    user interface mod

    mom always told me, never bring a new idea into the house without a way to clean up after it.... Well, I think that's how it went.

    Hello all, my name is Rieve and I do tradeskills, AND UI mods. ~grin~

    I'd like to offer an idea as well as a hand to our beloved denmother when she gets that database up and running. I've been building (coding by hand grrr) tradeskill lists for the EQUI story window (looks allot like trimmed down html) and I'm getting sick of doing it by hand. I'd be tickled to send her the code to build the pages. I've way to many ideas to list them all here, but if the lass could send me a few electrons I'd be tickled to discuss the particulars.

    I need a project other than farming...
    oh my skills...
    smithing 189
    baking 188
    brewing 18?
    pottery 155
    tailoring 156
    alchemy 116

    does fishing count? lol 200!!!

    RL... (no numbers sorry, I looked everywhere )
    smithing
    wood work
    leather
    armor (yes you heard right; plate chain leather plastic)
    crafting
    jewelry (awful lol)
    Origami
    one mean lasagna (is that under baking?)
    PHP
    ASP
    MSsql
    MySQL
    HTML
    Javascript
    lists
    The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began...

      Seen it, LOVED it.

      Quesci, I love that mod. It was my start down this dark path

      I've used it, modified it, and am looking at a way to make it better.

      First, please accept /cheer for all the great work, I applaud the work and the result.

      I simply see another way to make it. You used the information from this site to make the flat files, a time consuming and tedious process. When the database goes live on this site they could be made automatically. (Us dang programmers keep trying to take all the work out of it!)

      To do that however will take a lot of communication with the folks who run the site, and feedback from the players. I was just trying to get that started.

      Until I put the signature file together... see first post

        Tradeskills will become something special when...

        I guess I am just waiting for the day when trader characters will be the ones creating the recepies.

        I could really care less about one-click vs. 10 clicks.. I want "Exculsive" recipies for an individual character.

        Ok so I am a capitolist.


        =========
        Paldor.. You have created an item that only you can make.

        Those items do not combine for you.. you are not Paldor.

            Oh, please don't think that I was trying to derail your idea. Writing a program to query the database and write the XML automatically would be a great thing. It was mind numbing work to do it by hand, and that is what computers are supposed to excel at.

            I just wasn't sure if you had seen the project. A lot of people tend to overlook the stickies as "oh, another FAQ or rules post". I got a real kick when Panamah Malfleur mentioned the project in the April 03 column of Spawnweek. I've never been famous before! Props also to Sannask for his additions which include recipes for many different tradeskills.

              I know exactly what you mean. Creating those pages by hand is a lot of work. I actually developed a program myself to create the files on the fly from my database (which is/should be very similar to the one being created for this site).

              Using this program, I created the mod found here:
              http://mboards.eqtraders.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=6035

              If only SOI would add formating to the story window.
