Subject: Halo Reach Game Finder (Reach4urPhone)

Will their be a downloadable version for windows 7? It doesn't really matter anyway, I have saved this thread and bookmarked the site because it is so awesome :). Great work again!

Not likely, sorry. I'll do a desktop-sized web app next weekend though and it'll basically be the same thing just in your browser. To conduct the search the app would always need an internet connection anyway. My skills are in web development and although I've done desktop applications I'm trying to move away from them and look to the future... which is web.

For Narnia!

This is really useful. I don't have to go through every game search for what I need.

  • 08.15.2011 6:27 AM PDT

That is a really nice site. It will come in handy.

I also have 2 suggestions:

1) Can we have a 0 deaths filter? Just to narrow it down slightly further.

2) If possible, can we search by medals? Like say I was looking for a match where I got a Skullimanjaro or something like that.

Thanks, and thanks for your suggestions!

1) Certainly, that's a pretty easy add in and I'll probably do it within the next 24 hours.

2) Unfortunately when I get a user's game history the info I get back doesn't have medal information, but I can get medal info by requesting more information about each of the player's games. This of course slows down the process and really hurts the servers but I should be able to do it as long as I impose a date range limitation of a month to reduce the total games the search would have to trawl through. I'll probably make that update within 24hours too so check back here for more info over the next few days.

I'm happy to take any mother suggestions and if possible implement them!

Awesome.

Also, the site initially worked fine for me, but now no matter how I define the search it returns the error "Input string was not in a correct format", am I suddenly doing something wrong?

Hmmm, which fields are you using? The only field that should throw an error like that would be if you are entering custom dates?

Actually maybe the gamertag fields could throw errors with weird characters, can you take a screenshot (F12) of the search form filled out and then another one of the error. Cheers.

Seems to be working fine from my end... Maybe my server is feeling the heat haha I've got quite a few hits (for me anyway :P)

This is quite a good creation. I like it!

Nice. I was waiting for someone to create this (I have no programming skills at all) since it was suggested a while back. It looks good (desktop version at least) and I'm looking forward to checking it out the mobile version when I get a change. Great job on it.

  • 08.15.2011 7:12 AM PDT

Thanks mate, it currently is all the mobile version. But it still looks okay on a desktop I guess. The desktop web version will be my project for next weekend :P.

I was only filling out the gamertag field and a couple in the game properties section. I will try and get a screenshot for you.

  • 08.15.2011 7:16 AM PDT

Looks very good, i'll have a play about now.

  • 08.15.2011 7:31 AM PDT

A little of the ol' doublepasta from me here.

It doesn't seem to find ANY results for me, i specifically searched for my last game with various fields but apparently I don't exist. Which is a shame, because I was utterly convinced I do. Now I'm not so sure :(

  • 08.15.2011 7:40 AM PDT

I finally got those screenshots. Uploading images from an iPod takes longer than I expected.

Can you please try a search again and if you can't find any games send me a screenshot of your search and the error message if any. Cheers.

  • 08.16.2011 1:23 AM PDT

Ahhh sorry my bad. Was trying to show a friendly message after a search if the result list had been capped but I made a mistake in the code. Should be right now! Unfortunately that's been there the past 24 hours :(

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to send me those screenshot, helped alot!

Both of these requested features have been implemented. In particular, I've created an "Advanced" section which is for the fields which I must limit date range searches to only a week, else the search takes too long (Bungie API limitation I'm afraid). But it all seems to work dandy.

I really like the idea about being able to search for games with say perfection medals or what have you.

Aquatic Deviation
Viaduct - Forge Hub Post

Make sure to comment if you download!

Not sure if anyone else has, but I'll give this a try on my Zune HD. It's pretty great on the computer from what I saw.

Edit-
Okay, I tried it out on my Zune HD and it was... not so great. The opening/main menu worked fine, but when I tried to enter any sub-menu with a search bar the search button was gone. Unfortunately, that kinda kills the entire idea. Also, in all of the sub-menus, the back button loses it's pretty shape and turns into a barely visible box stretched across the entire screen. Along with that, the page title, back button, and the in-text-box-water-mark that says "enter gamertag" is pretty mushed together. On all of the pages, the title is shifted to the far left side of the screen, generally just above the text of the back button.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person that has a Zune HD that plays Halo so it's no big deal.

If you would like me to take some pictures, I'll do my best, but unfortunately zunes don't have a screen capture tool.

Edit 2!-
Woah, after checking out a couple of the other pictures from the iOS version, it's waaaaay different. Less shiny, not functional, not smooth, a lot of distorted proportions on stuff. Sometimes I hate Microsoft and their silly Zune internet.

Hey mate, thanks for your feedback. It's a shame your having problems on the Zune but Microsoft browsers really do have a mind of their own. It's hard enough supporting IE9 let alone earlier versions. They just hate my sexy rounded corners, gradients and any new browser technologies.

Just out of interest, is there any way you can tell me what version of IE your zune has? I'll try and debug it from there.
