Aion: Character Info

with 7 comments. What is your opinion?

Even tho Aion is slowly dieing here in the West, i managed to force myself to come up with a character information tool.
It is kinda like the official AionMini Character Search – just a bit different and more useful (at least for my needs).

http://www.pirateninjas.net/aionmini/

Things to come

  • full item details

Known Bugs

  • completly bails out when loading deleted characters
    (this is NCSoft servers fault, for not returning a proper/well-formed answer)
  • missing certain items
    (once again: blame NCSoft servers, for being out of date and therefor not knowing all available game items)
  • no multil-language support, eg. german, french for the european servers
    (you guessed it … NCSoft servers at it again, for not returning properly masked answers and making scripts fail)

Found some more bugs or got any suggestions?

Feel free to leave a comment, if possible provide the server & character name (makes it easier to replicate bugs)

  1. Pretty nice thing for dreds. What’s more funny yesterday i had idea of doing something similar (just little bit more compact).

  2. you can switch each character sheet between full-view and compact-view by clicking the gray-border on the right side of each character sheet.
    under customize you can enable the compact-view by default (but can still switch between the view modes for each sheet later).

  3. Nice tool! If you like, I could translate it into German to make it more usable for Balder, Thor, and Kromede.

  4. The problem is not translating it, could do that on my own. But the non-english data we pull from the NCSoft servers are not properly masked/well-formed. Therefor the german & frenchy are currently unusable until NCSoft fixes their servers – the official NCSoft tools also fail to use the german/french data (at least on higher Abyss ranked characters and characters with certain items equiped that have ‘special’ chars in the name). Getting it translated into german / french is no high priority atm, couse the tool would fail anyway with these data.
    I hope they will fix their web servers with the next patch and also finaly update the data to the current in-game version. Web servers currently only known v2.0 items and miss all new v2.1 stuff.

  5. Ups nothing found i get with many characters.
    Is that because of firewall?

  6. If you can not find any character at all (like even your own on the correct server), then it is most likely the security settings of a) your browser and/or b) your firewall.
    The tool is tested & working fine on all major browsers with standard/default security settings.

  7. When you type too fast, the search will stop halfway and you will end up with incorrect search results :(

    Besides that, it’s really nice!
