Inspiration calculation tool [V 0.0.1] (Java 8 required)

Postby Cvazer » Tue Sep 08, 2015 1:48 am

Hey everyone! :D

I am fairly new to this game, so i encounter a lot of "newbie" problems. One of them was "finding a good inspirational to study". So, lest pretend i need 1500 T&N and 3200 S&C to learn new skill, i am going to wiki, looking for 1.5k inspirational, finding it in game and studying it. Then i look for 3.2k inspirational and discover, that this item can give me 1.5k T&N as well! So, all inspiration that i spend on previous item is lost =( This situation happened to me so many times, that i couldn't stand it anymore. So, i googled a bit and find no solution for this problem, and i make my own!

Now, after all that talking i can proudly present you my home made piece of software: "Inspirational calculation tool"! :D

So, basically, this program allows you to sort all the inspirational in game by given proficiencies. It take all it's data from table on wiki page, so it requires Internet connection to start out initially, and it will stay up to date until wiki is doing so.

Installation:

Just download file and unzip it to an empty folder. After unpacking you should see 1 jar file and 1 folder called "libs". JAR file wont work without "libs" folder! To run just double click jar file


How it works:

After loading program you will end up in main window. There you will see all inspirational in game. You can sort them by different parrams by double clicking column header. If you want to view inspirational, that match concrete parameters - you can click Edit - > Sorting Window... It will bring up sorting menu. There you can chose proficiency that you interested in from drop down menu, input maximum an minimal values, then click add button to include parameter to you filter. After inputing all params click "Sort" button, and table in main window will refresh itself to display only thous inspirational that matches your filter.
if you made a mistake while choosing your filters - you can remove them by clicking "Remove" button. If you click sort while filter is empty - table will display all inspirational again. If you want to include some proficiencies to the filter, but you don't care about minimal and maximum values - just live minmal value "1" and maximal "0". To close program click File -> Close or hit red cross ;)


Technical Part:

I am Java programmer, so i obviously use Java FX for GUI, Jsoup for scrapping from wiki table and apache common lang for string formating.


P.S

This program was made by me, when i was on day job (about 6 hours), So don't judge me hard :D It perfectly fits my needs, but if ppl will be interested in it - I'll keep development. So try it, and post your opinion here.

BTW English is not my native language, so forgive me my grammar :oops:
