // Build player role info...
            AdditionalTempData.playerRoles.Add(new AdditionalTempData.PlayerRoleInfo()
            {
                PlayerName = playerName,
                Role = playerRole,
                PlayerId = playerControl.PlayerId,
                Platform = "PC",
                Stats = playerStats
            });
        }
    }
}

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(EndGameManager), nameof(EndGameManager.SetEverythingUp))]
public class EndGameManagerSetUpPatch
{
    public static void Postfix(EndGameManager __instance)
    {
        // Skip HideNSeek
        if (GameOptionsManager.Instance.CurrentGameOptions.GameMode == GameModes.HideNSeek)
            return;

        // Send to API (async)
        _ = Task.Run(async () =>
        {
            await AdditionalTempData.SendGameDataToApi();
        });

        // Build UI...

        // Delay clear to allow async task to copy data
        _ = Task.Delay(1000).ContinueWith(_ => AdditionalTempData.clear());
    }
}

ToU Mira Implementation

// Existing patch - already builds EndGameData
[HarmonyPatch(typeof(AmongUsClient), nameof(AmongUsClient.OnGameEnd))]
[HarmonyPostfix]
public static void AmongUsClientGameEndPatch()
{
    BuildEndGameData();  // Already populates EndGameData.PlayerRecords
}

// Modified patch - add export call
[HarmonyPatch(typeof(EndGameManager), nameof(EndGameManager.Start))]
[HarmonyPostfix]
public static void EndGameManagerStart(EndGameManager __instance)
{
    // Existing UI code
    BuildEndGameSummary(__instance);

    // NEW: Trigger async export
    if (GameOptionsManager.Instance.CurrentGameOptions.GameMode != GameModes.HideNSeek)
    {
        _ = GameStatsExporter.ExportGameDataBackground();
    }
}

Key Differences:

• ✅ ToU Mira: Uses existing EndGameData infrastructure
• ✅ ToU Mira: No manual data collection needed
• ✅ ToU Mira: No delay/clear timing issues
• ✅ ToU Mira: Cleaner separation of concerns

---

Data Persistence and Timing

ToU-stats Approach

Problem: Data collected in OnGameEnd, but cleared before SetEverythingUp completes

Solution:

1. Copy data locally in async task
2. Delay clear by 1 second
3. Hope async task finishes copying in time

public static async Task SendGameDataToApi()
{
    // COPY data immediately
    var localPlayerRoles = new List<PlayerRoleInfo>(playerRoles);
    var localOtherWinners = new List<Winners>(otherWinners);

    // Process local copies...
}

// In EndGameManagerSetUpPatch
_ = Task.Delay(1000).ContinueWith(_ => AdditionalTempData.clear());

Issues:

• ⚠️ Race condition if export takes > 1 second
• ⚠️ Data duplication in memory
• ⚠️ Brittle timing dependency

ToU Mira Approach

Solution: MiraAPI's EndGameData is persistent until next game

private static bool ValidateExportData()
{
    // Data remains available throughout export
    if (EndGamePatches.EndGameData.PlayerRecords == null ||
        EndGamePatches.EndGameData.PlayerRecords.Count == 0)
    {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Advantages:

• ✅ No race conditions
• ✅ No data copying needed
• ✅ No timing dependencies
• ✅ Cleaner architecture

---

Configuration Management

ToU-stats Implementation

private static async Task<ApiConfig> ReadApiConfig()
{
    var config = new ApiConfig();

    try
    {
        // Check game directory
        var gameDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
        var configFilePath = Path.Combine(gameDirectory, "ApiSet.ini");

        if (!File.Exists(configFilePath))
        {
            // Check Documents/TownOfUs
            var documentsPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
            var towFolder = Path.Combine(documentsPath, "TownOfUs");
            Directory.CreateDirectory(towFolder);
            configFilePath = Path.Combine(towFolder, "ApiSet.ini");
        }

        if (File.Exists(configFilePath))
        {
            var lines = await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(configFilePath);
            // Parse lines...
        }
        else
        {
            // Create default config
            await File.WriteAllTextAsync(configFilePath, defaultConfig);
        }

        return config;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        PluginSingleton<TownOfUs>.Instance.Log.LogError($"Error: {ex.Message}");
        return config;
    }
}

ToU Mira Implementation

Same approach, but with improvements:

public static async Task<ApiConfig> ReadConfigAsync()
{
    var config = new ApiConfig();

    try
    {
        // Use iterator pattern for search paths
        foreach (var configPath in GetConfigSearchPaths())
        {
            if (File.Exists(configPath))
            {
                Logger<TownOfUsPlugin>.Info($"Reading config from: {configPath}");
                var lines = await File.ReadAllLinesAsync(configPath);
                config = ParseIniFile(lines);
                return config;
            }
        }

        // Create default in last search path
        var defaultPath = GetConfigSearchPaths().Last();
        await CreateDefaultConfigAsync(defaultPath);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Logger<TownOfUsPlugin>.Error($"Error reading config: {ex.Message}");
    }

    return config;
}

private static IEnumerable<string> GetConfigSearchPaths()
{
    yield return Path.Combine(GetGameDirectory(), ConfigFileName);
    yield return Path.Combine(GetDocumentsPath(), "TownOfUs", ConfigFileName);
}

Improvements:

• ✅ Cleaner code structure
• ✅ Separated parsing logic
• ✅ Better error handling
• ✅ More maintainable
