I've been working on a "tool" which can be used to display commanders. Currently there's only one kind of a filter available, which filters the list of the commanders by the selected ability.

Commander database

Everything is custom code. I decided not to use any existing libraries other than jQuery.
Doing the pager took some attempts but laying it down on a paper did wonders.

Planned features:
  • Filter by up to 5 abilities
  • Add ability icons


Technical stuff:

All the data is 95% generated. The rest 5% is currently set by hand. I haven't finished the "Data Collector" for those. The data is generated by first extracting AttribArchive.sga and then converting all commanders, commander upgrades, abilities to .txt with Copernicus' Tools. Then my C# app performs a gigantic loop over these files and outputs a valid SQL list.
Here's a screenshot of the C# app (click for full size):


Update: 100% automatically generated data.

Update #2: I'm also willing to share the generated data with anyone who finds it useful. I require giving credits for public use.

I'm aware of that, of course. Just wanted to do something more advanced, with filters and search functions.

It's also faster to update this after a patch since it's mostly generated from game files.

is it me, or it seemed that one german doctrine had hit the dirt? I have a feeling, something is mixed up in there, with other doctrines aswell. :P

If you could name those, I could try finding the cause for the mix-up.

Edit: http://commanders.coh.fi/index.php?ability_id=40 yep, really strange.
Edit2: There seems to be quite a few commanders with only 4 abilities. Something is not quite right with the scanner..

Really useful thanks a lot!
Just minding that in addition to the german hit the dirt, the Jaeger Infantry has the ISU-152 instead of the Elefant.

Yeah, I've been basically re-writing the scanner app to collect data for the commanders. It should be 100% accurate. I'll put it on the site sometime today.

Everything should be corrected. All Data is now generated automatically.
Data generation takes 2.147 seconds.

What about the idea to add the information to the commanders if they're free or DLC (or maybe not available at the moment)?
It would help people like me who boycott DLC commanders.

Updated with paid/free/all filters.
All filters are now accumulative. There's now a share URL box available.
Let me know if there are any mistakes, mostly with the paid/free statuses.

1 suggestion: make a page where you can choose 3 commanders that your opponent has (you just click the icons) so that you can see what the guy can bring without having to remember each commander he has came with

I see some unreleased stuff up there. Urban assault Pgrens, Commissar Squad, Conscript PTRS package and a few ailities. You say this data gathering is automatic- did it get into the files and find these upcoming(?) commander abilities?

because that would be really cool. Looks like an AT doctrine for soviets and maybe some tougher infantry for the Germans
