Something which may really help out for new fish hunting. Determining the exact times a fish is up is tedious but most players use a process of elimination. So what is the tracker could treat upcoming windows in the same way. Instead of matching the conditions, it checks that the conditions aren’t met?

This feature by itself won’t be enough but I’ll address that as a separate issue.

Also this feature should not affect fish that don’t have the dataMissing field set.

This might not be as simple as it seems. The availability is very closely tied to the 8-hour weather pattern changes, so there's only supposed to be a single gap in time when the fish is down. At the moment, it sounds like the fish researchers are not prioritizing this, as they have their own spreadsheets for recording tested times and weathers. Also, since I added the CarbyUtils API to modify the conditions for a fish, any one is able to experiment with a fish's window at runtime.

VTC: spreadsheets to keep track of testing numbers + weather forecaster + carbyUtils cover all the testing needs.
