I'm going to attempt to write a build code parser in wiki to display details about a character's build from the chat link base64 data.

  • It might help to have a base64 decoder so I can examine the hexadecimal values. While the profession seems consistent interpreting the base64 directly it's obvious that the base64 bitpacking is offsetting otherwise important details. Proof of concept, anyhow.
  • Mayhaps there is a QueryPage type implementation I could source when I do access the data?
  • Since it's rebased data could I select a range by base to determine value like a {{#if: 08 | {{#expr {{#var: @data }} >> 1 }} ...
  • Okay after studying how wiki's work I've determined that my biggest road block is decoding the base64 to base16 otherwise I can make inferences only. I'm curious if there's a fractional way to access the data with the #expr templates. Javascript or API call?
