Entropia Universe Developer Resources
This document outlines the primary data sources and community resources required to build and maintain the Entropia-Tools suite. Use these sites to verify item stats, calculate costs, and parse game data.
1. Item & Game Mechanics (The "Database")
- EntropiaWiki
- Use Case: The most critical resource for weapon decay rates, ammo consumption, creature HP, and blueprint requirements.
- Data Type: Static item stats, weapon efficiency, and mob attributes.
2. Market & Economic Data
- Entropia Nexus
- Use Case: Real-time market tracking. Use this to pull daily/weekly/monthly markups for items.
- Data Type: Auction house history and markup percentages.
3. Loot Tracking & Global History
- Entropia Life
- Use Case: Cross-referencing "Global" and "HoF" (Hall of Fame) drops. Useful for verifying OCR/Log data against community-recorded drops.
- Data Type: Global loot feeds and player rankings.
4. Geospatial & Mining Data
- Entropia Planeteer
- Use Case: Coordinate systems and planet-specific mapping. Essential for the Mining Tracker module.
- Data Type: Interactive maps and resource distribution.
- PC-Center
- Use Case: Deep-dive analytics into mining finder depths and resource categories.
- Data Type: Mining depth tables and resource tier lists.
5. Technical References (Log Parsing)
- EL-Tracker
- Use Case: Reference for how third-party apps interface with the
chat.logfile. - Data Type: Log parsing logic and community tools.
- Use Case: Reference for how third-party apps interface with the
6. Official Source
- Entropia Universe Official Site
- Use Case: Monitoring Developer Notes and Patch Logs.
- Data Type: Client updates that may affect log file formats or screen layouts (impacting OCR).
Instructions for Coding Agent:
- Web Scraping: If building an auto-updater for item stats, prioritize EntropiaWiki.
- API Simulation: Since most of these sites do not have public JSON APIs, you may need to implement lightweight web scrapers or use local CSV exports where available.
- Accuracy: Always cross-reference weapon "Decay" values from the Wiki to ensure ROI calculations in the Hunter Module are 100% accurate.
