ASV (ARK Savegame Visualisier)

Admin / Trusted Player Tool - Game Save Visualiser

Just a quick post of my own instead of hijacking others and name-dropping a new tool I've been working on.

It's essentially my own UI which visualises some of the great work by others who have worked on parsing the save file data and providing "toolkits" for others to use.

The work was originally based on a java based utility called ark-tools which used ark-savegame-toolkit to output JSON text files which encouraged me to make something simple to list the information in master/detail grids.  For more information on his work check out his GitHub repository - https://github.com/Qowyn - Thanks for the inspiration @Qowyn

He was obviously an inspiration to others as his work was converted into a language I'm a LOT more familiar with and once again provided as a library/toolkit I could work with.  It's called the ARKSavegameToolkit and you can find out more information over at https://github.com/Flachdachs

I'm now aware that a similar project was undertaken called Larkator by @coldino so please feel free to check his work out - if I hadn't already started this before discovering his it would also have been a good influence.
