Path of Maps - Track your map runs

@niuage I do not trust anything from Autohotkey because every time I hear of someone using it for something in a game they end up with a ton of computer issues later. So just not worth the risk imo.

@ChronoExile I will keep an eye out for such a keyboard as I am in the process of looking for a new one anyways.

I released an update tonight with a few things:

Rip command

> rip, > rip 2 or > rip +2 (read the doc to learn more).

The rip command allows you to track your deaths. If you're in HC, and use the "> rip" command, the map will get a special treatment.



You can find maps with rips by typing "rips > 0" in the search bar.

New syntax to search maps by IIQ, IIR, PS, Q etc

To search maps by tier, you can use "t > 10" for instance, but when it came to search by iiq, you had to do "> 50 iiq". It was a bit confusing, so I decided to change it. Now, you always use the field first, then the value: "iiq > 50".

ex: http://pathofmaps.com/maps?q=iiq%20%3E%20150%20ps%20%3E%2040

Sort your maps!

That was requested by bernd_benis. He wanted to be able to see the best maps he ran. You can order maps by iiq, normalized iiq (which takes pack size into account), iir, pack size, quality and rip count. To do so, use the "by" command in the search bar.

ex: http://pathofmaps.com/maps?q=%40bernd_benis%20by%20niiq

"

by iiq

will sort maps by iiq.

"

by niiq

will sort maps by normalized iiq.

etc.

I think that's it, enjoy :)

What's your biggest feature request right now?

Next release, I'm gonna improve how tracking drops and divination cards work :) There wont be a need to record 10 differents jewelers, you can just record the stack, and it'll display the stack size on the site.

What you have to be careful about is that once you recorded a stack, you probably want to move it out of your inventory. Otherwise, let's say you record a stack of 10 jewelers, then leave it in your inventory. You continue your map, and a jeweler drop. You'd now be recording a stack of 11 jewelers, which will then be displayed as a stack of 21 jewelers on the site (10 + 11)... So my advice would be to record currency and div cards only when moving them to your stash, not as they drop. It's more time efficient anyway :)

Have you gathered any sustainability statistics from the data? For the past few days I've been running T5 maps in an effort to build a T6 pool, but rather the opposite seems to be happening. My T5 pool is dwindling and there hasn't been a single T6 drop. I'm wondering if the sustainability breakpoint really is this low or if I'm just having a streak of horribly bad luck?

How many have you run? It's reaaaally surprising to me that you cant sustain T5 maps. Do you have an item filter with sound? Have you been killing most mobs and bosses? I think you're just having terrible luck.

I always try to fully clear maps, but might not bother hunting down the last half-dozen enemies. Most likely it was just bad luck; I started to write down the map drops I got and since then I've gotten some better drops. See here for results. Funny how complaining on the Internet makes problems go away even if no one actively does anything about them.

You won't see this anymore going forward! That's what it'll look like from now on:



So basically, if you record a stack of currency, the stack size will now be displayed. If you then record more of the same currency, or divination card, it will just be added up to the already recorded stack. So what I recommend would be to track currency only when you're moving it to your stash, so that you don't track the same currency twice :)

As usual, let me know if you have issues with it! Thanks.

ps: I haven't gone back and updated the previous maps yet, but I might.

@niuage i... feel slightly embarrassed that my OCD fest in vaults of aztiri is used for the example of old school style of currency logging. ;) i went through and reduced all my other map drops to single entries for large stacks. i dig this change. how are you feeling on dropping shard logging?

Haha, sorry! You were not the only one. And it's great, you motivated me to finally add this feature. I think logging things like jewelers makes more sense now that you can just track whole stacks.

Regarding shards logging, I don't understand the need personally, but if you want to log them, go ahead :)
