More.... Great stuff

Finally after months of procrastination my initial goal of having a customizable, database driven weapon builder has finally happened.

When I first opened my website in July I knew just enough HTML to code a simple page. Now after the help of a few friends, and a couple refrence books and GOOGLE I have finally made good progress in my weapon builder. Over the months I have learned quite a bit more HTML, PHP, and MySQL. Right now you can pick either a Carbine, Pistol, Rifle, and Special Heavy Weapon and select between barrel, handler, scope, stock, feeder.

This builder should be relatively close to most server stats, but is intended primarily for Chilastra users. I may if there is interest offer an upload capability by a CSV text file of known max values for other servers in the future for a "server specific" builder.

Anyway, please play around with the page.

--update--

***Just added Berserker and Geo Sonic Blaster***

I believe I have just about every ranged weapon on the builder except the looted schematic e11 and featherweight fwg5.

All results are slicable with the slice calculator, and enhanceable with the weapon enhancer. Keep in mind that it is possible to put a stock or scope in twice, (once in the builder, once in the enhancer), so keep track and make sure not to make that mistake!

I have just added DPS calculation support as part of my full site update. DPS Caculations are provided by killyourpc.org

Last I checked there are no feed mechanisms in a Laser Carbine, lol.

This will be for pistols also, and berzerkers and spraysticks have the feeds also. Right now I don't know how to filter out based on weapon "type" to never show a proj feed if a carbine is selected, especially since there are exceptions. I decided to have a dropdown for each type of weapon and and part spit out several different weapon builds. You guys will have to just use common sense in the meantime (the info is available on the "enhancements" page anyway).

Actually technically it _IS_ possible to input resource statistics and spit out a weapon. The theoretical max %'s are out there, and also the weighting. The coding would be a nightmare, much harder than just crafting the components and entering them in the DB . I have about the best stuff on my server for almost everything anyway so I didn't go that route but it could be done.

I did manage to make a pretty sweet carbine.

I believe I have just about every ranged weapon on the builder except the lootec schematic e11, featherweight fwg5, and the special heavy weapons now!

I will be changing the formatting of the builder to make it harder to make things like a laser rifle with projectile barrel and pistols with rifle barrels. Until then use common sense!

Bump going to tweak a bit more and add a slice button to the final builds soon
