Thread: AOItems.com - Anarchy Online Items Database!

  1. #101

    Thumbs up

    Feedback on design:

    If you visit Auno, or AOUniverse or even the Arcanum site hosted by AODevs you will notice that:

    The First page you see is an information page with current updates on it, a bit of chatter and mention of current events and sidebars to other pages with relevant information to the name on the sidebar. This is done as to not overwhelm the senses of the first time user so that they feel comfortable to come back. Most ppl who play this game are not coders so they are used to clean simple user friendly designs.

    Choose a simple friendly colour scheme, Auno used just white, grey and black, Arcanum used basically black and blue, and AOUniverse used basically a uniformed flat matte green

    I have a suggestion for you. When I was studying to be a project manager, I went out and found practicums for myself that basically meant writing up a proposal and implementation for a network upgrade and then bringing in some fellow students(Network Engineers) to implement it. This is nothing new ofc and you may want to approach a college or art schools(some do teach computer graphic design) and ask to see of any students need a practicum. They are usually overseen by an instructor and they do get graded on them which means they take it seriously.

    So basically your looking for some front end DB design students. You could point them to some of the most popular sites as a starting point.

    Why do I say this? I like your site, but it looks too much like a defunct site that I found overwhelmed me when I visited it. Major reason why I avoided it. I think that's one of the reason's why it went defunct. My own opinion of course. I haven't visited your site in awhile but if you are indeed able to visit Auno comments then you have a potential popular site on your hands. I love the ease of use of Auno and the comments of the past users are a gold mine.

    One more suggestion please

    Is it possible you can point out which patches implemented the major game designs such as NTWars, AI, SL, Xan etc etc. I say this as when i search for noob stuff I get allot of information not relevant to my search and I don't know which were the major patches. So if i want to search pre AI and onward I would know which patch to query or if i just wanted to search AI I would be able to do that.

    Thanks for your time and your doing allot of work. I appreciate your efforts

    AOItems heuristics error

    Hi Demoder.

    I think you have a error in your heuristics to get the item groups (lowid, highid combinations)

    Example: 234612 (Pulsating Energy Maelstrom)

    There is an item 234611 (Pulsating Energy Maelstrom).
    I think you compare names and try to combine them then. But in this case all of these items have QL1 so you'll end up with a 500 server error. Probably because 1-1=0 -> leading to a Division by Zero error.

    Maybe you want to compare QL's before you try to combine them.

    Cya and thx for your work

    Thanks for the feedback! This problem seems to be related to some unreliable handling of spell criteria.

    I've updated the internal version of the site so that it doesn't error out like that, and will attempt to track down the actual error when time permits.

    I was JUST before finding this thread b*tching about aoitems lacking an equipment planner and Auno not showing me the correct values for QL25 Ofab Fixer armor (due to using an old DB dump?)! Great work, can't wait for that equipment planner.

    Could you please move that banner elsewhere ? It interferes when you want to compare two items to one another (or even the same item to it's other versions), since it makes the text on the whole page look misaligned when you ctrl+tab
    or... make a compare module

    Not really. But I can add a close button!

    The nano link in the first requirement is misaligned in firefox. (Screenshot)
    It's a problem that occurs when you put a float:right span inside a tag that also contains plain text.
    Putting the "Doesn't own nano" part into a float:left span would fix it.

    - Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

    Hi Demoder,
    My search skills have failed me but will there be an option which nano's you have/you're missing?

  13. #113
    Mawerick: I'll look into it. Thanks for the details!

    Tradeher: It's on the todo list, but it's not at the top right now.

    Updated database to 18.6.14 (Patch Notes, Item Changes).

    2014-07-23
    • Various bug fixes
    • ItemModule
      • Now displays "No Timer Notify" for nano programs. If this flag is set, the nano program should not affect/trigger the users 'cast bar'.
      • Removed NanoStrains widget, and created a new nano strain listing in the main view. This listing shows the nano strains and the cooldown time for each individual strain.
      • Added formatting for the "IsNpc" operator (criteria).

    Looks good but lacks features.
    keep up the good work, if you need any help just ask.
    I may not (have time to) play anymore but I do login once in a blue moon, and remember a few things that I have studied.
