ZeroSubstance Borderlands DB

Figured I should finally fix the site.
New user registration is disabled.
Anonymous comments & db additions disabled.
Old forum accounts still work.
Pretty much just a read-only copy of the DB.

I've got a pretty good hosting company for the site and I'm running some ads for them promoting some stuff for them

So I'll have some ad's up on the DB & Forums for them.

Depending on how willowtree works out I might work the BL2 section to use the new gibbed format for weapons/item exports.

Looks like this if you copy a weapon and paste it into notepad

BL2(hwAAAAAf7wD//////w8A/A==)

A lot simpler to manage compared to the willowtree format for BL1

Download & run the setup, I just installed that and its a newer version of gibbeds. Looks like it auto updates too I think.

Well I have been playing around with Gibbed's editor and so far weapon modding looks doable but it still has a long road to go. I have been modding weapons but part selection is limited for anything working; Until the system that controls what parts are valid in relation to each other is truly disco...

From what I gather the people behind willowtree 2 are just getting their stuff together, haven't heard much about gibbed's stuff though, probably just an early build floating around. Though from looking at the player data dump using this program it's just a matter of getting part id references match...

Nice, tried this out on one of my fuck around chars, worked for adding skills points and eridium so far.

Yeah, we have nothing to do with willowtree, can't help you out here, sorry.

It looks like that gamespy garbage is gone so it rely's on Steam for friends and shit.

Haven't looked into modding yet, doing the same as Drew.

If the modding is relatively the same compared to BL1, then I will be able to add it in without too much work, can't say much right now though.

Welp, 4 hours to unlock.

A weapons format just like BL1, so I don't have to recode too much of the weapons & items system here.

It's back up.

Did some fancy ass magic.

Basically there are 2 connections to 2 different SQL databases that the weapons db uses. The BLDB & The PhpBB SQL databases. The way they were connected to before was handled by a PHP extension called MySQLi, and it allowed for there to be two open connections to different tables and databases t...

Alright, so from what I can tell some stuff got changed on my hosts end regarding the php configuration and it caused a shit load of extensions from loading correctly and in turn killing the site essentially. I have managed to get the forums back up through some slight modifications to the PhpBB cod...

http://camstudio.org/ for recording your desktop, don't know about mouse zooming though, but it does have click highlighting. I then work with my videos in Premiere Pro, but you need a beastly computer to fluently work with anything higher than 720p. I use it daily at class for some side projects of...

PC mainly, haven't played in a long time though, too much time spent on college, work, and some other things.

I believe you have to hex edit some weapons after adding them to your save game, it may also be that the weapon uses parts that don't mix together in newer patches. I know a few of the guys around here can point you in the right direction.

Basically since BL2 doesn't come out until September (right?), it's a waiting game until somebody creates a save editor, if Gearbox doesn't lock down the saves or anything. I have to wait until such a tool is even out to know how the weapons are stored and how the build the DB structure. If they kee...

Pretty bad ass, can't wait.

Now to finish all the updates I need for the DB I've promised for so long ....

Morbid already said the gear calc doesn't quite cut it.

It is.

Easiest way is using the PC version and exporting directly from Borderlands. For consoles can't say too much outside of using a (fairly expensive) capture card, or using a digital camera and taking a picture of your tv.

An anti-death mod shield? Nice.

Death mods are the only the only items I've ever had a problem with, and the only thing you don't find on here. This is a nice counter-measure.
