[Add-on] Strategus Tool Belt (STB)

[Sparvico]

Parts of it work. Parts of it don't. It doesn't sort gear stored in a fief for instance.

Per Úlfur's request, I'll sticky this thread for future generations to marvel and possibly use. If it gets by some chance fully updated and starts working again, then even better))

[Butan]

Is this still a thing Butan? Any hopes of you and Chy continuing to develop Strat outside of the add-on?

Eg.
Updating the main UI for everyone?
Making text such as "Integrating strategus into the main website is currently in the works." that has been there for several years a reality?

Ignore all previous roadmapping, it was a time where everything was different... We were barely beginning to get to know chadz & co, Battlegrounds was in the works so they were helpful but very busy, and by the time we were trusted enough for proper access to website/database, cRPG and Strategus were largely dead! I honestly cringe when I think of what we could have done if the timing had been better.


Making the last STB version 100% compatible with current strategus shouldnt be too hard if we ever get back on it. Seeing the amount of people that plays strategus battles nowadays, it seems to be worth the hassle.
Logically, if everything was going fine we could add more functionalities, and even resume "integrating" things into the official website if the current team is cool with it.

Truth be told, the last official strategus UI overhaul done some years back is already very nice and show that there is a lot of data to use for even more UI reworking.

No promise though.

At least wait for new year drunkiness to go away for more good news.

The colored map filters in particular - for factions, diplomacy and trade distance - would be a god-send in the main Strategus UI that people get by default.

Fun fact: I hand-drawn pixel by pixel the first border map filter (that is the basis for every other STB map filters) a couple hours a day for weeks to learn much later through the dev team that there was border coordinates to use in the website database.

Beginning shmoozing phase:

14:26 - Butan: strategus is alive
14:26 - Chy: dead*
14:26 - Butan: 100 players per battle average
14:26 - Chy: no

Glad to help, this is very critical to making cRPG Strat work properly ;D

[Butan]

Could maybe inject some of the working code into strat itself when the update comes?

If someone wanted to do just that he has full authorization to. We were asked something along those lines a couple months ago and already gave green light but idk what happened behind the scene since then.

I come with great news! Rejoice!

Chy, the beloved developer of the Tool Belt shall be back once more, and cook up some nasties on Strategus!
We will wait for the reset (in case more features are implemented, or the interface is changed, who knows...) before brainstorming and adapting the plug-in to the game, but you can be sure the tool will become fully operational again in the future, and probably will expand somewhat.


Completely off-topic but Chy just finished developing a indie game, if you're interested to check what he's done I'll leave a link to the steam store here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/676700/Heroes_of_Delum/

I can get some free keys since I helped the game a bit. Just PM me if you're into it. Just sharing the word
