Outpost history & Faction warfare

November 20th, 2009

During the rewrite of the backend (in preparation for the upcoming expansion), I made some very big enhancements to the database. Everything must be able to get updated every minute, because sovereignty can change anytime, but not only sovereignty can change anytime even outposts are playing ping-pong games or alliances are growing and disbanding anytime.

After the biggest part in the database conversion, fixing, and reimporting old data (from old stored xml api files) has been done, it was time to see what stuff I can create with the revamped and freshly imported data.

The outcome? Everything is getting LIVE (or at least with max 1hour refresh timers) and here are screenshots from some of the new features I announce for the dominion DOTLAN EveMaps release: Outpost history/details and faction warfare changes/informations.

Do I need a release party for the launch of the upcoming DOTLAN EveMaps release? 🙂

    That is a nice application of the existing data ^^
    I especially like to browse the name-giving lists.

      Try to hit me up ingame this weekend and we’ll have a chat about. It’s not online yet (on the live site) cause I’m working on my devolpment system to have everyhing ready for the launch next week.

      Basically it’s the live feed of systems contested and recovered. As soon as a systems is falling into the contested state (or swichted ownership during the downtime) it should be updated on DOTLAN too. The database should get updated once per hour.

      That’s basically all what I can get out of the facwarsystems API. I might add the killpoint/memberships graphs someday, but I don’t find them to be a good tactical ressource.

      But I would like to get some FW feedback, cause I never took part in the faction war stuff, and just do what I personally think could be a good idea…
