Hey helma, I made a Strike Witches Character Sorter:http://swsort.sne.jp/Some of you may already be familiar with tohosort and its english translated versionhttp://mainyan.sakura.ne.jp/thsort.htmlhttp://www.freewebs.com/tohosort/So I used their source to make a sorter for witches.Data is ripped from strike witches wiki. There's 151 witches for now, so sorting absolutely everyone takes about 600 rounds. No images yet, but I'm gonna need a 120x180 image (probably portraits by Humikane) for each witch who has been drawn.Let me know if you have comments, feedback, find any bugs, etc.
Here's the original Japanese witch sorterhttp://swsort.iza-yoi.net/But I guess you didn't waste your time, since your sorter has some things the Japanese doesn't, like the ability to exclude units, and more witches.
>>6399Yeah, my idea was to make an updated english-language version of that.I used the touhousorter as a base simply because it has better code. I'll probably translate the remaining japanese source code comments at some point, so anyone with cursory web development knowledge can easily continue this when I'm gone.
Ok, new project, Strike Witches pokemon sprites and subsequent game. If they can make touhoumon, we can do witches...mon
Ouch!
This is really cool. Recommendation: Maybe an option (possibly default) for picture + text? Since the pictures only have katakana or kanji for the character names.
this was fun to blast through. Exactly 501 battles and my top 3 didn't change from the iza-yoi sorter.Images definitely need populating but this is great so far.

>>6404>Recommendation: Maybe an option (possibly default) for picture + text? Since the pictures only have katakana or kanji for the character names.Title text has the romaji name. (Hover mouse over the images)Also, the current pictures are placeholders. I just took them from the old witch sorter, which in turn took them from elsewhere.>>6405>Images definitely need populatingI would appreciate help with this!Ideally I'd like to have simple cropped 120x180 Humikane-drawn portraits for all witches, like pic related.If you want to make such a picture for any witch or know of Humikane art for a witch still lacking a picture, post it here.
>>6407>I'd like to have simple cropped 120x180 Humikane-drawn portraitsYou keep saying this like you're trying to delay it as long as possible to provoke someone into doing it for you.Exactly that happened. Here are the karlslandic witches that have fumikane portraits.http://www.mediafire.com/?jp9tsb1a4897nqu
>>6408Thanks, I really appreciate it!>You keep saying this like you're trying to delay it as long as possible to provoke someone into doing it for you.You're exactly right about that! I knew the community could help, would enjoy doing so AND do a better job than I would. Your images are now in use.Sorry for being a lazy bastard. orz
>>6409I'll keep going by nationality in time, if nobody else picks up and butts in. You see, I'm as lazy as you are.
>>6410Your courage inspired me to fix the existing files excluding 501st JFW, I'm still pondering if I should use the anime character sheet images.77 images!
>>6412also worth mentioning: out of those, inagaki mami, charlotte lueder, kitano furuko, friederike porsche and etou toshiko are not drawn by humikane. their images are taken from their respective mangas instead.
>>6412>This info would probably be more useful if I told you which witches already have images:The existing ones have a lot of compression artifacting that nags at my autism. Would it be too big of a tragedy if I didn't worry about duplicates when gathering portraits?
>>6416I'm glad someone actually cares about image quality!PNGs are certainly better, so please go ahead. I'll just losslessly optimize them to squeeze their size to about two thirds.(I went for minimal filesize because the host is slow and the sorter works better without caching. But I guess it doesn't matter whether the file is 4k or 40k once the server finally gets around to sending it to the client.)
Fuso: http://www.mediafire.com/?ewshdpxdyjegiph>>6417>But I guess it doesn't matter whether the file is 4k or 40k once the server finally gets around to sending it to the clientI suppose it would if you have a data cap on the server, but I'm not even sure if it will get enough traffic/month to exceed any reasonable cap.
>>6418Looking through the list, this only has 2 new portraits: Inufusa Yuno and Kashida Isami
>>6418Bandwidth limit is 10GB/24h, so that certainly won't become a problem.It's just that the image serving feels sluggish to me, but that's probably due to no-caching and can't be helped.
In both the original touhou sorter and the original witch sorter, the middle buttons are functionally identical, so they're kind of redundant.http://tohosort.comoj.com/ (newer version of the english touhou sorter) has a handy undo function to replace the other button and it also uses external image hosting (you had trouble with image hosting?), check it out.
>>6421I think someone on /a/ thread (you?) also wanted an undo function in case of misclicks. Or something along those lines. Guess I'll add that.I'll keep the images hosted locally for now, I doubt imgur (or any other service) would be noticeably faster.
Nooo! I was adding images for the remaining witches, aiming for at least 100, but ran out witches with pictures at 98!So, only 53 witches without pictures remain. I don't think that number is going to considerably shrink anytime soon, but I know for sure that Humikane has draw at least the remaining Typhoon Witches (Kawaguchi Fumiyo, Rosalie de La Poype, Galina Kostilev and Bronislava Safonov). I just couldn't find good pictures of them.
>>6439How married are you to the idea that all the portraits should be Fumikane art? No doubt, you could find portrait-worthy art for many of the remaining witches.
>>6442It's just for consistency in artstyle. If there's no Fumikane art, you gotta use something else. Many Africa witches and some other manga characters already have their portraits taken from their respective manga.However, I doubt the remaining witches have any official art, most are mentioned-only in sources like world witches and god knows where. My information sources are mostly the character pages on http://www37.atwiki.jp/strike_witches/ and http://strikewitches.wikia.com/I've seen original fanart for some of the remaining witches, but that doesn't always turn out to look anything like the official. Example pictured: tabigarasu's old Aurora Juutilainen.

>>6404>>6420Love is alive and well!I finally decided to address these issues by 1) adding very obvious name tooltip on image mouseover and 2) making a simple image preloader.
>>7288>Love is alive and well!>ID: dead14 I lol'd.
Added Yoshika Mk.II and updated Karibuchi Takami. 170 witches, 102 images. So many faceless witches ;__; http://swsort.sne.jp/gallery
>>10009>Mk.IIBut she's not a Briiiiit..Thanks for your continued well being of the roster. Fumi really oughta get down on visualizing more of the lacking witches..
>>10009Looks like more portraits may be coming soon. Pic from:http://karlsland.net/sw/pixmicat.php?res=40112#q40152Just need a better scan.
>>10017That's Carla G. E. von Rosen on right, so not a new witch at all.Don't know about the left one, she doesn't seem to be any existing one from her name, might not even be a witch in the first place.
Witch on the right is definitely Von Rosen, flicking through my copy it looks like the the girl on the left isn't a Witch, just a photo-journalist trying to get a scoop on the 506th.
The sne.jp domain I was freeloading on has died. A shame, the sorter was still getting some witchy traffic mostly through social networks. The sorter itself is still hosted but the domain is gone.Hey helmadmin, does your hosting package include free subdomains and would you care to take this relic under something like sorter.helma.us?
>>14270Yeah I'm pretty sure I can do subdomains. Worst case I could just host it on normal helma. Email me at helmauswastaken @outlook.com and I'll get back to you when I'm sober.
hello, i am greatly disappointed that the witch sorter has broken. what can i do to help get it back online? i have ample funds and web application support skills to support it indefinitely.
>>14591I offered to host it here but the guy never emailed me.
>>14591i've written a new one, incase you would be interested in that https://atlcou.github.io/sw_sort/
>>14593Wow, awesome! Much appreciated, mate!
>>14593Everybody get in here and post your listsWho has the best taste
>>14597>Who has the best tasteeveryone does!
>>14593Great work, but I think you forgot someone.
Karlsland über alles.
Rushed through this while half asleep so it's a bit of a mess.
>>14601Mio being #1... damn straight!
>>14593this is great. thank you!
Semi-related, but recently I came across the website "Tiermaker" and it seems to have a few pages for sorting Witches! The biggest was this one, which has Strike Witches/Brave Witches.https://t.co/jr9WKtRT8x?amp=1
