Please read these statements first
- This is free project and i consider it as amateur project , please lower your exceptation , i believe so there are many person / guild that have better tracker , hope they will share too next time.
- This tracker for Newbie Player like me who want to track own progress or guildmate (just for fun) , still need manual edit with many possible mistake happens especially with OCR
- It is not complete yet and can be expand more further if you have variant data in ex Hero Usage or Hero Lineup or War Attack etc , add your own if you think this project is good first-step to start.
- you need little knowlegde in Linux,Programming especially to setup OCR
- Dont expect or ask me to continue , i dropped this project due on bored and busy in real life
then what we need first is Draft or Template for Tracking
i am using Google Docs (Excel) for this , i was planning to convert to mysql and use php to display but dont have time to start.
Link : AK-Tracking-Dropped - Google Sheets
To Download , File > Make Copy to your own Drive or you can download it to your desktop.
and now you have copy of Excel then you can upload at your own Google Docs , here little explanation of TAB in Excel
and we are done with Template of Tracking.
there are few points i would say before you ask:
- OS (One shot) is manual based on minimum point , if 30vs30 i put 48 is minimum score as oneshot , it wont be 100% accurate , actually you can make it Auto if you record all minimum points in your guildmate , but i was too lazy to check in every war , i have life so dont blame me.
- API (Attack) , DPI (Defense) Performance Indicator , formula is to count your ATK-OS or DEF-OS , your minimum point , not sure if its correct formula since i am not Statistic Expert , just edit if you want it.
- Minimum Titan hit is 150,000 , you need to edit at “Format > Conditional Formating” if you want to change it
Now we are done with Template of Tracker , so problem is how input data into Excel since Game do not give us API to collect information. in the end there are 2 ways to deal with it :
- Manual Input , easiest way without any knowledge needed , just need your patiance and time.
- use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Tool , basicly you need to screenshot then use OCR Tool to convert Image to Text.
in fact , there are many OCR Tool , you can use Paid or Free one , personally i am using Telegram Bot + Google OCR , i found it easier with screen shot > Crop > Share to Telegram > get result , just like this
and this is how to deal with OCR + Telegram
