New Pocketboss/Dynaboss/Symbiant database
New Pocketboss/Dynaboss/Symbiant database
Oki, so I have started this project, now I need all the help I can get
Now... what is this all about?
Well... AOPocket doesn't seem to ever be completed informationwise, so I decided it was time to make a new database of symbiants.
So far, I've coded the basic framework for it, and I have the basic tables up and running, with limited information in them.
You can see the result so far at http://project.u-h-s.org
I'm working on the data-input forms atm, but now I need help gathering all the data.
First of all, I need EVERY dynaboss in shadowlands mapped out, with the following information:
- Name (ofcourse)
- Aproximat level of dyna
- Playfield with general area and X/Y coordinates
- What pattern this specific dyna has dropped FOR YOU.
Then I need EVERY pocketboss mapped out with the following information:
- Name
- Level of pocketboss
- What Symbiant has dropped from this boss FOR YOU.
I know lot of this information can be found on AOPocket, but that information has also proven to be wrong in many cases.
So basicly, when you kill a dynaboss in shadowlands,or a pocketboss, I want you to do the send me information in the following format:
- Shift-F9 (copy/paste the infromation for coords etc.) for dynabosses.
- Vicinity loot message of patterns and symbiants dropped.
I will install forums on the project page soon for you to register and post the information on.
I will enter all the information into the databases myself, as I won't put to much work into the dataentry forms, since they will only be there while data is collected.

Ill see what info i can find for you mardonge
Its unfortunate but i once had a similar project, a bot to map out where to get pb patterns and drop rates but a hd failure took the sql database with it (learnt the hard way about backups lol)
The real trick is getting people to enter the info when they Dont get a drop so you can work out drop rates
GL to you, this is an awesome idea!

You want it made ..... See me
You want it broken ... See me
You want it fixed....... Send your hampster to FC

I've been thinking about doing some droprate statistics also, but that is on the bottom low on the priority list for now. The most important thing for me is to get confirmed and locations for all the symbiants and dynabosses.
When that data is complete, and the searchability of the db is on needed level, I'll have a look at drop statistics.

Well... I'm starting to get a fine "little" collection of pocketbosses already... If my IA is right.. I have almost 3 bags of complete blueprints atm... Any volenteer MP for crystals?Chrisax wrote:We needed some new PB parties, so that's an opportunity.
We have PBs in org bank.
I know some members have too.
I guess I can start making cystals.... plz other MPs help!
I could help with crystals im sure. Will double check if Bull can make 250 crystals will also apprehend someone to come with & fill them with the source as im sure Bull doent have the nano regen perk.
If its not broken, Your not trying hard enough!!

I was planning something like that, yes.
However, I have bumped into some small issues with the database I'm storing the information in, and have to redesign a littlebit before I put in more information. Not quite sure how big of a job that will be yet, since I'm at work atm.
The issue is this:
I got some information that SEEM to be reliable drop information on symbs, recorded over 2-3 years. Now.. I have always belived that one symb only drops from one pocketboss. This information shows otherwise though, so I have to redesign the db to take higth for that, and thus recoding the queries used to display the information on web.
While I'm on that task, I'm also taking into account the symbs that drops from dynas, such as below QL50 symbs in Nascence and symbiants from TNH, and I'm also icluding confirmation records on every entry in the database to easier find back to the source I got confirmation from (and the date).
This doesn't have to interfear with the pb party at all, since I can just keep the notes in notepad while working though, but it may keep me a bit more busy than I really wanted to be before the weekend.
ALSO!!!
Keep in mind that Saturday 17th of May is norwegian constitutional day, and MOST norwegians are out celebrating until late nights that day (and the night before) :p
