Oghma Infinium - A character tracking addon.

It has occurred to me recently that most other mmo's have a online stat tracking system. So, I have got the ball rolling on this. Our stat tracker is purely optional, as it is a addon. It is login based so people don't fake their stats as yours. I am very excited about this, and I will be posting more info about this on this thread as time goes by. Currently there are two ways to show support, either leave a like on the thread or sign up for our service here: http://oghmainfinium.com/register.php please do not use your ESO password on here. We suggest using a username you would like to be looked up as.

Thanks for reading! Please show your support to keep us motivated on this :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alrighty guys, Big news!

I have been working really hard with @yodased and I believe we are ready for another back end pre release! The new release version is 0.109!


How to get Oghma Infinium v0.109:

First download the lua code from here: https://github.com/Bc1151/Oghma-Infinium/releases/tag/0.109 (click download source code)

Navigate yourself to your addons folder for ESO

Extract the zip file in the /addons/

Rename the folder to: OghmaInfinium

Remove the spaces from the file names below:
Oghma Infinium.lua
Oghma Infinium.txt

So at this point the lua file for the addon should be about here: \Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\OghmaInfinium\OghmaInfinium.lua

Once you have all that done now its time to get the desktop application, As it automatically uploads the data we collect and supports virtually infinite data instead of the character limit of 4096 in game.

First go here: http://jenkins.bc1151.com/job/Oghma-Infinium-Desktop/33/com.Bc1151.OghmaInfinium$OghmaInfinium/

Download the OghmaInfinium-0.109-SNAPSHOT.jar file.
(If you feel you want a virus scan here it is: http://goo.gl/OuSkKE for the url & http://goo.gl/q6Zstw for the file itself, source code here: https://github.com/Bc1151/Oghma-Infinium-Desktop/ )

note: The desktop application is still in the development phase and there is no current official release or pre release.

Once you open the application it will be very basic as the ui is not done, to get the program started you must first have the saved variables of our application generated, so run the addon first. Once that's done click the load button (black in the bottom left) and navigate yourself to the saved variables, for me i would go here: C:\Users\Bc1151\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\OghmaInfinium.lua

Once that's done it will automatically upload the data every five minutes or so. due to the unpredictable nature of the eso program saving the files, it may not upload the most recent data everytime, if you wish to manually force a save generate the like in the addon and type /reloadui .

Addon usage:

once you have the addon installed there will be a label in the bottom left area of your screen. Click it, type in the username and password you signed up for OUR service with (NOT your eso password) and then click generate link! Simple as that!

If you are not using the desktop application you must copy all the text in the boxes and put them into the form that @yodased will be setting up later today.

Please tell me if you have any errors issues or problems!

Thank ALL of you so much for all the continued support and help!

We have come so far, yet have so far to go!

Really looking forward to your feedback!

    shhh don't give away the secret.

    Honestly though folks this is going to be a really awesome, insightful and maybe even lol worthy addon that Bc1151 is making for you.

    Show him the love he deserves, if you feel that you would use this addon, once again an addon that would allow you to share your particular buildout at any time from anywhere, go to the website and sign up.

    Even if you never use it, it will motivate him/us to finish it and make our brains get bigger.

    Thanks!

    yes, eventually you will have to download and install an addon that we will provide to you.

    So this is how it works:

    1. you sign up with the website to make sure that your character name is actually you.
    2. the website will generate a token of sorts that is passed to the addon you installed.
    3. the token will identify you as your character and send your data to our website which when then redisplay your data to the world using our paramaters.

    We are currently writing all three things: I am writing the front end code and the user interface for the plugin, Bc1151 is creating the actual logic and connections needed to parse the data.

    Basically i'm in charge of making it pretty, he is in charge of making it work.

    take away the scrolling of the pages please >_> it is VERY nice and a job well done, but I do not like that mouse pointer controls the page turns. Make it like the other ones where you can click a corner and drag it to turn it :P Other than that ONE little issue (for me) it is going to be fun!

    @ThatNeonZebraAgain‌ the premise is this:

    Say you want to share your build (Skills on your bar, weapons, armor, enchantments, morphs, character points assigned, acheevs).

    As it stands right now, you could take a screen shot of all of that and make a post on a forum somewhere or put it on your guildchat or something.

    When you change one thing all those screenies have to change.

    This addon will allow people who want to use it a real time updated database of their characters status.

    You will have a URL that you can sen people to and view yourself to see a replica of your Character, skills and eventually journal pages from in game on the website.

    Thanks for the name compliment, I was proud of myself on that one too.

    At work so I can't explore it completely, but any chance for this service to generate a forum signature of a condensed overview of a character? I.E. name, race, class, weapons equipped, skills on each bar, health/magicka/stamina?

    Just an idea I had while looking at my guild's forum...

    It would be awesome if you guys could also export know traits in each profession, and known recipes for provisioning.

    Perhaps it's too much to ask for an initial version, but at least it's something very useful that can be kept in mind for later :)

    Maybe you could check for installed addons that are already tracking this info themselves (like AI Research Grid and Sous Chef... for example) and just make it so it can be reported to your site? Just an idea...

    As I said earlier, looking forward to it :)

    Best wishes!

    Alright guys, I am starting to work on the addon itself, as the database and core are almost ready for a first run. The front end is going to look super sexy thanks to @yodased and his amazing talent. I'll post a update once I have a first draft for the code. I am really hyped about this!!

    This sounds great. Just a question though, addons aren't allowed to communicate with the outside world in any way right? So you'd have to manually export/import saved variables between the game and the site?

    You can't communicate with an external application/server from the API. That being said, I thought about how to automate this and ended up thinking it could be done by sending "in game" mails to addon managers in EU and NA who have a special addon that saves the data received in the mails (and removes the mail to save space). Then, a small tool installed in their pc, could periodically retrieve the data from the addon folder in the pc, format it and send it to the server.

    Only problem with this is that the user receiving the mails has to be online and open his mailbox quite often ^^.

    Edit: Technically you could ask all the user to install the tool to avoid manual submission but few would accept installing this I suppose.

    Yep, I thought about something like that too, or just a tool that you install with the addon that reads and sends data .. open source in that case hehe :smile:
