Crossfire Database Project - Update

I am delighted to be able to report, that due to the outstanding efforts of the explorers of this community, all of the systems have now been allocated, and are currently being mapped.

The numbers are now:

Returned: 44
Allocated: 25
Unallocated: 0
Totals: 69

We will begin checking the first batch of 35 maps this weekend, and I am hopeful, that mapping will be completed as early as next Friday.

I should like to thank all those involved in this project, who through sheer hard work have put us where we are.

Top three explorers are:
Centaurian 9
Fitter55 9
DC_Thuban 7

@OP, my apologies, you are quite right, will not happen again

I am delighted to announce that the mapping phase of the database project is now complete. I would like to extend a big thank you to all those who helped, and I will if I may, publish their names in alphabetic order below.

Centaurian, DC_Haegar, DC_Thuban, Fitter55, Gunny, Harlan_Liner, NewPol, PiA_ChiefRedCloud, RGHawk, Streamer, Tranquil_Dominance, UAC-Ruivo and Wild1.

The checking is also done, so we are now left with the final stage, which is producing the published version. We have hit a slight snag, and I have contacted Blade to get guidance from him. I would hope that the delay will only be a matter of days, and then we will be able to hand this over to Op, for him to add the information for the Crossfire 1.6 mod.

I am pleased to advise the community, that Phase II of the Database project is now complete. I have moved all the data from the explorers reports into HTML format. The project will now split, with Op working on the additional information for the 1.6 Mod, and I will work on the aesthetics. (Must get Dark to lend me his crayons)

I should like to thank all of you who offered to help with this tedious work, and in particular Gunny and Blade, who gave support and encouragement throughout this long process.

As I have not advised you of any progress with the database, some of you may have wondered what has been going on.

Foolishly I decided that it was only partially complete, as it was missing information on ships and equipment. I have spent the time since my last post, adding this information. The database is now 99% finished, but as 1.6 is released this week, it has been decided to wait until this new information is added, before beta testing the results. This is to allow for further testing of the accuracy of the information, as well as find my unintended features (mistakes). It should also permit me to make minor adjustments in the aesthetics, when located in its intended home, the SWAT Portal site.
