Data-Steel: Exteel Information Website

Dump of random things.

Skill mirror
I took and fixed a small problem from the old mirror of Mrnjau site. Pretty sure those skill values are right. The previous values were old skill values from back at the beginning of 2009. It does not have the new booster skill though. New skill does 300 damage in case you were wondering.

As you probably have noticed, weapons have changed. The general trend is if that you were using anything other than shield, spears, SMGs, or rockets, then your damage was probably nerfed. Exceptions include IB-S which does about the same damage as an Annihilator. Penetrator-A might also have been buffed significantly. No clear collection of the new damage yet though. Shotguns and rifles were nerfed pretty hard. Cannons went down slightly in damages. Most rectifiers lost heals as well except for the WaveStream-S which was not changed. Hitboxes and reticles for a few weapon changed as well.

A small test
A more detailed explanation is in the link. Basically, Exteel does not need the Launcher to run. Assuming the Exteel folder is current, then Exteel should run from any computer as long as Exteel and GG can start. But I need some more testing. Basically, I am trying to get an alternative of using the Launcher installer which screws up for some people. Would also make troubleshoot problems easier. Help out if you can.

Finally, I was planning a redesign of the website but I lost my flashdrive which pretty much had most of the work on. We will see if I can work up the desire to start from scratch again.

This is a database and website for the game Exteel. Exteel is a third-person action game with a focus on PvP action. It is free to play and download but there are some items that can be bought with real world money through Paypal, credit cards, and Exteel gamecards.

In terms of site features, there are three main parts.

Part(s) Lookup - This part of the site allows you to look up and compare various parts and weapons. Tables are sortable by column.
Weapon Set(s) Lookup - This section is vary similar to Part(s) Lookup except you are comparing weapon set. It shows some basic calculated stats as well.
Mech(s) Builder/Comparer - This section will allow you create up to 5 mechs and compare their stats. The table are sortable like the other modes. Additionally, you can input your pilot bonuses for a more accurate mech builds. There are also clone buttons that copies a mech slot to two other mech slots.

Acknowledgements:

In giving thanks, I got to thank Darxio and Garick for helping me with the data. Darxio worked a lot on formulas and even bought Jaywalker legs. Garick helped me a bunch when I needed to just ask coding questions and ideas. He also recommended using PHP Session vars which are used extensively for the mech builder.

I also need to thank Aramynthia for answering my more specific PHP and MYSQL questions as well as giving suggestions about new things I should look into.

I also need to thank Zode and Terro for giving me some screenshots of the Exteel ingame interface so I could make the website more similiar to the game in terms of presentation. I also bounced a lot of ideas off of Zode.

Finally, I would like to thank DanMK for making the first Exteel DB. When it went down, I started planning for my own because it showed me the potential of a good mech DB.
