    Personally I'd like to see a beastiary on the game's main menu or something

    I'll just politely request that you update the correct unit names (Dox instead of Scamper). Obviously whatever thing you're using to generate this tool doesn't pull the names...perhaps you could add that feature.

    Except its not up-to-date. It seems to be several versions behind, actually. I'd been trying to use the database to update the wiki since its easier than trying to sort through the JSON files but as of right now its not reliable.

    Thanks man, your site is really useful. Could you list which patch the database is on the site?

    Good work yarmond, just wanted to find out how much damage a Hornet does, and your site did the trick nicely. One of the wikis didn't have a page for the Hornet. Plucking the data from the game itself is nice, and the design is simple and effective. Thanks.

    Exactly. The Gamepedia Wiki is horribly set up.

    But it's ok. I'm finished with Uni for the year.

    Cue: Edit war.

    PA Matches is so much cleaner and friendly. The official one is officially distracting.

    So pa-db often is kind of outdated, thus I am running my own version of it now. Thanks to yarmond for providing the code on github:

    http://www.nanodesu.info/pa-db/


    I will update this one just as fast I do with all my other mods :)
    Gonna add a link to the pa stats thing as well once I get to it.

    @yarmond: I hope you are okay with this, from the license on your github I'd say you are.

    Can't yamond give a couple if trusted people access to update the main one?

    Colin on yours you just have the unit name on the main page. It would be good to have the unit type a well like the main one.

    I am running whatever yarmond put on github just with the most recent data files from PA. I didnt really change it, only a few little things to make it run with my setup. So either yarmond has some private version or, which is more likely, PA changed and does not list the unit type in the name of the unit anymore.

    Something seems weird, it's not displaying what factory builds them on most of the units.

    Hmm yeah, it is weird. No idea what's wrong. Maybe PA just changed somehow. Or I deleted some files from the PA media data that padb uses by accident. Dunno. It does not log errors and it shows the most interesting things.
    python isn't among my favorite languages so I'll just keep it like this.
    The most important stats are visible.
    Maybe yarmond can tell us more.

    The "unit_name" attribute has been removed from all units. Also note the buildable types of factories have changed (they now require units to also have the "FactoryBuild" type, which was added to all mobile units built by them).

    Hey guys, I know there is a way to install this but just wondering how easy it is to do so. Would be beneficial to have my own copy during the balance test parts.

    Thanks in advance.
