Functions

M.process(vehicle)

Walks all dict-type sections in vehicle data. For any numeric property whose key starts with "scale" (detected via byte comparison), multiplies the corresponding base property (key without the "scale" prefix) by the scale value, then removes the scale key.

• Parameters:
  • vehicle - table - Assembled vehicle data
• Returns: self (module table, for chaining)

Internal Notes

• Example: { beamSpring = 1000, scalebeamSpring = 2.0 } → { beamSpring = 2000 }.
• Uses an iterative stack-based traversal (not recursive function calls) for performance.
• Skips sections listed in jbeamUtils.ignoreSections (maxIDs, options).
• The "scale" prefix is detected by checking bytes 1-5 equal to s,c,a,l,e and byte 6 exists.
• Runs after jbeamGroups.process in the pipeline.
