Could someone possibly write an in game journal LUA Mod?

Do not know if this is even possible, but could someone do a LUA mod, that allows us to read/write/edit a journal in game?

 

That would be great to take notes of where I want to mine, etc

 

something like this is very possible. lets get a bit more detail hashed out on what it might be...

Data:

Title
Text
Date/Time created
Date/Time updated
Scene?
Category? (maybe a customizable list)
Status? (a customizable list... could be things like working, completed, etc)
Coords where note was created?

Functionality:

Create
Edit
Delete
List
Search (title, text, date)
Filter (scene, category, status)

 

Kind of like the game's quest journal with collapsible entries for example
[Header+-] Mining locations....
[Body] Silver - Elysium
[Header+-] Buy Orders
[Body] Crossroads Alleys
[Header+-] Recipes
[Body] Arlia

 

That sounds perfect @Tirrag ! I think that sums up everything we could need for them.

 

Greetings all
Tirrag I think you have a lot of the needed fields but lets talk about how it will be used first. That will flesh out any more field we might need.

I would use a personal Journal for:
1. POI in scenes so I would need a Scene name, Coordinates, POI Name, and Description. This could be for nodes, mobs, Easter eggs, etc.
2. My lot or Vendor locations so I would need Scene Name, Coordinates, Lot owner name, Vendor Name. It would also be great if it could have Last time visited and a timer for lot expiration and Taxes but maybe to complicated.
3. A Notes tab for random notes taken while playing so I would need Categories (to be determined), Scene name, Description, Scrolling notes field.

I am sure there are many other uses for a personal Journal so lets hear some more ideas. To help with planning please try to mention the fields you would need to use. And thank you Tirrag for saying it is possible.
