Downtime

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:26:42 +0000

Hey everyone,

Sorry about the downtime you guys experienced earlier. The programs were not logging in correctly because of a failed table in our database. As I was on my phone, I couldn't quite fix the problem so Hydro went and repaired the table. Should be good to go now.

Homework Help Forum

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:30:40 +0000

Hi everyone,

We have created a Homework Help forum (located in General Chat) where you can post your questions having to do with homework assignments and such. We noticed the increasing frequency of topics having to do with homework, and felt that having a dedicated section for it would give these topics more focus as something that people need help on in a timely manner.

Enjoy.

Careful - Duped Items

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:13:49 +0000

Apparently the duped items issue hasn't been resolved. Originally it was Chokato (TCG) but there may be more. So don't accept any offers that are in overpay.

Overpay is like I have a Turmac petpet in trades. It's worth 3m but someone just offered like a Chokato (TCG) which is worth 12m. It's a duped item and their trying to get rid of it.

Especially if it is a Chokato (TCG). Even if you innocently get a duped item on your account you will most likely get frozen.

This is like morning old news. If anything happened (like TNT removed all duped items. Did they remove any yet?) since 18 hours ago please update us!

Manual UB Pricing FixedT

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:09:15 +0000

There was an issue with manual UB Pricing in the database. That has been fixed. Please price away!
To look up the unpriced items in a shop check "Use Price Range" and set it from 0 to 0.

Thanks! If you search an item and it is less then 100k move on to the next item as the pricers didnt get around to that item yet. You cannot submit a price lower then 100k.

Price away!

Here's a way to price from the search page. Without having to click each item to go to its item page then price it. It should have unpriced items. Like this:
http://www.neocodex.us/forum/itemdb/?app=itemdb&module=search§ion=search& item=&description=&rarity_low=&rarity_high=&use_price=1&price_low=0& price_high=0&use_shop=1&shop=7&search_order=price&sort=desc&lim=20

After you run a search. Copy paste this into your url bar:

javascript:function aSubmit(id){var newprice = prompt('Enter in the new price',''); if(!newprice){return} new Ajax.Request(ipb.vars['base_url']+'app=itemdb&module=ajax§ion=price'
,{method:'post',evalJSON:'force',parameters:{'md5check':ipb.vars[
'secure_hash'],'newprice':newprice,'id':id},onSuccess:function(t){if(Object.
isUndefined(t.responseJSON))alert("Bad request");else if(t.responseJSON['error'])alert(t.responseJSON['error']);else{$
('itemA'+id).innerHTML=''+t.responseJSON['newprice']
+' NP
Profit: '+t.responseJSON['newprofit'];$('price_price').innerHTML=t.
responseJSON['newprice']}}})} function rEdit(){var ids = new Array(); while(count = /id="item"(?:.|\n|\r)*?\/(\d+)-(?:.|\n|\r)*?Unpriced/
g.exec(document.body.innerHTML)){ ids.push(count[1]) } alert(ids.length + ' unpriced items on page. Will now edit in links...'); for(var i=0; iUnpriced','Submit Price');} alert('Edit complete! Price away!!!')  } rEdit()

Neologs - Installment 4

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 06:33:55 +0000

Ok so Thursday was New Years and so install 4 was delayed by two days. But here we see the release of the Cliffhanger and Daily Puzzle systems.

Cliffhanger is just a solver and dictionary of puzzles. If you know of any that are missing or if any new ones come up let us know please. It's pretty cool though. Especially the detail version. Really makes solving puzzles easy. Identify the words in your puzzle. Click on that number. And next to the puzzles are brackets containing the number of letters each word is. And its all sorted in increasing word length So count blank words in puzzle and number of letters in first two words and you'll find your answer right away! Or use the solver.

Daily Puzzle gets the answer every day. It should be up 12:05 am nst. Prizes are not always found so please supply the database with the prize of the day
There's a known bug with the daily puzzle system. The answer for today is not loaded into the large box at top. But it is in the logs. So just look down for now. This bug will be fixed in the next mass update. I need dro!

Credits for the daily puzzle image to phillywilly gosh its an amazing image he drew the frickin ears!
Credits for the cliffhanger image to cory amazing cut out there.

(I also decided to post this early since I might not be on later. )

Neologs - Installment 3

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:03:51 +0000

Alright its next Thursday and we have installment 3 of Neologs. In this installment we have a Faerie Crossword system and a Turmaculus system. The Turmaculus system predicts when the guy will be up and gives logs of past wake times. This system also provides an alert to the Neoalerts system.

The Faerie Crossword system is a database of all the faerie crossword answers and hints. You guys can help complete the database. Sometimes a word is not found and is marked "???". Please click it and submit the answer if you know it. Do not submit wrong answers you will be banned from any input to the neologs system. So we are now the first people to solve the faerie crossword everyday on the second

The database side of the FC system offers a solver. Copy paste your hint and hit solve

[ItemDB] Outlier Detection Being Improved

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:42:42 +0000

Hey all,

As you know, we're continually striving to improve the accuracy of our items database. An issue that has come up recently is some random spikes in the price of an item. Good examples of items that jumped around enough to cause problems were:

Boiled Egg
Visor
and other Tiki Tack items...

Their price would basically multiply many fold due to a couple bad outlier prices being submitted to our database.

With our past outlier detection system, if more than one outlier entered our system, we could easily identify and remove it. However, during additional tests using two outliers in a data set, our outlier detection failed to notice that outliers even appeared in the data. We have now created a secondary system to deal with this.

On another note, the other day, we hit a record of 94 users concurrently submitting data to the database in a one hour period. Good job, automation rocks!

We'll continue to monitor the integrity of our prices and improve the system further if we need to. Thanks everyone for supporting the database thus far.

Neologs - Installment 2

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:04:36 +0000

Alrighty finally another installment to Neologs. Next Thursday we'll have another release. And every Thursday after that for a few weeks.
So the first release is Neodictionary. This is a log of all the words in the neopets dictionary. You can use this to help you with all word related flash games. Two especially:

Castle of Eliv Thade
Word Poker

Solvers for these to games are also included.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v135/noitidart/neologs_install1.png

Small circles around Word Poker and Castle links because they all link you to the main page. On the bottom of the Neodictionary page there is an about section. This is a very simple explanation of the games.

This release may not be of total use for everyone. But hopefully the future ones may help a bit. They are mainly logs of Neopets *stuff*.

Neocodex Advent Calendar - 2009

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:00:39 +0000

Greetings fellow community members.

Some of you may and some of you may have not seen this before, but usually, we run a series of giveaways for our members around this time of year - and this year will be no exception!

For those of you who are new to this, similar to the Neopets Advent Calendar - we're giving away prizes for most of the Holiday Season. Due to a late start from ... yours truly - this Advent Calendar will be running from December 5th to December 25th - so that's 20 chances to win all throughout december!

This one will be run a little different from last year - everyone who wishes to enter will have to PM me (Dan) and for each one of these days, a member will be chosen at random (completely random, no bias, using a random number generator).

There is no prerequisite to being eligible for the Advent Calendar. Simply PM me, let me know you're interested and your name will go into the hat.

NOTE: There are 20 chances to win, but there are unlimited spots. If we have more than 20 members, I'm afraid some may lose out! Sorry!!
NOTE #2: Upon winning a day's prize, you will be taken off the list for the other days - to make it fair.
NOTE #3: I will attempt to spread prizes around equally each day, but every now and then I might... give a big prize out

Auto Trainer 1.0.0 Released!

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:39:43 +0000

For those of your prepping for the newest plot release (If you're not. Go here and get on it!). We are happy to bring you a Pet Auto Trainer!

What this program will do, is it will intelligently level your active pet(Via this guide). It will then pay for the course, either by using Codestones in your Inventory/Safety Deposit Box or purchasing them, and it will then wait for your pet to finish training, and do it all over again!

Now, its important to note that if you log in via the program itself, then whenever your pet has finished training, the program will re-login. This enables you to visit neopets while your pet is still training!

The freeze rate has not been tested completely yet, but given that it only makes 3-6 posts to the neopets webpage, ever 2-24 hours. Its not a high change.

Future versions will include Mutlipet training, custom stat training, training for agility as well, and for the other two training locations. So stay tuned!
