System Requirements

Installation

  2. Download ItemDB, extract the files to a directory.

Start to Use

  1. Run ItemDB.exe.

  3. Join a game.
  4. Let your player stay in the game for at least 10 seconds and then leave the game, item data for that player will be saved to the database.

The Graphic View
This is one of the most impressive features of this program, it redraws all items according to the data saved in the database, you may check item details by hovering the cursor on an item, just like what you would do in a game. And you can switch to List View or Query View anytime.

Special Item Locations

  • Right-click on the Horadic cube (if there is one) to open the cube UI and check items inside the cube. Click the close button or press [ESC] to close the cube UI.
  • Right-click on the mercenary portrait (if there is one) to open the mercenary UI and check items equipped by your mercenary. Click the close button or press [ESC] to close the mercenary UI.
  • Left-click on the "weapon-switch" location to alternatively display items in the primary and secondary weapon slots.

Data Deletion

To delete a realm/account/player, first select a realm/account/player, then click the delete button from tool bar. These operations only deletes data saved in the local database, the real game data are not affected.

Query the Database

Database query is an essential feature, after all, this is really what we want this program to do. You may query the database by "Keyword match" or "Expression match".

To use "keyword match", simply type your keywords in the input box, multiple keywors shall be separated by spaces, the database search is performed in a "particl match" basis against eack keyword, so if you input "shak", most likely "shako", "earthshaker (unique exceptional hammer)" and others will be listed.

Using "expression match", on the other hand, is an relatively advanced topic. You need to first understand the "Item Mod Expression" concepts, a tutorial can be found here, once you are familiar with mod expressions, you can type your expression in the input bow, make sure the "Expression" button is marked, and click "Search". For example, using expression "life_leech>5 && type==sword" will list all swords that have at least 5% life leech on them.

Data Export

By using "File->Export->Character Items/Query Results", you can export item information to disk files in HTML or text formats, please choose desired file formats from the "Save As" dialog. HTML format exports colorized item list, whereas text format exports text tables separated by TAB's, which allows the user to paste the text into applications such as Excel for further process.
