[BeaverusIV]

New UI, new version ^^,



Changelog:
v0.2a 2/12/2009
-Original public release.

v0.3a 3/12/2009
-Added support for custom directories.

v0.3.1 7/12/2009
-Added check for character saves.
-Removed support for custom maps (not needed).

v0.4 23/12/2009
-Revamped and unified UI (You can now resize window).
-Fixed bug where Hades relic title showed when IT was off.
-Fixed bug with 'Any' and 'All' MIs were miscounted.
-Fixed Sets 'Some' tabs.
-Added "*", "Stheno's Wisdom" to itemdb.
-Added Secret Passage toggle.
-Added Tooltip for item locations.

Still not implemented is having the tooltip tell you where to get that item. idk if I will ever put it in, its useful information, but I'll have to manually write out the info for every item, and theres 1752 items...

The other feature I am also deciding whether to worry about is a loading screen (For startup and reloading files). For me it only takes a half a second to reload everything. If people get longer-than-that loading times, please tell me and I will implement a little 'loading' screen.

The feature definitely coming is the 'Export As' button. I just need a while to work on it. Basically it will export either a .txt. or .html report of your collection for easily sharing your progress with other people. Just gotta finalise formatting decisions before I implement.

Update: I currently do not have enough time to work on the TQC while not playing TQ (I will be back, ofc) so if someone wants to carry on or make their own thing out of it, I'm still willing to guide someone through what I've done. It's a Visual Studio .NET 2010 project.

Files:
TQ Collector v0.4.7b
TQ Collector v0.4.b SRC
updated text_en.xml (Overwrite in program directory).
updated itemdb.xml (Overwrite in program directory).

Hm. Would it be possible to add tooltips that could tell you where to look for an item?

Like for a Sapros for instance, if you hover the mouse over the Sapros the tooltip will appear and say "Farm Legendary mode some more for this!" or something. We have the offline database which has MI's and the who drops which MI thing, but it would be cool if we had an all in one type of thing for this. It would make farming a bit easier and simplified for the newer players.

Just a suggestion. I love this tool already, I've been using it myself to finish my artifact collection. (**** YOU WRAITHGUARD AND GLORYBRINGER!)

I'm thinking about it. I know where all the MIs/charms/relics come from and have the data for the uniques, but I'll need the parchments/formulae to do everything.

[HainusVII]

Nice work mate! Keep it up.

[ASYLUM101]

I have the locations for the artifacts, that was posted by galefury a long time ago iirc.

Parchments, I could look in the database. Certain heroes drop their own ones. Like all the crab heroes for instance in A4 drop the same one.

[BeaverusIV]

Yeah, you've twisted my arm. I'l start work on it in a few days time. That and the 'Export As'.

Been wasting all my TQ time on this, lol. Its worth it, though. v0.3.1 got over 230 downloads so I'm happy its getting used.

*adds download to v 0.4*

That tooltip function is nice
[S]If it is possible to include some combined version of the layout of the current one and the previous one? as in, still checkboxes and listed as before but also bold if you own them.[/S] Leave it as it is, the longer I look at it the better it gets, I shut my mouth.

[Arperum]

I noticed the credits Thanks for putting me in, although I nearly didn't do anything...

and if you need help with anything, I'm still willing to help.

[BeaverusIV]

You helped crack the major bug I had, enough for me.
