Archived: Vehicle Filename Parsing

Referenced from base\appearances_mappings.json, base\vehicles\vehicle_filename_parsing.json contains a regex string is defined that outlines the allowable file names for .ent files (play around with this regex here):

(?:v_)?([a-zA-Z]+|av)\d?_([a-zA-Z]+)_(?:[a-zA-Z]+(?:_[a-zA-Z]+)*)__(?:int|ext)\d{2}_([a-zA-Z]+(?:_[a-zA-Z]+)*)_\d{2}.*\.ent

For a filename like v_sport2_mizutani_shion__ext01_body_01.ent, this would match the following groups:

• Group 1: sport

• Group 2: mizutani

• Group 3: body

Group 3 has no mapping, is of the type partType.

Curiously, this regex doesn't work for vehicles such as the Type 66, or the 911, since numbers aren't permitted in Group 2. It's unknown if this is even used, or if there is replacing done at some point.
