Hi there!

Recently I want to try out a new hideout, share by another player.
My current hideout is also a shared one - but with a lot of edits afterwards.
And I run into the same as of last time I imported a shared hideout:

"
Damn, now copy&paste every unowned decoration again to buy them :(


This was annoying, and I searched a way/tool to do this faster ... unfortunately there was no one.
Well, as software developer I tend to do less to get more, so i just crafted a little tool for this.
In the end I polished it a bit, and hey ... it maybe can be helpful for others too :)

So I am releasing this (under a very creative name):

------------------------------------------------
Path of Exile Hideout Helper

This small tool helps you to import shared Hideouts from other Users by automating decoration search for masters.

- It shows you detailed information from a shared hideout. (Used Decorations, Favor cost, Level per master)
- If you also provide a file with decorations you own, everything you own will be highlighted.
- An overlay helps you to buy needed decorations fast and easy.
- (Should) support all game languages (Not tested all)

How exactly dose it work

To import a hideout you need the shared file and all decoration. If you import the hideout, the game will ignore all decorations you don't have.
If you now export this "unfinished" hideout, you can compare both file and know exactly what you are missing.

This tool takes this list, grouped by Master, and shows every single item you need to buy. It copies the name of the item into the clipboard and just do CTRL+F and CTRL+V. You need to look for the highlighted item and buy it yourself. (Everything else would violate the ToS of the game!)

That's it, press next on the overlay (or the hotkey) and do this until you are done. No more single item Copy&Paste. Just looking and clicking :)

I hope its helpful :)
If you have any questions/suggestions you can write me.
If you try the tool and find bugs you can file them at GitHub to have them collected (and fixed :D)
