I didn't want to promote the unfinished project, but seeing how many people could benefit from using certain features even it's not 100% complete, I'll share some information here about the project, and where it is going to.
Entropia Central project consists of many "modules", but you are most likely going to interact with the www.entropiacentral.com & Entropia Central Tracker.
1. www.entropiacentral.com
It was originally meant to be just for displaying wiki data, but it grew as the crazy ideas kept coming in, and I implemented all of them one by one (still many ideas left unimplemented tho)
If you navigate to the home page, you will be able to see live globals from in-game, trade messages and latest from forum. Who knows, maybe we can add wave detection trough tracker and display wave status on the website in real time? Let me know what you think.
Expanding left-side navigation will show items/stuff available to browse and filter on the website
All items, creatures, everything is editable and permissions are role based, so for example if you have just registered, you have ability to use most of the features, but you can not change or delete any important data.
If you want to get discord notifications for your society, let me know, for now only I can add that, but in the future I'll allow everyone create/maintain their society pages. Data i will need for this is list of society members and threshold at which to send discord message to your designated channel.
If you want to run the event trough Entropia Central, let me know what format of the event you would prefer, and other information so I can set it up for you. At this moment these services are completely free.
There is also a new way to filter creatures where your mind will be blown when you see what creatures are better then flesh rippers for example for skilling
The project has number of tools available to everyone, for free, forever, such as:
Loadouts (yes this is originally my idea), where you can add everything you can imagine and see the stats, what's equipped, save & share.
disclaimer (with small letters): there is arsonistic chip and mindforce implants missing for the configuration, also numerous item effects are not available at the moment, which is what I will be focusing on in the next couple of days.
Ring combinations tool:
All available tools can be viewed here: https://www.entropiacentral.com/tools
There is also a small crafting calculator, will be expanded to something more later on which I can not reveal at the moment.
(found at every blueprint page)
Tiering - if you know materials for tier 1 of the item, all other tier materials will automatically populate. Once you populate data, other users can benefit from the generated data as well.
I have worked hard to make this tool as accurate as possible, and I hope it will help you out.
Creature loots - Thanks to Isa's crazy idea, creature loots will have much more sense, the idea was to implement "reddit like" upvote/downvote system, where with existing loots that were marked as "No longer drops" have initial score of -1. It is 100x better system then what entropia wiki provides, and should definitely be used as it's super simple to just click once everything you know drops from the creature.
The site uses only basic in-house web traffic tracking and does not collect or distribute any personal user information.
This project will continue to be developed for a very long time, and it won't stop even in case MindArk releases new official wiki, we will still have better data and tools here. A lot of data is already prepared, and will be processed and added/updated when i get to that.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or concerns, thanks to everyone who contributed to the project in any way so far. Anyone who wants to genuinely contribute and not do harm to data, I will grant the higher role to be able to modify the data. I still need to adjust roles for certain features, for example tiering materials there is no reason lowest role shouldn't be able to add those etc.
I am aware of some of the UI bugs, but just had no time to tackle them. The update that will come in the next couple of days will address most of them (annoying tables on mobile, annoying spacing on mobile etc.).
2. Entropia Central Tracker
The first legit tracker that 100% can not contain any viruses or any other shenanigans, as it's verified by Microsoft.
Tracker can be downloaded from Microsoft Store exclusively, and will not be distributed in any other way, (sorry if you don't have legit Windows), it supports Windows 10 and 11 specifically.
Here's the full tracker guide for whoever wants to give it a try: https://www.entropiacentral.com/news/ecentralnews/entropia-central-tracker-guide
The tracker has a few purposes:
- Feed server with globals, trade messages and pvp actions
- Make screenshot on global
- Make video replay on global (OBS Studio integration)
- Backup the globals (for events)
Tracker has multiple modes where you can choose what you are most comfortable with to track: default (all), only globals, only landarea globals, only pvp actions, stealth (see below)
Thanks to Sub's suggestion on discord, it also has a "Stealth" option where you don't send any data anywhere, and use it just to make screenshot or video replay on your globals. I don't mind if people uses the app this way, it's already built and exists no reason to not let people enjoy it.
Tracker is free and will be free forever. Additional more advanced features may appear in future releases (searching trough notes, loot tracking, etc.), but you can always choose to not perform an update if you are comfortable with current version.
Last and very important note, please take it very seriously: When registering, please use unique password, possibly auto generated google password. Do not enter password you use everywhere, so worst case scenario or being hacked, which is unlikely, you are safe. Generally for anything important you should change your passwords often (at least every 15 days).
