Yeah I have a bunch of time off until the rest of the year so I have been working on Funhouse stuff and getting things done on EoC so once I feel it is somewhat ready we will release it.
Overhauling the existing code for the item editor by stuffing the entire form into an array (Like 100+ sub arrays) so it can be flexibly manipulated as a mass item editor once it is all said and done.
I finished some of the sub tools for the item editor and plan on finishing some of the real time savers like automatic item scaling and custom item views.
Automatic item scaling - Will allow you to set a type (solo/group/raid) and a level and it will suggest values for main statistical fields and you can bump it up a % of the base value of the suggested values.
Custom Item Views - If you are editing say a Book that is just a 'Quest Item', why would I want to see all the statistic sections and the spell sections? We toggle that stuff off by default on opening the item in the item editor and then toggle it back on as you wish.
I also want to make the
PEQ Editor available in a frame in one of the sections, which hugely adds value to the tool as a whole, no setup required for anyone, just a shared service that points to your database. Yes, you have to be able to trust who is behind EoC (Trevius and I) but I think I've proven trust in this community and I know I could trust Trevius with some of my info I do not hardly ever share with anyone so I think people are fine on that respect.
So essentially you can provide your Mysql connection manually and not require authentication and still use the PEQ editor without having to set a damn thing up but your DB info.
Also the intention for making this section on the forums were so we can start making threads on collecting information for these tools that we don't already have like pictures of all of the races and textures so we can manipulate them in different areas of the tools and such and whatever else we decide to throw in here.
