Is the site down? Seems odd.

Rip P1999 Wiki, 2009-2013

[Se7en]

Oh noes, what happened?!!! It will come back up yes?

[Raavak]

Rogean probably working on something.

[Swish]

Adjusted some wiki info yesterday or the day before about fire opal vendors. Maybe the wiki decided enough was enough and went to cyber heaven :p

[maximum]

RIP the Progession Timeline article.

Hopefully they're updating the Wiki Software. That MediaWiki version was ancient.

[Estu]

From IRC just now:

<Rogean> Did you guys make any changes to the wiki in the last few weeks that would be causing it to surge in cpu usage? or is someone simply just pegging the shit out of it?
<Rogean> I had to take it offline
<Rogean> it literally took down the server
<Rumzuck> i havent touched it in years
<Estu> wow that's strange rogean
<Estu> I actually edit the wiki a fair bit and I look through the recent changes often
<Estu> I haven't seen any unusual changes at all
<Estu> so my guess would be someone is just accessing it a lot? maybe to DDoS the server? I dunno
<Estu> you could also talk to Ravhin, he's kind of the main guy with the wiki
<Estu> though I haven't seen him make any changes to it in a week or so
<Estu> I think the best way to contact him would be via forum PM
<Estu> anyway, if you could find a way to bring the wiki back up at some point without it disrupting the server, maybe on a mirror, it would be great
<Estu> amazing resource

ut oh... how will people know what prices to charge in ec!

i am shocked to realize just how much I miss the wiki even for a few hours

What i've been using, not everything works but a fair amount has been.

Damn, this sucks. Been so easy being lazy and just tabbing to wiki for map, item, & quest links all the time. :(

[kaev]

ahungry has only a tiny fraction of the utility of the wiki.

[spatrix87]

thanks for that backup link, was trying to figure out which wizzy spells were not that important for me to spend my limited plat on :P

This.

However will I begin my Rogue's epic quest without this information?!?!?

I just started using it too!

[Ravhin]

Likely take this chance to upgrade the wiki software. Hopefully get it back up this weekend, no promises :)

[Se7en]

Thanks Ravhin :) Looking forward to it.

[Aviann]

Any idea when it will be back up?

Hey! Thanks Charles Barkley! Btw, you were great at basketball. Come basket these balls in your mouth when you can between all your interenet surfing when you can.


Love,
A fan.

Wikis are not classic. They have to be removed.

bumping thread for some admin love and asking for status report :)

[Icaro]

Good point, Medowin. Still I love it tho'.

[mtb tripper]

yeah its down

[voodooutt]

I mirrored the atlas, I use it alot, and the archive link too damn slow for me.

MUSE'S EQ ATLAS (http://www.crystallik.com/EQ_ATLAS/index.html)

have fun

[Ravhin]

Updated to newest Mediawiki, need to fix a few problems before opening it back up, probably by tonight.

In the meantime, suggestions for improvement are always welcome. The only thing I've heard recently is either love or hate for the auctiontracker. Any specific ideas to improve it?

Any other feature requests?

Thanks for the work, Ravhin. Auction tracker is fine IMO.

1. I would love to see hitpoints implemented correctly. The values seem correct for Enchanters and other int casters but not for melee. Here is the formula I am using on my sperglord spreadsheet where I toy with various HP values for Sakuragi:

table = { 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 25, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 27, 28, 28, 28, 28, 29, 29, 29, 29, 30}

HP = GearHP + (level * table[level] * (1 + min(255, stamina)))/300

I am not sure if AC is implemented correctly, but then I am not sure the titanium client is implementing it correctly either.

2. On my spreadsheet I also have values for full buffs. It's pretty easy to do

3. It would be cool to be able to sort a class by hp/ac/str/MR/whatever

All in all though the wiki is just fantastic.

[Stabulous]

I appreciate your efforts with the wiki, I can't live without it <3

[Menemas]

The search function is notoriously fickle. Needs exact spelling of every word, proper placement of apostrophes and sometimes capitalization for some pages.

[webrunner5]

Ravhin is pretty much the main man for WiKi. I don't think the Devs have much to do with it. But anyone can edit or add to it.

[Estu]

Ah yes, this would actually be a good avenue for improvement. Would be nice to just type in something, hit 'go', and get to a page without first seeing a bunch of search results where the first result is inevitably the thing you wanted to look at in the first place.

[Chrysus]

Any other feature requests?

Allowing a method to mirror it so we have a read-only backup would be very welcome.

[Dubs]

dude its killing me not to have wiki =( was so good

[Ravhin]

Put things backup (almost), modulo a few things which are still a bit wacky. Search (automatic suggestions while typing) seems much improved, is it good enough?

I'll look at the HP formula when I get a chance. As for a backup mirror, I guess anyone is welcome to do a full dump (although you will loose the dynamic pages and future content), but this is the first downtime since it moved to Rogean's hosting (~3 days in 3 years), I would say it's not really an issue.

[Ravhin]

If anyone knows how to fix the problem described here (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Special_pages#Don.27t_overwrite_origin al_page_title_when_transcluding_special_page) (why all the Item pages now say "Special: AuctionTracker" in their title), let me know.

HP = GearHP + (level * table[level] * (1 + min(255, stamina)))/300



Perhaps I don't understand that HP equation, it seems independent of STA for STA<255?

Here is the current wiki code for Warrior HP, it is very similar but I guess the difference is in the STA term?


case 'Warrior':
if ($mlevel < 20)
$multiplier = 220;
else if ($mlevel < 30)
$multiplier = 230;
else if ($mlevel < 40)
$multiplier = 250;
else if ($mlevel < 53)
$multiplier = 270;
else if ($mlevel < 57)
$multiplier = 280;
else if ($mlevel < 60)
$multiplier = 290;


$lmod = $multiplier; //War

$post_255 = 0;

if ($sta-255/2 > 0)
$post_255 = ($sta-255/2);

$base_hp = (5)+($level*$lmod/10) + ((($sta-$post_255)*$level*$lmod/3000)) +
(($post_255*$level)*$lmod/6000);

$hp = $base_hp + $item_hp;

[smooman]

I wish I could help you rahvin, but I am definitely not a code monkey :(

But on behalf of everyone who plays, let me thank you so much for all you do on the wiki. Just not having it for a week has me hobbling along using cached versions and it just isn't the same. Plus, allakhazam being edited and updated to the latest version of EQLIVE makes it almost useless.

once again THANK YOU! You can do it! Rah Rah Rah! and all that sort of cheerleader business! :D

[phobus]

Ravhin, a million thank-yous for the work you've done on the wiki in the past, and your current efforts to bring it back up.

Why was it moved to wiki.project1999.com? Is it temporary? The main page redirect is fine, but any links/bookmarks to the old site don't work.

[timhutton]

Perhaps I don't understand that HP equation, it seems independent of STA for STA<255?

It seems to use the smaller value between either the cap
(255) or whatever "stamina" is actually set to.

As to it's validity I have no clue, but stam does seem to factor in.

[Aviann]

You guys just google search what you need, and open the page in Cached mode.

Can be done on Mac and Windows

[Atmas]

Ravhin in the Splorf quote that min() function would use whichever of the passed values that was lower. So 255 if you actually had like 256 or greater, or whatever you actual stam is if it is 254 or lower.

[Splorf22]

Rahvin our code looks exactly the same except for how we handle stamina over the cap. Mine is simply hardcapped at 255 which I believe is correct. I am not familiar with the order of operations in PHP but I think you may have an error there? It seems that yours softcaps at 128. Also it seems you have no final case for L60 warriors?


case 'Warrior':
if ($mlevel < 20)
$multiplier = 220;
else if ($mlevel < 30)
$multiplier = 230;
else if ($mlevel < 40)
$multiplier = 250;
else if ($mlevel < 53)
$multiplier = 270;
else if ($mlevel < 57)
$multiplier = 280;
else if ($mlevel < 60)
$multiplier = 290;
else
$multiplier = 300;


$lmod = $multiplier; //War

$eff_sta = $sta;
if ($sta > 255)
$eff_sta = 255;

$base_hp = (5)+($level*$lmod/10) + ($eff_sta*$level*$lmod)/3000);
$hp = $base_hp + $item_hp;

You seem to be confused. It hasn't moved. That link was just to the Web Archive of cached pages.
