How were they able to upload the data onto their website from the game? If anyone has an answer to this who can message me please let me know.
You won't get this information. It is a secret and the only way that SE does not shut down XIVDB. It's a custom program though. After patch drops, it mines all the information from the data files in the games, parses it, then it is dumped into their database.
http://ffxivexplorer.fragmenterworks.com/ You can export the information from there, parse it and then upload it.
I was going to mention that, but i think it only does a few types of data (like models, sound effects, etc) just saw he added table data looking again, cool!
I really appreciate this! I will be putting it to use. Thanks so much, it's actually exactly what I needed.
Here is another tool you may find useful for your mining efforts. https://github.com/Rogueadyn/SaintCoinach Good luck to you!
This is exactly what I need: https://github.com/MINIONBOTS/FFXIVMinion/blob/master/ffxivminion/ffxiv_item_data.lua How can I turn that data into visual GUI tables? or import it into a excel sheet so it doesn't have to be done manually?
