Right now it's just the different threats I've used or will be using in our campaign. The next items on the agenda are:
1) Add a copy to clipboard function to make it easier to cut and paste them.
2) Add a "new threat" page so anyone can submit a threat to be included (though they'll have to be approved first, just in case a spambot finds the place and thinks it's worth posting to.
3) An edit threat page. Overwriting the original would require approval, but it could also be used to more easily save a slightly different version of a threat.
Without further ado, I give you the threats database (http://shadowrun.colugo.org/threats/).
Mod Edit: Fixed link

http://shadowrun.colugo.org/threats/ (http://shadowrun.colugo.org/threats/) This is the proper hyperlink. You have two " in the link that cause it not to work.
Nice job omae. I will be using this!

Thanks! And thanks to the mysterious mod who fixed it. I tend to cut and paste this type of thread to several sites and these boards aren't nearly as user-friendly with their URLs as the others. Looks like I mangled it while trying to massage it so it'd work here. :-[
-
Where is the add critters button? I poking around and I wanted to add some security & police critters to the list.
-
It's currently on the todo list. :)
The last few days have been filled with me trying to finish designing the run our group started last week. I should hopefully have an Add button and the copy function available this weekend. An edit function will take a little longer. :)
-
This is gorgeous. Thank you, sir.
-
Thanks!
I've got the code mostly written for the adding functionality, just gotta let it simmer overnight so I can finish it up and test it when I haven't been up for 23 hours. :)
The process right now will be"
1) go to the add page and create the new threat.
2) submitting it stores it and lets me know it exists, but doesn't move it to the live list yet.
3) I'll move them over ASAP, but until then you'll have a link to the temporary version, it just won't appear on the main page.
If we don't get a lot of "Seymour Butts" or "Enlarge your penis" submissions then I'll eventually take that middle step out and just go through and review new stuff every now and then instead of having to pre-verify it.
-
The ability to create a threat has been added. It gets created but not put in the live list (you can still view it yourself or even share the link). Once I get around to approving it, it'll be available on the main page. I'm guessing that the approval process isn't really necessary and just me being overly cautious. If/when that turns out to be true I'll take that step out and new threats will go straight to the database.
I've looked at having a copy to clipboard function but it looks like most browsers disallow that for security reasons and you have to use Flash to get around it. So for now that won't be happening.
-
Also, I'd like to add the ability to download a zip file of the entire database, so people can use them offline.

Yes. I do want this.
-
Couple of updates to the "add threat" functionality:
- Modified the ammunition row so that it outputs the clickable tables like the current threats have.
- Added a "Description" field.
- Added the ability to enter any field name wanted, in case the list that's there isn't enough.
Next on the agenda:
- make it so that vehicles have condition monitors for their rigger if they're rigged, or just one monitor if they're not.
- add the ability to zip it all up and take it with you.
-
I added a link for downloading all of the threats in a zip file. A few things that aren't immediately apparent about the threats:
- Clicking on a condition monitor box marks that box as fille, either by changing its background picture or it color. Clicking it again toggles it back to normal
- Clicking an edge box blacks that box in. Clicking it again clears it.
- Clicking on a bullet box in an ammunition section blacks out that bullet and all of the ones beneath it. Clicking on a clip blacks out the clip and reloads any blacked out bullets.
-
Adding vehicles is now possible. It'll let you put in the vehicle's stats and gives a condition monitor for it. If it's rigged then the rigger's monitor and stats are also available.
Now maybe some of the people who asked for an add button will actually use it. ;D
-
Btw James I just want to thanks you a lot, you tools are just great ! I'm not adding stuff too much because I'm not experimented enough (well IMHO) but still :)
-
The 'Hired Guns' have the Clubs skill assinged twice.
-
Well since I'm willing to help, I might just upload the pregen NPC from the SR4A book unto the site there is a couple of them that can be quite useful
-
Fixed the Hired Guns and approved the submissions. Thanks guys!
-
While I'm not very good at making NPCs I do find the database to be a useful resource.
Thanks.
-
Thanks to everyone who has submitted threats! I also added several of my own from our campaign.
