Official - SuckerPunch's Planner for Issue 16

First of all, YAY new online planner!

Second -- some things in the planner are not terribly easy to undo. For instance, is there a way to remove or overwrite a "build" for a character? So far it looks like once I've saved a build, I can't save anything new without eternally lengthening the list of builds. Nothing will remove or replace a build. Even making a new build of the same name seems to create a second copy.

Also, I have to reload a build if I want to replace a powerset or pool set. Once I select a secondary powerset, the first power is automatically chosen. If I misclicked, I can't unselect the power to change it; I have to start the build from scratch and select the AT, primary, and secondary again. If I select a power pool or ancillary/patron power set, I can change it, but once I click a power I can't, even if I unselect all the powers.

Thanks, SuckerPunch!

Viva Suckerpunch!

+rep for the author of the build planner for the rest of us.

New code push tonight with some "big" features!

You can now over-write your previously saved builds when saving! In the save window, select the character name, and then you should see a link below next the "Build Name" that says "Or, select from an existing build". Clicking that will allow you to choose from builds associated with this character and let you over-write them.

Selecting an existing build to over-write should also default the other options to whatever that build was previously saved as. For example, if you had selected "Victory" as the server and marked this build as Hidden, "Victory" should be pre-selected in the Server menu, and the "Hidden" checkbox should be checked.


The other big feature is the ability to delete individual builds, or entire characters (and all their associated builds) from the My Account screen.


As always, let me know if you have any issues with these new items or any other functionality.

Today's push fixes the second part of Iron Yeti's concerns!

New Features:
- If you deselect all powers in a set, you can now change the set in the drop-down menu. This should let you change your mind, or fix a mis-click, without having to do a hard refresh of the page.
- Just a fun thing, but selecting a villain changes the site's theme.

Fixes:
- Corrected a display issue when "enabling" powers that shouldn't have been available after de-selecting them. Functionality was working fine, but it was showing powers as being available when they shouldn't be.

Another code push for today, and it's a nice feature

New Features:
- Added the "Browse Builds" page. It only has basic functionality for now, but with as few builds as are currently saved in the new system it's not such a big deal yet.

Browse works great as long as you pay attention to the "Please at least choose an Archetype" reminder and select something (probably to prevent everyone from loading the entire database every time, I'd guess).

One thing I can't seem to find (might be you, might be me) is a button to get from the planner pages back to the Titan Network itself. Unless I am overlooking something, that would be handy at times if I don't want to open yet another browser tab.

In general, I can't say enough good things about your efforts, which have improved the quality of my own experiences with the game.

edit: Also, when browsing public builds, is there a way to see the player's name? IIRC that used to be possible.

Thank you for all the work on this. It's very clean, very easy to use.

Just noting, the soul drain power from dark melee and soul mastery correctly accepts to hit buffs and PbAoE sets, but not tohit debuff sets.

Having the ability to access builds from anywhere is a great help. I look forward to seeing how the planner develops.

Would it be possible to give a drop-down to pick the theme. I really hate the bright red villains one when you choose to view or build a villain.

Sort of a big push today, as far as new features:

New Features:
- Toggle Slot Level button - temporary (state is not saved) toggle to show/hide the slot bubbles

Fixes:
- If you click "Save Build" while logged out, and successfully log in, the Save Build window will now appear (previously had to click "Save Build" again after logging in)

I was messing with a regen scrapper build when I noticed there are no Numina IO sets for heals in there. Just a heads up. Great job BTW!!

No worries! Glad it wasn't something on my end, but even moreso that you figured it out. Plus it gave me a reason to finally get my VM setup working on this new laptop.
