This format was thrown together in just under a week. It has a whole lot of changes that may or may not be liked, so I thought it best to first get some feedback before going any further with it. Actually, there
has been so many changes, I had to make a seperate page for this as the current site format would break it. =/
Reason for Change
All the calcs have this nasty problem of being fairly large. It made it hard to format around. This new format has moved from 820px wide to 540px. Also, alot of the calcs original design is very outdated and
I felt that it was in need of a facelift. If this works for people, I will work on transfering the same format to the Weapon Calc as well. The Armor Calc is much, much simpler, so it made a good guinea pig.
Browser Support
For the modern browsers (IE7+, Opera, Chrome, Firefox), this should work perfect. For Opera users, the right-clicking issue on removing enchants should be fixed. These are the browsers I have and test in.
For the older browsers (IE6-, others), this will probably either not work or look like crap. In future updates, I am giving up visual support for IE6. This means that I will do my best to make sure things will work
in it, but will not care how shitty it looks (IE6- does not support PNGs).
How to Help
The feedback I am looking for has nothing to do with the content. I know that there is other things that people "want" added (i.e. buffs and such), but that is for another time. I only added Adhesives to this
build as it allowed me to test the tabbing within the menus.
The most helpful comments would be those directed at the format itself. If you have ideas on how to improve on this aspect, or just want to let me know what you think, please please please comment.
I appreciate any help and support you can give! ^^
Why do the menu icons look so gay?
Cause my artistic creativity is horrible. If you have a better idea, feel free to throw something together. Dims are 30x30 minimum to 34x34 maximum (your choice) and should try to be PNGs.
Why do I have to click icons to open the menus? Can't they be on hover?
The reason you have to click is because of IE. When selecting an armor, the dropdown generally goes beyond the container it is within. In most browsers, they understand this and have no problem. In IE, it said
f'u and closed the menu. Also, this allows people to keep open the armor selection and such for quick changing if looking for something specific. To help make it a bit easier, clicking anywhere within the calc
itself will close the active menu.
Can you add buffs?
While this isn't a question for the beta, I will still anwser it. No. Reason? I am working on integrating the Stat Calc and Armor Calc. The Stat Calc already holds onto the buff information and such. Once all
that is done, you can just load it over there and walla, all the information you could want. The last thing I want to do is have multiple tools that only have a few differences. Armor Calc is for armor. Ragings
and such don't really fall under "armor"
