HB Game database

10 May 2010, 10:15

I have begun work installing a new project named HB Game database. Those using the Prosilver or SE Pro style can already begin seeing changes. All credits to the author madmartyau for his beta release on phpbb.com.

The goal is to make a tool which make it easy to see what you're friends are playing at a glance, and at the same time see what games are most popular in HB.
I have plans to use the database as a tool to make game specific content released only to people listed as owning said games.

To start using the database simply login to you're User Control Panel (UCP), and select "Games". On the left you can choose between "Games Owned" and "Add Games". And under categories you can choose between "Multiplayer" and "Singleplayer" games.

1. To get started click "Add Games" and choose a category.
2. Tick the select box beside the games you own, and click submit at the bottom. The selected games will now appear under you're "Games Owned" list. Every can now see you own the particular game.
3. To assign a game as currently actively played by you, click the little Image image on the right of the the game. You're name will now show up highlighted next to the games in the list view.

Update: You can now mark games as owned by you directly from the Game list view by clicking the little Image image under each game.

I have started adding games, descriptions and covers. But if you are spending time playing a game I haven't added to the list, please post in this thread so I can add the game to our database.

Id like to support the League of Legends as well.. its a really great game if you liked the Dota mod for Warcraft 3. And as a added bonus.. its completely free.

Go take a look at it, I have enjoyed it alot the games I have had.

As mentioned its basically a improved version of Dota where you "your summoner" gain levels, gain mastery points and the ability to equip runes/glyphts and seals to improve your way of playing. So they combine the appeal of the mmo with progression trough play, with the great gameplay of Dota.

While you play you earn exp, to gain levels, and Influence points, you can use to buy runes/glyphts/seals and unlock heroes.

And some time during the next 4 months you should prob add World of Warfcraft: Cataclysm :)

Im sorry if this have turned into a wall of text.. but I hope to see many of you people online, and maybe even try a game or 2 :)

Thanks guys,
I added League of Legends. Go add you're games in the UCP. :)

As to Cataclysm, I'm unsure if we should add expansions or only the "base" games. Right now I'm thinking it might not add more info, but more clutter. What do you think?

Re: HB Game database

i think your right on the clutter, if you play wow, 90% of the times you will have the expansions too :)

Re: HB Game database

Ye, good point.. prob just have the base game, as exinferis say most people that play it will have the latest expansion.
