Aster's PW Tools New Location

asterelle

Hi all.

First I'd like to thank the old player Vixter for providing hosting for my site these past many years with good uptime. That player has long since quit and after this last DNS expiration issue it's time I stopped imposing and moved the site to GitHub which is a more suitable location.

https://asterpw.github.io/pw/

If the old hosting comes back I will have it redirect to this new location.

The game actually has a built in calculator now so some of these tools are not as needed as they once were but the "Elysium NPC Locator" is still very active and used every day by hundreds of people.

Since "Elysium" is kinda meaningless and I'm migrating the site anyway I've renamed that tool to "Homestead NPC Locator" and it can be found here:

https://asterpw.github.io/pw/homesteadnpcs/

Please update any links or bookmarks to the new location.
Thank you.​​

The Wiki did not let me update the URL to my stuff on the following pages due to 'spam' protection:

https://pwi.gamepedia.com/War_Avatar_System
https://pwi.gamepedia.com/Star_Chart
https://pwi.gamepedia.com/Genies
https://pwi.gamepedia.com/Homestead (new url is http://asterpw.github.io/pw/homesteadnpcs/)​​

Looks like it got updated before I woke up, I'll check to make sure some weren't missed on various pages. In the future if you need to update links just make 3 edits and you should be good to go. Can just be 3 small edits to your own profile. Thanks for letting us know!

EDIT: Went through and updated any remaining links I could find on the wiki, so they should all be correct now. Will have to go through other external links and check those one day...

I updated the links before going to bed but I was too sleepy to leave a comment. Thank you for your work with these tools all these years.​​

thank you @asterelle for your time with all of these tools and time keeping them running.

A lot of us use them and they are part of PWI.

Thanks.​​

Your old domain seems to be restored​​

Maybe mention the site does not work well with some extension like "Https Everywhere" that makes the web site reload the 1st page you access infinitely.

Sorry asterelle, I took so long to say thank you, I been using your hard work for at least 2 years, maybe 3, so thank you, it has saved me lots of time and searching and I know i would have quit doing homestead quest without your npc locator.

asterelle

@technoplume3 Unfortunately the backend I am using for the NPC locator page does not seem to support https so I can not support https at this time. For now it will just redirect to http. I do have a plan to migrate the PHP stuff to google cloud or AWS which is probably better.

@wnxbillyusa No problem! That NPC locator thing has probably saved me more time than I spent making it, the people who keep it updated are the real MVPs.​​

@asterelle Hey, can you check the auto refine thing? For me it is kind of glitched, i can not add rules to the auto refine.

@pasarinho Wow that must have been broken a long time... fixed. ​​

Thank you so much, you rock!

@technoplume3 I ended up migrating the backend of the NPC locator to a cloud service which supports https so https works now. It's now backed by an actual database instead of a little php script writing json to a file. Hopefully there won't be any more issues with that going down (which has happened a handful of times).
