ASV
ASV (ARK Savegame Visualizer)
This tool provides its own user interface for visualizing ARK save files and is based on existing open-source work for analyzing save files.
The foundation was originally ark-tools (Java) in combination with the ark-savegame-toolkit, which outputs save data as JSON. This led to the idea of presenting the information clearly in a master/detail view.
Later, the concept was further developed in other programming languages, such as through the ARKSavegameToolkit project (GitHub: Flachdachs). Similar projects like Larkator (GitHub: coldino) pursue comparable approaches.
The tool is intended as a complement to these existing solutions and makes their results accessible through its own, user-friendly interface.
