I am a stats junkie. I wrote my own Javascript/PHP page that scrapes search results from the HTML as I play Urban Dead.

News

No updates, most of my alts are dead. --Rupert 06:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool! Bargain Hunting doubles your odds of finding something in a mall, even if the mall is ruined! This means the best place to find first aid kits when everything is ruined is still a mall. A ruined mall beats a lit hospital. Ha! --Rupert 04:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Most of my alts are now revived. I'm seeing some strange things with the odds since The Dead have trashed most of Malton. On March 24 all my alts suddenly had an obscene success rate for finding syringes. And what's with the high success rate in dark malls? --Rupert 05:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I continue to find First Aid Kits at an amazing rate. --Rupert 03:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

No updates. Stopped playing when The Dead were around because I felt the changes to the game's search odds were a violation of the spirit of the game. Let The Dead win, Kevan, don't change the search odds in an attempt to stop them. I've been playing again lately, as zombies, and it's fun. No searching though. I've been collecting stats on zombie attack rates instead (debarricading, equipment smashing, mauling, biting). If anyone resurrects any of my alts, I'll look into the new drug store search odds. I hope the drastic reduction is true. --Rupert 21:24, 16 October 2008 (BST)

Building Condition

Here are the odds so far of finding something versus nothing using the data that I have and assuming that all buildings in the same condition have the same odds. 

+--------+-----------+--------+---------+----------+-----------+-------+---------+

+--------+-----------+--------+---------+----------+-----------+-------+---------+

Searching a dark mall with Bargain Hunting has a ridiculously high success rate. Is that a bug in Urban Dead? Is that a bug in my code? I don't think it's a bug in my code because I double checked the rows in the database with my character's inventory and they match exactly. I searched a dark drug store 40 times and found 28 first aid kits.

Methods

I play every page of Urban Dead through a Javascript page on my home computer that I coded up using the Prototype Javascript library (awesome) that uses AJAX HttpRequests to a php proxy (super awesome). That's because Javascript can't contact urbandead.com directly due to the security sandbox, but it can contact php on the same machine and php can contact any website it wishes, so it's more of a two-level proxy, sometimes three. I can then over-analyze the HTML with Javascript till my heart's content, extracting all sorts of information, as well as auto-searching (a fire-and-forget time saver). Javascript is surprisingly good at this and fun to program.

Each search result scraped by Javascript is sent via another AJAX request to a similar php page that stores the data in a MySQL table with these columns: 

+--------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field              | Type                | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| name               | char(25)            | NO   |     |         |       |
| date               | date                | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| building_name      | char(40)            | NO   |     |         |       |
| building_type      | char(20)            | NO   |     |         |       |
| inside             | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     |         |       |
| building_condition | char(10)            | NO   |     |         |       |
| building_light     | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     |         |       |
| has_shopping       | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     |         |       |
| has_bargain        | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     |         |       |
| item_found         | char(40)            | NO   |     |         |       |
| has_necro          | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     | 0       |       |
| has_necro_lab      | tinyint(3) unsigned | NO   |     | 0       |       |
+--------------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

When I'm done playing, I run a SQL script that copies that data into a temporary table, transforming all items named "pistol(*)" to just "pistol" because I don't care about the odds of pistol ammo right now, same for "shotgun(*)". Then I transform "NecroTech syringe" and "revivification syringe" into just "syringe", "rusty knife" and "pocket knife" and "hunting knife" into just "knife". Then I count identical rows. This condenses the table from thousands of rows (one per search) to only hundreds, at which point it looks like this: 

+-------------+----+-----------+-------+----------+---------+-------+-----+----------------+-------+
| building    | in | condition | light | shopping | bargain | necro | lab | item           | count |
+-------------+----+-----------+-------+----------+---------+-------+-----+----------------+-------+
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | bottle of beer |     2 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | crowbar        |     1 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | fire axe       |     1 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | fuel can       |     4 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | nothing        |    34 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        0 |       0 |     1 |   1 | spray can      |     3 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        1 |       0 |     0 |   0 | bottle of beer |     1 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        1 |       0 |     0 |   0 | crowbar        |     3 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        1 |       0 |     0 |   0 | fire axe       |     1 |
| auto repair |  1 | okay      |     1 |        1 |       0 |     0 |   0 | fuel can       |     2 |
+-------------+----+-----------+-------+----------+---------+-------+-----+----------------+-------+

Then the script builds up a second temporary table populated by three queries on the first temp table:

  1. all non-mall and non-necrotech rows grouped by building type, light, and item
  2. all malls and mall substores further grouped by has_shopping and has_bargain
  3. all necrotechs grouped by the same as (1) but also by has_necro and has_lab (because the odds appear to be different)

Then I order the table by building and condition to get the "By Building" table, and by item for the "By Item" table. Then I execute a php page to get the html tables to paste into this lovely wiki.
