[Grim Tools] Builds

Thanks, I really like seeing my builds presented nicely on grimtools.com/builds/author/tqFan

51

Ah, I found the issue. 3-4 months ago I changed crawler logic to include only guides that have a video (95% of recent guides at that time had it) - in my opinion guides with videos are more relevant and have better quality. The forum thread in question doesn’t have any vids.

Ah, good to know - than I will just accept that my builds will no longer be listed.

53

This thread has been qualified as a build incorrectly:

Thanks. Added it to ignore list.

55

Could you tell me what to change about [1.1.9.7] SSF Physical Eye of Reckoning Warlord | leveling and beginner build | HC friendly
so that it’s included in the build list? Or maybe add it to the list of exceptions?

Might be that the linked videos are not correctly seen by the script and your guide therefore does not fulfill the inclusion criteria :dunno:

Yeah, perhaps build crawler doesn’t like the videos, there should be at least one video that “looks like a guide”, 2-3 minutes long. I didn’t check the vids in the forum thread, but it may be the reason.

I have a lot of videos in my guide

  • how to farm Aether Crystals

  • how to spend devotion points

  • how to farm ugbenblooms

  • how to farm Gargoyles

  • how to play Crucible in the beginning

  • how to farm Death’s Vigil reputation

  • how to powerfarm Vinelton (in to versions)

  • showcases how the builds handles the most important bosses

I also have a lot of things on the Grim Dawn channel, you are welcome ))

There was an issue with thread title parsing. It’s fixed and your build now shows up in the build list.

Hi. It seems to me builds are sorted by their creation date.
How about sorting them first by game version to promote the most up to date builds and encourage updating?
I updated a build thread from 1.1.7.x to 1.1.9.7 and it’s buried still by a ton of old builds.

62

Fair point! For now I retained sorting by created_date desc for initial results (“Recently added builds”), but if any filter is applied, e.g. game version, then it will be sorted by build_version_base desc, updated_date desc (previously it was sorted by build_version_base desc, created_date desc).

Hmmm… I don’t think it works or maybe the threads need to be bump to be reparsed / resorted?

The logic is working correctly, but there seems to be a problem with caching (it just doesn’t refresh when a build is updated, only when it’s added). I’ll have to look into this.

@Dammitt Could you please look at these two builds? For some time these threads were owned by me but they are not anymore (I suspect for weeks now) yet they still belong to me in the database (scroll at the end to see them) Builds created by tqFan - Grim Dawn Builds

I updated the author manually for these two builds.

@Dammitt Hi, haven’t you thinked about adding a text note field for each build? So we can have a quite standalone build repository with written guides in it. Text editor with simple markdown support shouldn’t be a big problem to implement. Now you have to constantly switch between sites/videos to track the build especially while leveling a new one.

Another nice but quite more complex thing is an ability to have several build iterations on one page. Like buttons to switch between builds. Useful for slight build variations and especially leveling guides by level breakpoints.

@Dammitt GT is missing the +1 summon limit to wendigo totem for the “bone sycthe” FYI! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Nvm, I’m blind.
Scythes bellow Lv 70 don’t seem to have it.

Thanks for the suggestions, both are somewhere on my todo list. Not sure what the exact implementation will be, but I wanted to implement this one way or the other.
