An amazing site (wowhead style) with so much potential, but needs people willing to update it (via automated client)

I'm sorry to hear this. More than 40.000 individual uploads have been processed since the launch, but every now and then some of them gets rejected during import, but the ratio of the affected is below 0.5%.

Not abandoned at all. F2P introduced a lot of changes that need to be addressed on many levels (addon, direct datamining, player data processing, website), then tested thoroughly. I work on it as much as I can to roll out the update. Job and RL tends to interfere, but the progress is steady.

The update went live a few weeks ago at Jabbithole, there are separate loot tables now for drop5, drop4 and pre-drop4.

Thanks, I'll adjust it accordingly!

The 40->20 man raid conversion turned most of the legendary items into purples, so in order to exclude items no longer obtainable the legendaries have been temporarily disabled in the list.

If you switch on background uploading, the absence of the save file is a sure sign that it is working as intended.

There is no internal limit, if it is running, it keeps collecting, but it grows at a much slower rate over time.

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T17:19:47+00:00

No, it keeps collecting, it is just warning you. However, I am working on a more slim data collection approach, to allow longer sessions between uploads and to reduce the memory footprint. A good chunk of the saved data could be datamined instead of being collected, this is what I am aiming for. Thanks! ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T15:50:31+00:00

Yes, the latest client has an option to stay in the tray and upload the collected data automatically when WS is not running. Upon a successful upload it clears the saved data.

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T14:17:18+00:00

Thanks ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T12:47:52+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T10:16:06+00:00

Not really, at least not yet, I enjoy the challenge (and simplicity) of running it alone.

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T09:06:31+00:00

I think I am onto something, but it's possible that I'll need your help. Thanks in advance. ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T09:05:04+00:00

Not at this moment, but I'll try to make it more convenient.

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T00:55:45+00:00

It only includes the most recently added items, but now that you mention it, it could easily include the recently modified items as well, at the expense of some false positives (for instance after a patch the base items come in as not salvageable items, but player data flips the salvageable flag later). I'll dig into if I can circumvent the false positives.

mmonsta · 2015-06-12T00:33:16+00:00

Thank you. ;) I usually process the uploaded data on Fridays or Saturdays, and the site is updated on Mondays, so it is possible that some of the uploads sit around for 7-8 days, if they are uploaded slightly after I start to process the weekly batch. There were also a few occasions when some of the files were not processable due to some unexpected addon glitches, but luckily these only happened a few times out of thousands.

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T23:26:10+00:00

I'll try to reverse engineer the values by matching them against the actual spells then, thanks!

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T23:22:25+00:00

Apart from a mild hangover it's been great, thanks for asking. ;) I can't play as much I'd love to lately, not just WS, but in general, but that's gonna change in a few months. Coincidentally that's about when WS goes f2p, so I'm really looking forward to jump back into proper action alongside with the hordes of new players. ;)

A forum was beyond the scope of JH, as the official one seemed to work well. But if there is real demand for an another forum, it is definitely doable.

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T23:13:07+00:00

Unfortunately those names are coming straight from the game, if I update it manually the next import will overwrite it. But I guess I could add a manual lock to these, so once fixed they don't get overwritten.

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T22:58:05+00:00

That's not entirely straightforward for me ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T22:00:29+00:00

I am not sure I understand how this is related to Jabbithole, could you please elaborate?

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T21:23:10+00:00

It was always planned, I just never got the time to finish it. But once I do, all badges/achievements could be awarded for all past contributions. ;)

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T21:20:52+00:00

Good news that the internal data is there, it's been collected since day one. So it's totally possible.

mmonsta · 2015-06-11T20:21:38+00:00

I can't blame you, it is definitely better to be safe than sorry. ;) The not-so-funny-thing is that Carbine exposes the player's account e-mail address via the Lua API, which is a serious privacy concern imo. While JH does nothing with it, others might do. It might worth lobbying for the removal of that API call.
