Also, I haven't checked yet (the database is still showing up as broken for me) but I definitely think there should be a Nothing item.

I killed like 3 Goblins last night (yellow to me) and I got Nothing.... >.<

I has an excel file if you want me to send that to you I can....I put results into a pivot table....got really bored, XD but let me know... thanks

Have done this. The system is capable of telling me how many times the monster has been defeated - I just havent implimented that yet.

Also- if we're taking on boss monsters in duo and the characters are the same level would that information be OK? Just wondering because Nekoneko and I had spent some time beating up the Skeleton Knight...

EDIT :: Just another thought - have you considered including the drops people get from the KQs?

I'm trying to keep the corruption of data down to a minimum. Therefore, unfortunately, you can't store group data... yet.

Usually you work in teams in KQs unless you Kill Steal, in each case neither count as valid drops yet.

so I noticed that trying to input the Storm horseman's flail and other horseman's flail's end up with errors any way to fix this?

Yeah that's my fault - I know, but can't tell you exactly what's going on tho'. It's a problem I'm working on.

While on the subject, a similar note: will adding a [+1], [+2], etc affect how the items show up in the database?

Also: When adding maps to the database, would you like screen shots (saved as .jpgs, or bitmaps or what have you) or are we allowed to directly link to the Wiki?

Don't add +1 or +2 items into the database please. Just the standard. I'll write some workaround for this. To be honest, dropped weapons are rare enough not to warrent 10 different instances!

As for the map thing, it might be a good idea. Do remember I'm trying to help the Wiki, not take it over!

Storing empties would mean I'd have to empty the databse tho... again!

We had some downtime

We now got some updates :D

I guess I should have been more specific. I didn't mean the mob drops but rather the contents of the chests that you receive when you succeed.

Ah ok. Not yet :P

My account was deleted ..?

On the drop counter? I haven't deleted any accounts. :|

Either you didn't sign up or something else has gone wrong.

If it's the forums, then probably something spurious came up, like non-existant password or spurious e-mail filtering and so on...

Ozzy--I'm having some problems using the row of tabs across the top from the link in the original post. I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that I'm on IE or what because I didn't have problems accessing it on Firefox.

But the tabs just are workable for me at the moment.

We had some fun creating new characters and killing slimes and mushrooms tonight. Poor Nekoneko was logging for me the whole time... ^__^

Hooray for data!

The use of any Microsoft product like IE is not recommended, because it's useless. Nevertheless, I'll have a look at it.

The menu SHOULD work in IE, it was part of a university project (Dezza wrote the core, I made massive tweaks ^.^). It was tested in over 10 browsers, so I'm told, and none of them complained about it.

Haha I noticed - big shock when I woke up this morning and had nearly 400 drops to validate. Did finally get me around to writing a yes for all function tho :D Thanks for that
