Show HN: I made a tool that helps game modders (Spiral Knights)

https://github.com/Crowfunder/Cogmaster
1•crowfunder•4h ago
Hello, I'm Crowfunder,

For quite some time I've played around with making mods and modding tools for a certain game called Spiral Knights and we've built quite a community around it.

At some point I noticed how common are questions such as "where is model for item x" or "what color is the explosion of x". Usually, people who already tinkered with said things answered out of experience, alternatively you'd have to dig through game files to look for these things. Fortunately, all that info is stored in the game configs, which in order to view would normally require de-compiling with a specialized tool and reading through raw xmls - not very beginner-friendly.

And here it is - Cogmaster, an Open-Source, beginner-friendly Discord bot easing access of the most basic info about the game files, providing lookup of config entries, taking their parent-child relationships into account, as well as providing a service that reads translation keys into their values (and the other way round!)

Back-end written in SpringBoot, designed to reduce latency by resolving and caching all relationships on startup, local tests result in around 7ms lookup time per entry, with over 14000 parsed entries total. Discord Front-end written in C#, displaying some of the parameter values in human-friendly way.

Created with a team of amazing folks, any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
