Item Database

Hi there,

i just recognized that the current item database is quite confusing for me. :p

If i search for a PE PA for example i have to scroll and scroll and look very exact and sometimes i search for it with ctrl + f.

Put all armor in their section would make it way more better to find what you need or probably look for. The current state shows all powerarmors are mixed up together sorted by its TL. Not that easy to find what you need. :)

I would also like to see the armor more filtered in resistypes than for every single armorslot. For that you can sort them in stacks for their level 1-4. Would make it better to read in my opinion. If i search for like good firearmor i have to open windows for every armorslot. Quite annoying. :p

You can list them up just in type either. Kevlar - Carbon - Battle- Inquisition etc. and their requirements Int, Str, Dex or Psi (hmm there comes up a question: No Conarmor?).

Just put the armor together wich belongs together. :)

Hey there, thanks for the feedback. :)

Something you may not be aware of, you can sort the table, just click on the headers to sort by Fire,Xray etc.

Thinking about the arrangement the only reason why power armour, holovests and underwear are on one page is because you can only use of them at a time.

However in the case of power armour I see your point. If you are a PE, you are not going interested in Tank PA. So it does make sense to split these into their own groups.

I'll see if it can be changed easily. :)

Have a look at this for the power armour

http://www.techhaven.org/db/view/power-armour.html

Also the Armour links from http://www.techhaven.org/db/ have been split into Underwear, Holovests and power armour.

Let us know what you think. :)

The PA list looks very cool. Well done. :D

Split the Underwear into their requirement mainskill groups for a better overview than im fine. Holo PA link doesnt work.

Im still not satisfied with the current armor list. What about another filter whichs shows the itemtype itself like kevlar or duranium and split all those armor in their requirement main skillgroup either (I know its just STR and PSI + Intbelts but it would look way better).

edit: Btw joined date 2008 and just 2 posts? Im Pretty sure ive been longer around here and posted something in the past. :p

Ok the holo PA link should work again.

Looking at the other armour types and splitting them into groups. Don't see why it should be split by main skill and type, since kevlar belongs to STR and crahn stuff belongs to PSI. So maybe just split it by type.

Will think about it. 8)

edit:
Bugs:
- Armor for the neck: battle(r) Collar Prototype is listed as other types and not in the battle category
- Neck and belts got a wrong order. In my opinion it should be like on the links for the other armorslots

PSI
Carbon
Kevlar
Battle
Duranium
Inquisition
and down here the misc Armor like Intbelts ordered by its type so my eyes dont have to move if i search on another armorslot for the equal item. :)

They are not bugs, they are features! :p (j/k)

Fixed the battle(r) description since it looked wrong, so that is fixed.

As for the order, yeah it's jumping around a bit. I'll fix the order. This is the full list of groups.

Kevlar
Battle
PSI
Carbon
Inquisition
Duranium
Poison
Energy
Fire
Deflector
Recyclable
Ionic
Glasfibre
Krokydolith
Fesilicon
Carbonsilk
Other types

Feel free to suggest your own order.

I somehow saw this coming. :D Will try and break this by down by requirement for brain, heart, eyes and back boosters. (No point for hearts since they are all CON based already)

Ok the group order has been tweaked and fixed. The order starts with STR based armours first, then PSI then INT.

Also the new Group views for armour are now the defeult views. The old views where everyone is on one page are listed as (Ungrouped)

I like the new db organization, good job.

however it sems that the power armor doesnt show which smuggler or where to get it from anymore
