Very nice work ! i can imagine this would blend perfectly with my price list project:
http://katanak.targend.com
Check out the projects page.

and topic here
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3009350

The DPL webpage will be in php and access the data from a mysql database.

If you can get your prog to upload a text file with the data via FTP every couple of minutes then it wouldnt be difficult to include the data on the webpage.

Sign up on the forums if you want to chat about collaberateing this could be the ultimate price list.

another question what program did you use to find the memory locations ?. As i tried loading up t-search but it crashed so i assumed they used anti-debugging code.

Nice idea if connected with a major forum such as guru.

That is pretty sweet LAMS3K. One thing I don't get is that you said it checked every 5 minuts and autologged it but the time doesn't match up. At the beginning it logged the time at 10 13 53 then 10 23 19 for a difference of 9 minutes and 26 seconds.

Would it be possible to come up with a program that can take this info and display it as a real time line graph and be able to change the price history. So the price would be your y value and the time your x value. You can then (in an input box below the graph) input the timeline you would like to see (past hour in increments of 5 minutes or the past 5 hours in increments of 1/2 hours).

Oops. I typed in 500 seconds instead of 300. So I guess it is closer to every 9 mins.

I used t-search to play around in the memory and find the addresses. I found that whenever the Rare Material window is opened all the variables in it are dynamically allocated. So I had to write something similar to t-search in my program.

We are first going to get a site up with tables and figure out how to make this fail-safe. Then Tainek and I will look over features.

Some data from a test earlier today. I can only get it to run for four hours and then GW gives an error. I have to edit my code. Anyways, attached is a zip file containing an htm(webpage) file. S=Sell B=Buy, when S is red the sell price went down, green is up. For B red means up and green means down. I did not get to see what error GW gave thanks to, lambda the great for turning off the computer.

The actual web interface allows for columns to be hidden and time offsets are allowed so one can convert the time to their timezone. It also allows looking at the buy&Sell/Buy/Sell prices alone.

Wouldn't it make more since to have both S and B red when the cost go down to prevent confusion.

No, both Buy and Sell can change without affecting the other. If you look at the Ectoplasm column you can see that the buy price went up to 7500 and the sell price stayed a constant 5500.

Gotcha

This project is quite far from dead. The price grabbing program now works correctly, even when items go out-of-stock or other nusiances. This problem required a complete rewrite of the software. Most of the utilites are complete. Web page layout has been approved. CGI programs that work with the data are being debugged.

Currently working on:

Web pages, finalizing them for use with the CGI programs.
Theme
Fixing problems/bugs that arise if the CGI programs do not work with one another properly.

As for the name, it is abbreviated: C.S.E. Good luck guessing, so long as Tainek does not spoil it. Although he came up with it.

The next report will probably not be posted until just before or at release.

ETA: None yet

Attached is data from May 15th 2006. This is the raw data view, i.e. no analysis has been done. Time is GMT. This data is in an HTML format.

Alias_X · May 18, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

This would be extremely useful! In fact, my other computer is broken atm, and the one I am posting from can't run GW. I am dying to know the current price of Superior Absorbtion... can anyone pm me with it?

*chuckle*

i'd forgotton all about this thread

Yeah the projects coming on really well, we were almost ready to release until we hit a few speedbumps, and lams3k needed to re-write most of the backing code (the guys done so much more work than i have heh)

shouldnt be long now guys

Robin_Anadri · May 18, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

You guys are geniuses. This rocks.

LAMS3K · May 21, 2006, 02:35 PM // 14:35

I've almost finished the comparison data, here is a screenshot.

Features that you don't notice:

You can select which items you want displayed. I have them all select in the screenshot.

Times can be converted to just about any timezone. GMT-7 in the screenshot.

I need feedback on this. What do you think of the layout? Is it easy to understand? Is color scheme pleasing? Should any other statistics be calculated?

I would also like to see feature suggestions. It is far easier to put extra features in now than after releasing. If you would like to help with this in some way, i.e. data collector, data analysis, discussion moderator, maintainence, others I can't think of at the moment, contact me or Tainek. PM, E-Mail, Whisper, etc.

ETA: I'm going to allow at least a month. So, release in probably less than one month.

Note: In the screenshot only May 15 is good data. Everything else came before the advanced error handling was implemented.

Hello, I am wondering about the status of this project. I have been entering the data into a spreadsheet manually in irregular intervals and your program seems to be exactly what I am looking for.

LAMS3K · Aug 11, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

The current status: Finished, but waiting

All the software and web pages for the project are completed. Just waiting on Tainek to get the computers running the software and a webserver. He's a procrastinator

Yeah, im an aweful procastinator, took a break from the game, only got back in a few weeks ago, need to find a solution for webhosting (Difficult as i have no source of income at the moment) and its set

Tetris L · Sep 06, 2006, 11:20 AM // 11:20

Please, get this going. It would be VERY helpful.

Maybe GWGuru could help with hosting?
