We've been leaving you in the dark recently with regard to Project Shamrock, so I'm back to fill you all in on what we have been up to in the back room. If you haven't read the previous Administrators' Updates, check 'em out before you read this installment:

Update I
Update II
Update III

So today I'm going to let you all take a peak at the hiscores engine built into Shamrock. From the get-go we wanted to have a strong system in place to deal with tracking and manipulating hiscore data. Earlier we allowed our users to sign up for hiscore tracking in advance. For all those who signed up (and it's not too late!), we have been keeping track of your training progress. With the release of Shamrock, you will have access to brand new, completely unique calculators, courtesy of Falln Archon. These are a few of many interesting features that are included in these calculators:

Training Queues
If you've ever wondered what level "X" amount of Wind Strikes would get you... well we've done you one better. We'll tell you what level that will get you, and then what level you'll get if you cast "X" amount of Camelot Teleports after that. And then we'll tell you how many High Alchs you will need after that to get to level 90. Here's a quick example of that feature:



Required Materials
Say you want to cast "Confuse" on that silly Zamorak Mage in the Varrock Castle... until level 99 magic. Our calculators will tell you how many casts that'll take, but they'll also tell you the raw materials needed to cast all those spells:



Filtering
Sometimes the sheer amount of data can be a bit overwhelming, so we've split up every skill into sub-categories. But let's say you want to refine your terms even more. Instead of looking at all jewelery options under crafting, you may just want to look at the necklaces:



And trust me - Falln has max'd out these calculators. They are filled to the brim with more features than you can imagine.

In other news...

We have added another batch of guides. Thank you to everyone who contributed, and thanks to all those who coded them:

Curse of Arrav by Overdoziz
Meeting History by Silver
Map of Stronghold of Player Safety by Benjy

That sums it up! Until next time...

Well done Falln, glad to see calcs finished!

AWESOME! Fab updates guys, I like it.

Im in ur database hackin ur codes

Cewl.

Now where are those bots to actually do the 30k windstrikes for us?

Is there any shading or reflections in the Shamrock skins? From the pictures it just looks flat.

Not quite done yet, but they're getting close. Just one more feature I've gotta figure out, then a whole bunch of database work. Styling is the last step, and I'll need to get some guys to help me out with that cause I'm no good at designing stuff.

This site is full of Photoshoppers . Just give us an outline and a template to work on (because we need to design in small bits so you can code it in) and we'll try!

You are well on your way to success.

I'm going to be a HUGE MEANIE HERE.

Is there more to Shamrock besides this? I haven't been super up to date on this, but these graphs kinda look like something I could come up with through simple mental and/or calculaulator math. Stuff like, price checks and whatnot.

Ehh... Yeah.

Wow, more updates

Maybe you should do as Cecchi suggested and read the other 3 updates listed at the top of the page. Way to use the brain there.

Looks very nice though. Nicely done


Oh wow I just re-read the Training Queues section and that is awesome.

Well instead of saying "I could do that too" , try and show some respect for the people who are not talking about it but actually doing it. Also, as Otter said, read the other updates.



On-topic : Nice. I am a little bit sceptical about this project (not sure if it's going to be so great as everybody is expecting it to be) but all looks fine so far.

You have to understand that there is a completely new site. We are attempting to redo everything that the Crypt has done over the course of nearly 5 years. So yes, a lot of it is just busy work recoding and recoding and recoding, but the upgraded version isn't just an "upgraded version". It does have a bunch of new features like these calculators and the graphs we have already released. In addition, the back-end is much more "hands-on" so that our constant issue of not having enough people to code/upload guides should be resolved... now people without HTML knowledge will be able to add guides. In addition to being idiot-proof, the site has a system completely custom fit for RuneCrypt. Instead of fighting with MKP every time we make a feature, we have a nice "toolbox" of pre-made functions and classes for everything we need.

Idiot-proof

Yea... just some simple math

He could come up with it in no-time.

very nice guys, great work. really can't wait to see what it will all look like in the end.

I AM IN YOUR PASTEBIN STEALING YOUR SCRIPTS

Good luck

Wait, the Calculators are done? When did this happen?

Like a few days ago.

What the fack.

Where's Project Banana??????????????????

Right behind you!

I think not.

The calcs aren't done. Sheesh. We're just making you guys all antsy... and it's working =)

Damn it, I thought my work was done

Honestly, I don't like it (contains no glue).

I can't wait for some of these calculators - that is, if I haven't retired from RuneScape AGAIN by then.
