I was a little bored and felt like contributing something to Tattle so right now I am running a mostly automated weekly update of the US tattle Data. If someone feels like doing something similar with the EU battlegroups here is what I did:
First edit dataminer.lua @ approximately line 387, comment out the region that you do not want to update, in my case it looks like this:
Next, I created a simple little shells script to update the data and then do a svn commit:
#/bin/bash
cd Tattle
lua5.1 dataminer.lua ; svn commit -m "Tattle: Weekly scripted update of US Data" data.lua Gladiator_US*
Next, scheduled a cron job to automagically start grabbing the data every Tuesday 15 minutes after the realms are typically scheduled offline (may not be the best time, sorta waiting to see). This is my crontab entry (my local time is PST +3)
15 08 * * Tue /home/kebinusan/Tattle/USUpdate.sh
Feedback and whatnot welcome, I couldnt find a Tattle thread to stuff this in
I am interested in doing this for the EU side for my info but unfortunately I dont have a clue how to do any of it.
Can you give me a step by step kind of account how to do it? I am guessing that you do it via linux or something? (or is it windows? if so, what software do i need etc?)
bump for more info! :) it sounds like you are doing an excellent job with updating armory data, kebinusan, but i'd like to know one of two things - either:
a) how to actually get the data that you're collecting for use ingame - do you have it on the wowace site somewhere, or is it stored elsewhere?
or...
b) i've taken a glance at the dataminer.lua file. it looks rather straightforward, but i've never worked with LUA, and so i dont really know what one is supposed to DO with the file. would it be possible to get more information about how to parse the armory data into our games?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR KEEPING THIS UPDATED... <3
just one request :D
wtb Battlegroups / EU/US in separate files so i can just delete those not in my battle group / Master Group
edit:
ok i was a little dense, it is LoD for the Gladiator files...
just too bad we can't do a LvL70 search on the armory to pull all data, would be useful for all pvp and pve , xply if we could make it a lib type thing :D
Would be nice if someone could continue this, or better yet, convert the dataminer into something you can use without having to compile lua binaries with all the needed modules.
Bumping this for a bit of love, over a month without any updates to the US data. There's a constant error when used on Bloodlust Battlegrounds because Nagrand was added and Tattle doesn't recognize the server at all. Anyone wanna take a stab at updating it?
im gona be taking a stab at it in the next few hours / days... hoping to be able to compile a Win32.exe
--and for those wondering, if i do manage to get one, NO im not passing it out.. god think of the lagg that the armory would have with 40billion ppl trying to scan it at once..
mind posting how to do this? I have no idea how to run a lua file in windows :(
unfortunately no, im not going to, Reasoning being that if more than a handfull of people spidered the armory it would lead to abuse.. if i discontinue updating i'll post a method or IM it to the person interested in keeping it updated..
ive decided that because it takes for ever to spider the armory - it'll be every wed afternoon (while im at work) when i'll scan it and post it up thursday morning.
On a Side Note: the origional script calls for the top 300 arana teams per bracket per battle group. understanding this it's a rather worthless addon. if anyone would like a detailed scan (all 4k teams) of their battlegroup - ask for it and i'll do it. i'll be posting one for Cyclone as that's my home BG.
I would prefer one for Bloodlust, but the fact that you're doing this is nice at all.
:D
it's something to do, btw, for Tattle to be Truely Effective im gona pull down 5k teams per bracket, and see how big that is, till then im gona stick to 400.
Can you post the Vengeance one also? Top 400 is fine for me because I have decent rating teams and I only usually face people in the top 400 anyway. This is when knowing the talents of the opponents helps so much because it helps decide what our game plan is.

well the normal distribution will be 400, deep scans are the top 1000 teams, and one of em im gona do tonight is cyclone top 5000 teams... gona see how that works.

Curse Premium!!! FUCK YA -- I got it working as i post, ive got an update for me at least going..
um thing is i don't have an SVN account.. so i'll prolly put it up on rapidshare.
script is run with 400 teams per bracket rather than 300 so it might be a bit bigger than normal, tho not by much.
it's taking about 45mins PER battlegroup and it's prolly just my internet connection.
