I noticed the writings while backing up the database (I'm doing a major backup initiative for 2009)

I didn't notice them before because they're stored as binary for some reason (the BLOB columns)

I'll try to post that stuff (the Blobs) somewhere sooner or later (not necessarily on the main site) ...I dunno for sure if Tony for sure wrote the stuff up, but it doesn't look like copy/pasted info. Someone else could've been responsible, but it seems like Tony did most everything writing wise at least for the old website. Personally I feel like I've done enough so far to get to take a few years off sweatdrop

Awesome! I'll update the database asap (sometime in the next couple hours)

This will make many more of the English and Japanese skill names show up.

I finally fixed an import bug that made Enbarr's skill list not show up. Apparently PHP evaluates "0" (the string sans quotes) as false, which seems really crazy to me, but probably has more pros than cons given the nature of PHP programming. Definitely something that should be on the front page of any PHP manual confused

Next I want to try to make the background images preload so when you hit next you don't go to a black background. And I gotta fix the javascript bug that makes the last Persona in the gallery not display in the popup. After this, I will feel like this database is ready for the show floor... EXCEPT! for the database isn't ready. So it will be up to our contributing users to help us complete the database as usual doh

It would also be nice to figure something out about working the cards into the popup layout. Mostly I just need someone to rename all of the card files. Oh and I want to make the layout scale around the font size. That is something else I will handle personally. The other stuff I need help with though if this page is ever gonna get out of "under construction" and into the Persona section of the website etcetera etcetera smokin

http://www.digitaldevildb.com/construction/persona/

Seriously peoples, I can't do everything myself hearton

OK!

I fixed the final popup bug. And I also have the images preloading now, so the background won't be black if they've had time to load...

(actually, the biggest hurdle there was realizing the graphics were technically backgrounds and not images doh)

So pretty much the core demonary technology is completely finished I think!

I think we should retire this thread too, and make threads for particular databases from now on.


I still need to work out more sorting options for Persona 1, but it's pretty much just a question of filling in the spreadsheets from here on out. So I gotta ask, if we still want to do this or not??? rolleyes

Sorry to drag this old dog out... but I'd like to know the present sentiment about the whole database half of the "digital devil database"??

I thought I worked out a very efficient system for turning this place into an actual database... the test database went well I thought, but the interest in actual devil databases seemed to drop to nil during the entire process.

I'd just like to know if there is anything I could do to make it easier to add databases to the website. Google Spreadsheet is way more sophisticated than anything I could devise, and I basically take care of everything else.

If you want, we can try to switch over to using the wiki I setup...

http://www.digitaldevildb.com/hell/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Hell

Or at least do a test database from it. Then I can Ajax the wiki pages to import the databases. I don't think that would be more efficient, but it might go over better with volunteers for whatever reasons a psychoanalyst could turn up rainbow

I was going to use that wiki for images, before I got the idea to develop the whole Media Library section into something bigger (which I still have on the drawing board)

I dunno, just seems a shame we don't have more happening in the database dept.

PS: Also Persona PSP is coming out, so it should behoove us to at least finish the P1 database in time sweatdrop

I'd be willing to help out since the Persona series was the whole damn reason I got involved in Megaten in the first place (that, and anything that'll give me a better reason as to why my translations are so slow  tongue)

Personally I'd love to see a demon database (as would most fans probably, even though they are somewhat silent) What exactly do you need? If I can help in any way I will

The two major things we need are Japanese/translated names for stuff (mostly magic) entered into our Google Spreadsheet. And after Atlus USA does it's thing with PSP edition, we'll need the new names it will be using (don't expect them to stick with the Revelations names do you!!)

Then we need to have the tarot card graphics named to match the background graphics so I can add that to the presentation. Then I can finish up the rest of the programming. If we want to go beyond just Persona info, then there is a lot that could be done.


The Google Spreadsheets are here (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=piKSlpkg0llAny-VoXNRkKQ&hl=en)

Pick Persona on the bottom to get to the Persona sheet. It might seem a bit much at first, but it's really the easiest way to do this more or less. However we're really finished with the Persona sheet. What we really need is work in the Stock Terms sheet. Which is basic translation stuff that would apply to most every game. Then after that is finished it can just be copied over into the Persona sheet. There are Persona exclusive terms however. For now though it's probably easiest to just put everything into the stock terms sheet. Later when we have more than one game DB we can copy and prune it to make a general terms sheet(s).

Really I should reprogram the database so the terminology is a separate table. But for now this is easier. The main reason we have the terms in a separate spreadsheet is because Google won't let you sort a subset a rows, so this way you can just enter the terms willy nilly, then sort the row you want, then copy it into another sheet sorted. They don't have to be sorted, but it makes double entries less likely (once we get the bulk stuff in there)

Translation: If you just fill out the stock terms sheet I can do the rest. If you want to help rename the tarot cards, I can think of some way to facilitate that.

PS: To sort, just click the little boxes in the divider over the column you want to sort. Oh and I'll invite you to work on the spreadsheet by email if you still wanna try and help...

PPS: Also, I really don't care how the Japanese names are transliterated into English. But since I did what is there myself, I did it the way I thought was best. Whoever finishes the job can do it however the hell they like.

^Well, we don't have an EP page yet, though we do have a spreadsheet for it. Thing is we don't have a P2 section on the website yet, so probably an EP database would be hard to find, though I'm planning on adding a "Special Features" page, so people can go straight to the databases.

Emilio entered everything into these spreadsheets more or less single handedly. I translated the deity names into academic English. Emilio seems to have stopped short with translating everything though. Especially since Revelations doesn't even resemble a Megaten game terminology wise, it seems imperative to translate everything. If you can do the translating work, I'll pitch in and finish the tarot card graphics myself... just to get this all over with. I of course programmed everything... which was a lot of work, being our first database (and the first time the content of the site ever truly lived up to it's name tongue)

Anyway, we have a number of helpful links near the top of the Megami Ibunroku (Persona 1) spreadsheet. Everything you need to know is probably in one of those links. I'll go ahead and invite you to work on the spreadsheets, and I'll try to make sure you're working with them correctly once you get started. But like I said, probably you don't need to edit the Persona spreadsheet now. We really need work on the Stock Terms spreadsheet before we can move the Persona database out of the "Under Construction" section. Let me send you that email...


PS: Thanks for your continued support~

Had a look at it and translating it shouldn't be too much of a hassle (I hope). But before I get started I just wanna be clear....am I fill in the blank Localizations? or is it something else.... confused

I think what primarily needs doing is to just add rows to the terms table for all the classic stuff like Agi, Bufu, etc. Of course I already did a number of those (can't recall how far I got) ...then there are also a lot of extended magic families, and non-classifiable skills also that can just be tossed into the same bunch. The first field I think is for the Revelations skill name for now. Then there is just Japanese (in romaji -- maybe in kanji/hiragana as well... can't recall) ....and finally there is a field for just a straight best we can do English translation (edited: oh yeah, and don't forget original Japanese game names)

The goal is just to make sure when people are browsing the Megami Ibunroku database, there are no unnamed skills (in each of the three presentations; Revelations, Original, and Unofficial English Translation)

There will be a fourth for Atlus USA's PSP translation after that happens as well. If the reader is viewing the website in Spanish, then they will see Unofficial Spanish Translation instead... but that type of translation will be handled by a different database, so no need to think of it for now.

In short, we just need all the Megami Ibunroku skills indexed sweatdrop


^And later we can do the same for devils, items, etcetera doh


Edited: You can leave anything you're uncomfortable with blank. It's most important to just get the rows in there.
