For a while now, I've been fiddling around with a tool to do automated audits of multiplayer manifests and make useful (if asthetically boring) badges from the info. It seems to be working well enough now, so I thought I might share it with the community.

The badges:

Percentage Completion:


This just gives the percentage of each Weapon, weapon Modification, Character, and Gear. I'll note that, due to the size of the circles and the number of pixels available, they might be off by as much as 3%.

Preparedness:


Things are green if you have enough to enter a mission with a full loadout of the consumable. They're red if you're out of that consumable. They're yellow if you have some, but not enough. Though (at the moment that I'm posting this) mine are all green, I'm actually a crappy player who uses too much medigel, so I usually have a wonderful red cross on it...

Expected packs to completion:


This tells you the expected number of packs until you've unlocked all of the rare (gold) level items. It also happily reports the number of credits it would take and the number of US dollars you'd need to do it. There's obviously some maths going on here and statistical estimation, so I wouldn't take it as the definitive number, but I think it is interesting nonetheless.

Weapon levels:

Show your weapon levels graphically.

Promotion Distribution:

Shows your current N7 level in the foreground and the distribution of promotions in the background. Adept promotions are blue, soldiers are red, engineers are orange, sentinels green, infiltrators grey, and vanguards purple.

Challenge Completion:

Shows how far along you are in completing each of your challenges. Silver are the sub-challenges, gold are the challenges that (nominally) have an associated banner. The gold also includes missable weekend challenges that have banners.

Uber Badge:

A choice selection of the other badges smashed into one image so more can fit in your signature.

Unlock Efficacy:

An estimation of your efficiency at unlocking rare and ultarare items based on your playtime and manifest state. This is also the most depressing badge.

Weekend Challenge Completion:

Gold stars are good, grey stars are bad.


Anyway, if you want to get your own badge(s), I have a page that generates them here:

FAQ:

How do I link the image in my profile?

[*img]your image url[*/img]

Remove the stars and it'll work

Why don't I have blue circles?

That happens when my poller can't pull your data for whatever reason. If your profile is set to private, I can't generate an image. There may be other reasons that I can't pull your data, but I don't really know what they all are, yet.

Hey, I heard you have a cool website where you review video games.

That's not a question. Though if you're interested, it's called One-Factorial.

Wait, nobody asked that question!

That's not a question either.

Why does my badge have your name in it now?

When Bioware did the big stats system update after the Retaliation DLC, my stats polling and parsing system had to be updated. Unfortunately, this made all of the old badge have invalid parameters. They now load the default user information, which happens to be mine. TLDR: just go get new image links.

Neat idea. You have the names for color schemes, and the color schemes mixed compared to the implied. White on Black implies White text on a Black background, and vice versa.

I personally don't think the consumables one is all that useful due to how slow the manifest updates. I.e. I got Demolisher over 24hrs ago, but it only showed up in the past 5 minutes.

Be really cool if this got added into the Manifest Detailer, to give a quick rundown of a person's full manifest.

[mybudgee]

Just tried it...

[Pyth the Bull]

Haha, very retro.

[GuyBlade]

@Blackest_Knight Put together the whole thing and I manage to miss the glaringly obvious. Good catch, I've fixed it.

What do you mean when you say "Manifest Detailer"?

[Blackest_Knight]

Not sure if it's working though? My sig seems to take the img format in the viewer but not in the actual forums?

Edit: No, it works now... weird, but ok!

As for the detailer... ahh lemme see if I can get the link.

@Pyth the Bull: Yeah, I'm not super artistic, so I thought minimal would be less likely to offend the senses of others.

I like it.

[CrossKaiser]

This is amazing!

[Dein Justin]

Cool...now I have to look like a complete noob with my manifest. lol. At least I have that countdown sig to look forward to.

[Daveros]

I'm quite taken with this, from an ingenuity level if nothing else. Thank you, and well done.

[Distilled Poison]

Slightly confused as to why my consumables are red, but otherwise, very cool.

Failed attempt at sig-ging..how do you sig? 

[GuyBlade]

@Distilled Poison: My guess is that it isn't properly pulling your data. If you have more than one manifest, it preferentially chooses PC. I was aware of this possibly being an issue, but wasn't sure if it was common enough to write a fix for it...

[GuyBlade]

 @Justin Dien: Surround the link with square brackets containing img and /img respectively.

[Distilled Poison]

Ah, I see. Weird that it'd get 2/3 of the data from the right manifest. Or maybe not, I'm no programmer.

[GuyBlade]

@Distilled Poison: At least I know it happens and someone that it happens to, that means that I can fix it and have test data I can check it against.

Mine does the same thing. I have 255 of everything right now and it is showing red for all of them.

Also, this last one seems unlikely. I have all rare weapons and characters maxed, now I mostly get Level 4 consumables, so my drop rate of the rare gears is much lower than 1.8 per pack. though I doubt there is much you could do about that.
