I almost don't know where to start there have been so many, but here goes...

1. Front page - I changed the header so I can show recent updates. I'm not real crazy about the way it looks, but it does what I want. I'll pretty it up later.

2. Deckbuilder - This has been around a while, but I've added the ability to save decklists that you build. You can bring them back up later in the deckbuilder editor to update them.

When you save your decklist, you'll be prompted for a username, password, deckname, and description. To access your deck, you'll have to use the same username/password. The password is encrypted, but I'm probably going to be upgrading the encryption in the near future.

3. Events - I've added an event mapper. Using Google maps, you can see where past and upcoming events are.

4. Add Events - I've added the ability for league leaders and tournament organizer to add their leagues and tournaments to the map.

NOTE: Don't add premier tournaments (Cities, States, Regionals, Gyms, Nationals, and World). I'll take care of that.

Two things you should know: (1) This is US-only right now. This has to do with determining the latitude/longitude of events. (2) When you enter your event, it will show up at 0 degrees lat, 0 degree long. This is a technical problem that I'm working but, as I find things have been added, I'll move them to the right place.

5. Trader Base - This is the biggie. Here it is in a nutshell...

You can enter the cards that you have for trade and enter the cards that you are looking for.

Once you've made your list, the Pokepedia can do searches on other peoples' lists and see if somebody has the cards you're looking for or see if somebody is looking for the cards you have.

You can also do "ad hoc" searches to find specific cards.

I'd added a couple of forums on the boards so you can post your references and discuss trades if you want.

As part of saving your decklist, you enter your email address so, when people find that you have a need they can fill or a card that they want, they can email you. (I've taken precautions to ensure that spammers can "scrape" your email address from the website.)


So there you go. That's a bunch of changes. As always, I hope that you let me know if you find problems or if you have suggestions for other features.

(Thanks to Sceptilious for suggesting the Trader Base, Dld4a for suggesting the Basic evolution feature, and to UFTroll for the idea of saving decklists.)

Oh yeah, extra credit to the person who can identify where that quote under the Pokepedia logo came from. (It's been paraphrased, of course).
 
That trader base has HUGE potential, IMO.

The ability to search through all lists for cards you need is tremendously time-saving.

With the upcoming holon sets, i think the dual-type search will be pretty important.

Just to answer your teaser, I am guessing the quote came from Logan's Run. :clap:

I don't need the extra credit so you can give it to someone else. :biggrin:
 
Is it possible to limit the trade lists to Modified only? Searching through every card ever made, especially if the card starts with a common letter (such as Rayquaza) crashes my computer. The deckbuilding algorithm, on the other hand, does not crash my comp. Is there any way to fix this? Thx!
 
Limiting it to Modified only is very simple. Not a big deal at all.

I haven't figured out how to switch between Modified and Unlimited though.

For now, I will limit trading to Modified only and look to expand it to include Unlimited (at user's option).

Sorry about killing your browser. I recognized that it would be a "challenge" (which is why I put the "please be patient" on there) but I didn't think it would be fatal!

Not quite fatal, but I typed in the letter R, waited 5 minutes, and nothing hapened. The browser had frozen up. I had to forcequit IE in order to keep using my other IE windows...

Wow this looks really cool :thumb: I'm going to try and get some my trading cards keyed in on the weekend !!
It's going to make trading so much easier to find what your looking for !
Your welcome for the idea, I think I owe you a big THANK YOU for doing the work :clap: :clap: :clap:
Now that you got that done, I've got some more ideas for you :rolleyes: :wink:




:pokeball:
 
Good! I'm looking for more stuff to do. :-/

There are a few things that I'm trying to do, but can't get to work. Not sure why though.

Bullados, I realized that I hadn't fixed one of the lists for Modified only. That may be what got you.

An alternative to using the name filter it to click inside the scrolling list, then typing the first letter of the name (R in the case of Rayquaza). It will take you to the first occurance of cards starting with that letter (R Energy, in this case). At least that will get you closer.

There, it's fixed! The deckbuilder algorithm will now crash your computer just like the search does. Be careful what you ask for.

Dang, my fumbling fingers gave me away!

I guess you don't want any of the viruses or spyware that I have available for download either.
 
Definitely sarcasm.

Although, if you know how to get rid of something called Winfixer that keeps trying to load itself on one of my computers, I'd like to hear about it.

Try Google Winfixer................................lots of hits !
(Of course if you were serious about the Winfixer removal)

i just made my trade list on pokepedia and found that the way you select cards is kinda slow and tedios .
I was thinkin that maybe it could be more like the appr way where you type in the name of the card and it automatically searches for you
 
The Have and Want filters (below the select list) are there so you don't have to scroll all around.

Also, clicking in the Select area and typing a letter will take you to the first card in the list starting with that letter.

Hopefully that will help to some degree.

As far as re-tooling the interface, that's unlikely any time soon. Building a user interface in a Windows application (like Apprentice) is much simpler than doing it in a web-based interface (i.e., a browser).
 
Any chance of the Excel Version getting being re-released? I live in excel, so that is the easiest for myself to use. Filter's are cool.

FYI, In my old excel speadsheet, I added the field "Basic Line" so that if wanted to sort on what options one would have if you were looking for a "Magcargo", you would select the "Slugma" to see all iterations of Slugma, Magcargo, including Darks and EX. You needed to use the basic lines because of lines such as Oddishes, which have multiple higher stage evolution types. (also Eevee's could get crazy.)
