RP Manager

Znurre · 05-02-2010, 03:47 PM

Introduction

So, I was bored this weekend and decided to code something.
2 years ago or so, I created an application called 'RP Manager' which I never really released to the public because of the low quality of the code.

I decided to build on this idea, and create a new application from scratch with the extended knowledge I now have about Qt4 and C++.

Description

The purpose of the application is to fetch the ranking pages from the Regnum site and display them in a nice format, with several added features compared to the pages themselves.

Features

Show all 540 entries of the RP list from all realms, all classes, sorted by column(s) chosen by the user.
Show RP earned within a timespan chosen by the user.
Show graphs of the RP curve of a selected player.
Copy one or several row(s) of information from the table to the clipboard for use elsewhere.
See trends, who has risen or fallen on the list within the selected timespan.
Search for player names easily and get their position in the RP list.
Supports multiple servers.

Screenshots

Requirements
Qt 4 (Tested with 4.6)
kdelibs 4 (Tested with 4.4)

Download
You can find the sources here.
If someone is interested in contributing a package for their distro, or a Windows/MacOS binary, contact me and I will add it to the downloads.

Installation

Extract the archive
Open a terminal in the folder created and run:
Code:
```
qmake
make
```
If the process was successful, you can start the application by running:
Code:
```
./RPManager
```

Enjoy and good luck!

Wow this is awsome, I could do with a windoze version if anyone were able to code it (i dont have a clue about coding).

This app works for Windows, MacOS, Linux, S60, and any platforms where Qt apps can be compiled.
I do not however have a Windows installation myself so I cannot compile a Windows version for you.

If anyone is skilled enough to create a Windows build, I would gladly help distribute it

Nice app Znurre, works fine for me on Arch with KDE-Mod. One thing that I do not see working is the graphing or history functionality. The exact error from the GUI is:

Code:

No history files found for the specified timespan. Some functionality has been disabled.

This is when starting up and also when using the calendar function. No error output is being displayed in the terminal. No error was seen when compiled with qmake then make.

Code:

I wonder does this mean this app must consistently have multiple days of where the RP Manager must download all the statistics so it can compile the chart itself? Am I correct in thinking that this application just pulls the dynamically created text file from the RO rankings page so that it can then display the current statistics and compare them to previous downloaded textfiles from previous days? If that is so then it explains why I can't get a historical comparison just based off of todays download.

Nice Znurre, I'd been toying with the idea of doing something like this (but more rudimentary) in python.

Very nice

I'm not a fan of Qt, but your app rocks!

Hmm... Porting this to a webapp in python sounds like a good idea. Instead of hitting the poor website all the time we could have two or three servers checking the status (with an API to allow desktop apps to access that information.

).

PS: I had to install qt4-qmake, qt4-dev-tools and kdelibs5-dev.

That's correct.
It would be better, as ArtcticWolf says, to have some kind of relay inbetween handling that part so that the user don't have to bother with that

Oh, btw, make sure it can actually read the files from the history folder (check working folder) because the version I shipped should include my personally fetched history files for the past days for both Horus and Ra.

PS. Why don't you like Qt?
It's written in C++, cross platform, has a great API with access to everything from GUI to network sockets natively on any platform, perfect integration with GTK-environments, Qt/KDE-environments, Windows-environments and MacOS-environments, is very high performant and is also very easy and powerful.

I will look into moving the ranking fetching part from my code (NetworkHandler.h, more or less) to a separate app and have it run 24/7 on my server.

I have a python hosting in regnumcentral.com.ar reserved for future projects. I was thinking about having a RESTful API to make it highly portable (i.e.: you can use libcurl in c/c++, urllib2 in python, java.net.URLConnection in Java). It doesn't have a lot of disk space, but logs aren't going to take much anyway.

PS: It's just I had problems with qt in Debian some time ago. I should give it another chance, maybe. :P
