N3 Index - a reversed unit search

[CoveredInFish]

Do you remember the Infinity Reverse Unit Index? (http://infinity.virgule.net/) This tool, where you could find out which WIP 16 lieutenants with CombiRifles exist or which TO units have BS13.

I always found it extremly useful. Sadly, it wasnt updated for a long time and I have no hopes that this will change now. So .. beeing the change you want to see .. I stepped up and wrote a similar web-tool for N3.

So feel free to check it out.

I'm happy to get any feedback. There might be bugs I haven't found yet.

I make use of the Aleph N3 data - thanks to aleph-null for Aleph and his generosity. Without you the N3Index wouldnt exist.

Also big thanks to Corvus Belli for allowing such fan-made projects to exist in the public (and also for the great game and so on).

Excellent! Thanks! Can't properly check it out now but i will later or tomorrow, and point people at it

Nice. My first feedback would be that it would be nice to be able to see the available tags for skills/equipment. For example, I tried "msv" and got nothing, whereas "multispectral" got me what I wanted. Wonder if you could use some sort of auto-complete JS widget?

Handy tool though. Great work.

Yeah, i plan to implement this. It keeps fighting with me though

I succeeded - finally - just had to replace a library and rewrite all related code
However, now with more Cool(tm)...

Updates:

- added typeahead/autocomplete functionality for skills/equipments/weapons
- added ITS specialist filter
- share search results via link like http://bit.ly/1L7VpWx (well, the url-shortening has been done by hand ... EDIT: but is now done automatically)
- several minor fixes
- extended help function
