Hi all,

some of you have used the helpful tools Carebear provided to us at entropiatools and came to get used to them.

But now ET is down and Carebear has gone MIA, so instead of moaning about it I decided that this is a challenge to me. We have the technology!

Visit http://stickynote.info - you do not need to register to use it.

The first mission is to provide you with the tools that are lost with ET being down.

For now I finished a first test version of the inventory calculator and it will tell you the peauction and entropiabay MU values together with a TT summary of course.

Please tell me which tools you would want to have back next and I will try and see what I can do.
Also there are bound to be bugs, so feel free to PM me or put a description of them in here.

Mission Completion Overview
[ul]
[li]get an overview of all tools that were on entropiatools - [COLOR=“Green”]finished[/li][li]inventory calculator - [COLOR=“Blue”]beta version live[/li][li]inventory comparison - [COLOR=“Red”]n/a[/li][li]skill calculator (manual) - [COLOR=“red”]n/a[/li][li]skill calculator (CSV) - [COLOR=“red”]n/a[/li][li]skill calculator (entropedia) - [COLOR=“red”]n/a[/li][li]skill chip estimation - [COLOR=“Green”]just copy&paste from the old data[/li][li]weapon comparison - [COLOR=“red”]n/a (will be next)[/li][li]mining points - [COLOR=“red”]n/a (does anyone need this?)[/li][/ul]

The list above will be updated accordingly.
If anyone wants to reminisce you can find archived informations of the entropiatools here:
http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090306084049/http://www.entropiatools.com/

My progress in this will be depending on collecting a huge amount of informations and in this I will be dependent from all of you in the community.

A huge thank you to Dr.D.C. for providing entropiabay.com and also a huge thank you to peauction.com, without their data no MU information would be visible and this would just be another spreadsheet replacement.

I look forward to getting the mission accomplished.

Good luck everyone :slight_smile:

REQUEST FOR HELP:
A result page of this here http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20090227032910/http://www.entropiatools.com/avgdmgpec.php filled with some weapon results, preferrably more than one.

well, also entropedia can be one down down…

My goal is to have a website that is offering a service in a quality that people are willing to support it.
I expect to achieve that because 1) my server does not cost much so I don’t need huge donations and 2) I might just be good enough as coder so people will enjoy what I have to offer.
Should I fail to get enough support then I will take care that at least one other site gets the relevant parts of the code, to have it set up, before I shut down the site.

But first let me try if I might be able to offer a service that people will enjoy enough to give it a little support to :slight_smile:

I’ll vote for the weapon comparison tool too - it was immensely helpful in guiding your weapon path and best solutions for each level

I would love the weapon compare back, I found it very useful, and a great way to kill time at work.

12

sorry
but what the difference between the entropedia and the weapon compare of entropia tools???
i mean this last one used the info from entropedia as well right?

13

only difference is that entropedia is blocked at work, while entropia tools worked fine :slight_smile: .

other’s have told me that entropia tools was easier to use than entropedia too, but personally I don’t think either was better than the other.

14

Well for starters it will be on a different website with its own database.
So it will be available even when entropedia is down.
Also I will try to make it easy to use and understand, which in turn might result in the entropedia one to be improved.
Those are fighting words - I know - lets see if I am only full of smoke or if I can get it done :wink:

15

the main difference was usability.

the UI of the weapon compare tool was excellent.

the UI of entropedia for that particular funtionality (not to blame on the admin/developer, but on the wiki model itself, and its constraints), is far from the convenience of the entropiatools’ weapon compare tool, in my opinion.

The difference is in the interface and what you can compare how. One use of the weapon compare tool was to find out the eco of partial TT weapons at a specified markup, possibly paired to an amp. Another use is comparing the same or similar weapons with different amps. An interface where you explicitly add weapons and specify details has its advantages over one where you have to filter out.

OTOH, it lacked support for enhancers, and its mf part was not really updated to the new chips.

But I’d really like to have both styles be available.

18

liked the weapon compare most :frowning:

i am currently calculating that stuff myself with different markup etc.

in case you want my excel sheet or so let me know, although it isn’t that special
very easy formulas

19

I like the inventory tool, thank you.

Again ty for all the effort, its really nice someone steps up and make these thigns available again to the public :slight_smile:
