I've been keeping track of file changes since like February, and I've always been meaning to release some of my tools.

Those of you in IRC may know it as lebot, the local bot that sometimes tells you when Planetside 2 live or test is updated. It also keeps track of all changes for me.

I'm currently working on making lebot autoanalyze changes, and while I'm doing that I've cleaned up the loading code and relocated the databases to a public location.


Live Database: http://testoutfit.info/lebot/RevisionData/livedb.txt
Test Database: http://testoutfit.info/lebot/RevisionData/testdb.txt

My loading code(C#): https://gist.github.com/RoyAwesome/6776703
Note: This code is not my finest work. It grew organically and I haven't gotten around to rewriting it/cleaning it up.

If you are a web developer and looking to make use of this information for whatever reason, PLEASE read this: http://testoutfit.info/lebot/RevisionData/

If you don't want to parse through a 30+mb of json text to find out whats up, you can always find the rather human readable reports here: http://www.testoutfit.info/lebot/RevisionReports/

You can make use of lebot without using any code by taking a look over here: https://github.com/RoyAwesome/ps2ls/wiki/lebot

Also, should you want to play around with downloading Planetside 2 yourself, I also have some code for that: https://gist.github.com/RoyAwesome/6772934

Nice work, Roy, as always. I'll be building time-based queries off of these.

Hey Roy, what's this used for?

I'm the source of shaql's raw patch notes and a few other fun things. VanuLabs also uses some of this stuff to figure out what to look at ingame.

In general, it tells us what actually changed. When they say they fixed gigantic PPA rounds, we see that they changed one line in skills.txt.

Also, I updated the readme page and added a donate button. If you want to see more of this or appreciate my work, feel free to drop me some pennies for my snack food fund.
