About
- This converter is used to convert metadata from the online game Forge of Empires into wiki code for the FoE wiki
How to use
How to get the link

- Hit F12 to start the console/debugger and select the "network" tab
- enter the world (preferably beta)
- during the loading process, a number of files will pop up in the network window
- in the search field of the network window enter "meta"
- one of the files now listed has "city-entities" in it's name
- right-click that file and select "copy" and "copy link address"
- insert this link in the input field of the converter"
Get building data
- select a building from the drop-down
- the converter will now create a wiki-text - this wiki-text will be usable for:
- regular production buildings
- special buildings
- maybe other types in the future
- the wiki-text will be copied to the clipboard automatically and is only displayed for checking
- paste the text where needed on the wiki
Get building images
- when a building is selected from the drop down, related images will be displayed below the wiki-text field:
- The image of the building
- the images of the production options for production buildings
- images may be selected from the displayed list and moved into the download list
- when the download button is pressed, all images are compressed into a zip and are downloaded (to your download folder)
- in the zip, the images are named according to the wiki customs and only need to be uploaded to the wiki
adding new information
When a new age is added to the game, or a new resource, at least the basedata.js has to be amended. Therefore, download the whole project from github, change/add the data in basedata.js and run the project locally.
