View Full Version : Formation Database

So I came into this section looking for a link to Syphon's database of forms, since I was interested in seeing how it had progressed since he first introduced it.
But, low and behold, in the strategy section itself...I find no reference. Time to fix that.
Black Syphon's formation database! (http://www.netjak-tao.com/adu/)
This database allows you search by FPS/Legends Gold/Grey, and even by keywords or unit composition in the advanced search.
Users viewing your setup can rate it and give comments.
When you submit a setup, you get to classify it, set keywords for people searching for it, define the unit composition, and add some description for the basic usage and tactics behind the setup.
Overall, it's a great piece of work, and easy to use/navigate.
Only gripe, at this time while it is possible to assign your name to the setup's you submit, you can't search the database by user (i.e. you can't search "Megabyte" and see all the setups I've submitted).

yes, I'm aware of the original thread, it's where I got the link from, but it's in the GD section and not even mentioned anywhere where it should be...here.
Some mod should make a sticky linking it, or some such.

I agree, I couldn't find it when I was looking for it. Until, I think I found a link to it in some one's sig.
I think all the new people (including myself) would appreciate a sticky for all of the strategy related links, including this one.
And RD, I used to like you... but wtf man.

I can add the search by name feature pretty easily, actually, if you like :)

Glad to see you back on FPS forums, du. You need to be more active in Legends, though **scold**. I miss you in NJ :(

I will be returning to NJ, I just have not logged in on "du" to find a leader. I joined judgment in order to play a tourney game, but I have finished that now.

1. I have implemented a sort by user function
2. You can sort formations by views now (they all just started count, so prepare to see some zeros)
3. I am back in NJ on legends
4. This double post is justified. :p

so wait... this thread is confusing... are we talking about the setups for playing pieces in TAO?

Yes @ the above question.
Anyway, since both Vintage and Du seemed to all but forget the formation database, I'm left to keep it cleaned up [sorry for anyone who has used it recently finding the forms smothered by a dozen of "Untitleds"-- blasted bots.

That would be a centre, mate [hence how the cleric and most other units are in the centre three spaces].
