We've done a bit of redesign of iDB and added a new feature.
The new layout was done beautifully by
Nan and we thank her for her efforts.
We also added our brand new
weapon simulator to help you try out some weapons if you are considering purchasing them. Not all weapons are compatible with the simulator, but the most popular weapons are.
You need to be a member of iDB in order to use it. Follow this
link for instruction on how to register an account.
To use the simulator, you need to create a set that you wish to use. This is done by browsing our weapon library and dragging weapon images into the equipment cart. Note that only weapons with "
bd sim enabled" tags on them can be added to the cart. Although we do not intend to program all weapons for the simulator, you can
request a weapon to be programmed into the system if you wish. If the weapon is interesting enough, we might go ahead and do it.
The equipment cart appears only on pages with weapon information on them (
example) and appears as a small tab on the right hand side of the page. Clicking on the arrow will expand it, and you can start dragging weapons into it. The top part of the cart is your equipment, while the bottom half is for the AI.
You need to equip both yourself and the challenger AI before using the simulator. Once done (you need at least 1 weapon each to test), visit the
simulator page and fill out the rest of the form with appropriate information. (strength, defense, and HP are the most important, the rest of the values can be anything.
We have a couple more features to be released soon, but we want to make sure that current ones are working before releasing the next.
Please report any problems you might see in our
forum so that our staff can handle them.
