Is it possible that someone builds a script where people with it automatically send their best weapons/armor ratings to a central database and we figure out what the max-min values are for each weapon?
I was going to make exactly this, until I realised the API doesn't expose weapon/armor stats. It would be trivial to maintain a database with equipment stats, if only the data were available.
So.. I made a script that grabs weapon stats from display cases and sends them to a central server.. unfortunately, there's no good way to validate what is being sent so I cannot really share the script. For your viewing pleasure however, here is the page it generates:
Each weapon is attached with a weapon ID. The more hits made from separate accounts (verified with API) on that weapon, the more likely the weapon info is correct.
(And auto block users that incorrectly send information)
what if prox himself (or with a team) can manually verify (or randomly sample) uploaded stats? only the highest/lowest stats need to be verified, so it shouldn't be too much work, as prox is doing just that his forum thread already
Oooh, that's not a bad method, could certainly be done although I'm wondering if that's too much work for such a small project.
I could just give the script to Prox and let him distribute it to whomever he trusts enough and let them verify whenever someone makes a claim. (Much like Mike suggested) This would be similar to what he's currently doing anyway, just an automated process ^^
Hi that's really cool and each weapon should have three entries: highest accuracy, highest damage and highest score weapon which is ACC*DAM/100. Also the highest accuracy and damage weapon should include their score which again is ACC*DAM/100.
This should already be the case, each entry is a dropdown and reveals its contents when clicked. I'm currently showing the highest and lowest (green and red) for each weapon for damage, accuracy and total (using Prox's formula). Some weapons may hold multiple records meaning there could be between 1 and 6 weapons shown per weapon type.
That's some awesome work. It's not able to skim inventory's yet? I have thousands of low cost weapons. Probably a beauty in there, but too lazy to calc all 'totals'.
I can't say I would want to add such functionality to the script, but I'm happy to whip up something that will sort through your weapons and highlight whichever one has the best total (of its type). Here we go (please don't judge, it was quick):
Okay, updated this script a little to work (hopefully) across multiple pages of items. I don't have multiple pages of items to test it on, but in theory it should work :)
