With introduction of new mechanics in cooking that allows variable ingredients, we got hundreds if not thousands of new foods. There are probably a few enthusiasts that would like to collect these new data and put them in wiki. But the process is very tedious in two respects: typing up all info from food tooltip images, and converting all stats to q10 base. The task could be much more manageable if there were a tool to help with data collection.
For example, I collect inventory of foods, click a button, and stats of all food items are converted to q10 and appended to a CSV file. Can any of the Wizards' Tower experts make such an extension for their client?
I could also try to do it myself, but I need some advice to get started, since I never worked with client's code. Is it possible to write and compile a separate .class file that does the job, and make it somehow available from the client interface without recompiling the whole client? I've never worked on a big Java project, and the task of compiling the whole Hafen behemoth seems overwhelming.
Update 21-may-2017 I made a script for Prime client that prints stats of every food item in inventory, converted to q10. Text then can be copy-pasted into CSV file and opened in a spreadsheet software for further editing. Copy code hidden below into a file, for example "food_stats.js", put it into your Prime_client_folder/Scripts/ and launch from "Xtensions -> Prime Script Manager". It seems that Prime is not maintained anymore, but you can still use it if you character does not have Numen quests unlocked.
