TQVault 2.17 BETA Released

[EJFudd]

Since we have now have a relatively stable release, it's time to start some more betas. Many of you will be happy that this beta adds the long asked for feature of being able to access the stash.

Note: Please make sure you BACKUP your save files since there were alot of modifications to the load/save code to implement the stash.
Do NOT hold me responsible if you lose your stash.

Requirements

Changes in v2.17 BETA1:

Hey,

x64 bug? It works wonders for me..

@EJFudd thanks a lot for new version!

@Paradox:

Try copying the vxplib.dll to Windows\SysWow64 and registering it to see if that works.

Try this build. The main exe files were already set to Win32, but I set the dll files to an x86 target. You will need to manually register the VXPLib.dll file.

Nice job I'm happy with 2.16, but this caravan addition looks good! What else are you planning to implement?

[EJFudd]

I really do not have a long term plan on what I add. I usually add things as I find them or as things annoy me. Of course, I try to fix any issues that come up, but here's a few ideas that I am thinking about:

Increase usability of the UI:
I do a lot moving things around in my vaults so things like being able to re-order the tabs or an autofit function would be nice. Also some keyboard shortcuts would be nice too.

Adding an equipment panel:
The may be tough because the screen real estate is so scarce and the way things are handled internally is not conducive to this.

Implementing the item "wobble":
This one may be really tough and will require some diving into the game dlls which I have not done since my D2 days. I also think that everyone has gotten used to the way TQVault displays stats so this may not be worth the effort.

Implementing an Item edit function:
I have been dragging my feet on this one since this can really break the game balance. It would basically add the ability to craft your own items within the confines of the database.


Of course this is all predicated on my free time, which comes and goes, and my interest.

Looks awesome, cannot wait to get off work so I can check it out.

In the "for whatever it's worth" department, IMHO it would be outstanding if you could implement the equipment area of the character into the program.

[EJFudd]

The equipment panel is pretty high on my list since it's an annoyance to me too that I cannot see my equipped items. I will seriously need to take a look at how much effort it's going to be to implement. It would not be too hard to make something with view only capability, but would be a pretty big jump to make it so that you can actually equip items from the vault.

[fathersquid]

Well I'd definitely second the ability to see the equipment of your character... I honestly don't think it even needs to be something you can change through the vault... just the ability to see what you have on your character would be a huge plus - particularly if you are like me and have a bootload of characters to mess around with... so definitely go for the ability to view character equipment Good luck - hope you can do with the program as you wish!
