Improvements to wow-armory plugin + Linkbacks + Styles

Friday, February 27th, 2009

I’ve made some improvements to the wow-armory plugin:

Talents: You can now display your talent build. This option can be disabled per widget. You will see a link to your Talent in the Armory, displayed as “X / Y / Z”, where X, Y, and Z are the points spent in your First, second and third tree respectively. I’m not sure if the Armory will change to show your Dual-specs after patch 3.1, but I can change this if it does. Also, you’ll see the icon for your spec – if you have more talents in “Beast Mastery”, for example, you’ll see that icon.

Linkbacks: I have added an option to display a link back to my site. I debated for awhile how I can help get the word out on my addons, and this was, I believe, the best solution. This is completely optional, and it should default to “No”, so no one will show any links unless they choose to enable the option. Both the wow-armory and wow-guild plugin have this feature. You can turn on the linkbacks on a per-widget basis, or within shortcodes using linkback="1"

The link looks like this: powered_by

Shortcodes: You can use the shortcode: 

Character portrait
 of -US or EU
Level

You must have at least the char, realm, and realmtype specified.

On Hold

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Thanks to the sudden, surprise explosion of my computer at work, many of my projects are on hold until I can get things back into working order again. Notably, my wow-guild WP Plugin, which has been started, but is not yet ready for release, will probably be pushed back another week or two.
A certain other project of which I cannot speak is also on hold for a day or two, but this project will take precedence over the others. More details as they become available.

D&D Adventure Progress

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I’ve made some impressive progress (at least to me) on my Adventure.  I have most of the story events, and descriptions typed up, with some occasional, scripted combat encounters.  I’m currently working on how I want the ending battle to be – I have some really neat mechanics in place for the 2nd to last battle (using some interesting portal mechanics, inspired by this post), but I haven’t decieded how I want the PCs to overcome the final boss(es).

Update, Part 2

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Well, taking my last post into consideration, I decided to do some major housekeeping around here.

I removed all posts pertaining to the TARGEngine, and removed several other posts that were no longer relevant to anything, or were just me whining about whatever.  All told, I ended up disabling 45 posts.  I also spent a great deal of time reorganizing my categories.  I think there’s still a lot of work left to do to make them really work the way I would like, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Update

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

So, here we are at my new host. So far everything seems to be working nicely, although there are a few items that I’ve removed for simplicity. I thought I might take this time to kind of readdress this site and see where I should go.

I know it’s never going to happen, but…

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

So, as you might remember from this post, I can’t help myself from thinking up elaborate plans for things that I somehow know are never going to happen… well, I had some inspiration last night, while I was lying awake, trying to fall asleep…
