Forum :: Lounge :: EO Web Data Resource - Release

UPDATE (4-18-11)

Source has been finalized. Feel free to take a look and use it if you so desire! 

To install it, extract all the files to your web server's root directory. Edit the config.php accordingly. You'll also want to edit the index.php file to actually say something, since this is the home page for the site. Finally, put your server's pub files in the 'pub' folder. Cache files will be generated in the 'cache' folder automatically.

Also, just to let you know my plans for this:

• Load/display shops, drops, skills, and home files
• Expression evaluator for advanced searches
• (Far future) Dynamically load GFX files

Hey there lounge. A couple weeks ago I decided to start a project for loading and displaying the EO pub files in a php website. The result was a fullyfunctional webapp that allows you to view the pub files for any endless online server emulator. I took a little inspiration from Sausage's eodata resource.

Link here: http://ethanmoffat.web44.net/

Sausage's: http://guide.endless-online.info/

This is just an announcement for now to see how much interest there would be for server operators. If you have custom pubs, this would enable you to tell your players exactly how good/bad your custom stuff is.

You really only need a php enabled webhost (I found a free hoster and set up a site in about five minutes so it's really not difficult). I'll edit this post once the source is uploaded/finished!

I'm kind of interested to see the source, nice project :P

Nice, i was going to do something similar to this for endless edge, i consulted an admin about this and i was told from apollo that its not needed due to someone else (not saying any names) is already in the process of making something similar.

Nice job, ill help anywhere i can!

Yes, this would be rather easily made if you could decrypt the files. :P

Could prolly use to make a pub editor tool also.

Well, I kind of did 'decrypt' the files. It's in a binary format and the eodata.cpp file loads all the pub information. I used that as a reference and ported it to PHP in a way that I could use it.

The way it works is that if there isn't a cached file, it loads the binary formatted pub files and saves those to a cache and loads from those. Otherwise, it loads from the cache. You can also set it in the "config.php" file to load from the pub files every time (not recommended) or to load from the cached data files.

Sorry the website was down too, I didn't anticipate them blocking it while under review. It looks like it's back up and running again though so you can take a look! Also, let me know if you find a bug while I'm finalizing everything. I'm kind of bothered by how well it's working, seems almost too good to be true....

This is just amazing, I can't wait until the download release. !

Sausage was working on something like this for WebCP.  Essentially, it is an item database/beastiary/class database/spell database. It is a bit off and we all know Sausage works at a snail's pace at times, but if this sees the light of day it will be an awesome addition to the WebCP as it should read data directly from Pub files and current client gfx. Keep your fingers crossed on this one, it will be epic.

That would be sick if you made it also take the bitmap from the gfx files.

I was actually going to look into loading the GFX files as a later addition, but I'm not sure if I could actually figure it out yet.

(Ignore the site, very old.)

P.S. If the downloads are blank, paste the adress in the adress bar and itll work.

it's not the source code, but I guess you could use the gfx extractor, and manually add them to the site.

Oh, well i asked des for the source and this is what he gave me xD

I really want this eathan, it will be much better for a quick lookup than the access db I'm using
