Typos and other oddities
Hey, I'm working on converting your item lists into a database and I have some questions.
There are a handful of things I suspect are typos, but I wanted to make sure. Like in the gear and vehicles, there's a few categories where the singular and plural are listed as separate categories (e.g. "uniform" and "uniforms" in "Gear"). Is this on purpose?
Also, why are some items missing a value for "restricted price"?
Also there are some things that I know are typos (off the top of my head, one of the weapons has the effect "concusive").
Would you like me to send you my changed .csv files or would you like access to the db when it's finished? I would prefer not to make .yaml files since I don't require them for my project, but I assume you have some way to convert to them programmatically
That's super!
- Yes there are certainly typos and miscategorizations. I invite you to correct as you see fit. Much of this is manual in the YAML (a bad decision by me), so there are bound to be errors.
- I would love to hear more about your project. Is it available publicly? I think The Outer Rim could use some love and would be interested in collaborating.
Sorry, didn't get a notification for this. That project is at least temporarily on hiatus (due to an issue with react-native-sqlite-storage that I only finally fixed yesterday) but the database is complete and open source. You can find it and the project here.
If I'm not doing this on my own, then I'd love to restart the project. I just need to finish up the character sheet manager for Glitch that I'm working on currently.
The project was just a way to display items using React Native, also kind of a shop generator. It was a continuation of my first programming project.
Also yeah, it's a relational database, so you only have to make each decision once. Especially with all these made up names, it must've been a nightmare keeping track. So, I tried my best to use almost entirely foreign keys for things like companies and whatnot, and I'm happy to revisit that if I can help. It'd probably be pretty easy to generate whatever code you're using from a db
My go-to UI language these days is React/Native, but I have absolutely no server experience. Would you be trying to do a full overhaul or just update the data source?
EDIT: One more thing in case you find databases intimidating: use a tool like SQLiteStudio to look through the data. I created Views that essentially recreate the CSVs that you release, so you can easily scan it. In fact, you can export those views as CSVs if you use that tool
