Offline Access to Battles...

Never noticed this before but if you wanna see what's happening without running the client - a handy Battlefield Map!

I had a go at building a web-app that would pull all the battlefield map together, so you didnt have to click on each one..

However the Wardb developer used a load of JS functions and stuff..       I kind of got it working but it wasn't pretty!

I'll go back to it this weekend..

I've got my own hosting, so i'll shove it on there.

I'll update this thread, when done

sounds good - now all we need is a widget that sumarises things.  Doable?

[Envicta]

Well the Javascript solution does output the table on the right hand side of the battleground map.

Potentially that can be extracted and could form the basis of a Widget ..

Here's your widget - widget

Here is a buggy version!

Did this last night,   when I get back today i'll sort it by Tier,  try and fix the locations of BO's and make it a lot more pretty

Ta,

Ok i've messed about with it and i've got it sorted by TIER.

I've reduced the map size to make it clearer to read.

The BO's are still slightly buggy and its a bitch to fix..

I'll keep working on it!

Any suggestions or chances,  please shout

[Warcold]

Very cool! 

Only dont understand why scenarios are there too?

[Envicta]

I have no idea why Scenario maps appear..

I'm taking a pure copy of everything that WARDB.com throws out..

Edit: I've removed them

[Jeremiah]

This is impressive piece of intelligence gathering

[Mangala]

This is epic - seriously.

I like how its sorted now.

I take it that it grabs data from WARDB, which is based on people using the wardb profiler to upload on loggoffs/crashes etc and no doubt has a time between refreshes?

Either way, again amazing work

I can always host this if you need the space - most likely on the handsofjustice.co.uk section of my package

[Envicta]

Ta,

It rips off the JavaScript libraries off the WARDB site,  but its got some unusual bugs..      I've noticed some zones disappearing randomly!

I think WARDB is completely dynamic, so it'll take account of any chances the second they are updated via Curse-client,  however you need to refresh page to see this change.

I want to go further now,    I'm going to develop another version of this App which will write store the statistics to a database,  polled every 5 minutes or so..

This will give us an idea of trends in when Keeps are captured,  which are popular,  which arent..     

It'll also give us an indication of any weekly schedules that Destruction guilds might be employing right now..

As far as hosting,  I pay for the hosting as part of my Web-development company, so if anything..    I can take on any hosting tasks that you're currently paying for if you wish!

Ta,

Envicta.

Superb, I'd like to see the guts of that. Not that I understand JS and PHP, but I'd get the drift I'm sure. Really really good, nice work.

[Envicta]

And for my next trick ...

Like my new signature?

Its a dynamically created JPEG,  based on statistics from WARDB

I made it the same length as the other signatures

More tricks to come!! 

Addition:  Left-side shows split between Order/Destro,  based on BO=1 point & Keep=3 points and doing percentage total.
