Web based Base Layout designer

Hello all,

I've been working on a web Base Layout designer, and I come to you with progress!

http://webapps.sgspaces.net/cohstuff...BaseConfig.xml

I don't have all room types / sizes added yet, and it has VERY basic functionality, no collision detection, but there is a save/load function, and as seen above, there is a share functionality too. I will soon be adding a cost calculator, and if I can figure out how to do it, add basic functional items, so you can calculate Power/Control usage.

Please leave feedback, and any issues you discover, so I can further this hopefully useful project.

*3/24/12 - Added Price Calculation.
*3/25/12 - Added some basic items, and Power/Control calculations.

In chrome the basic plot is overlapping the menu to "Co" in Control. And the grid doesn't line up.

Edit:

Click for larger version.

Yeah.. that's because I added the menu bar above, when I saved that the menu was to the left, everyting is now pushed down 45px.. I just need to update the url in the post.

[Edit] Link above has been fixed, thanks Snow Globe!

Here is a more advanced look at what it can do, from my base on Victory "Ravens Nest" http://webapps.sgspaces.net/cohstuff...BaseConfig.xml

Very nice. May I ask what technologies you are using?

That's fine.

By the way just to let the string know - it's already allowed some friends & I to discuss base layouts over e-mail very quickly.


Can this be stickied somewhere or added to the Guide of Guides by any chance?

....This is amazing.

Neo, you absolutely rock. You have created one of my new favorite toys. I may never do anything productive ever again.

Server side is harder to judge unless it has to do with Microsoft.

Oh, the grid is still off by at least 1px x 1px.

Thought so, thanks. Just getting into jQuery myself.

Oh, BTW, I forwarded this to my SG's base architect and he mailed back to tell me it was "A Godsend!". Good job!

Totally awesome tool, is there any way to make the plots go horizontal instead of vertical?

Damn fine work there!

Shot a request off to Zwillinger to set this thread for "No delete" and add it to the base guides.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Not at the moment, but I will add it to my todo list. Basically it will make the plots menu longer, again, but it will be an option.

[Edit]I lied! There is now a Flip Plot option under the Plot Menu!

Okay was just able to grab a screenshot of a base layout without having to go in-game and set it up.

OK, so... I found a issue with jQuery, and CSS absolute positioning... This has invalidated previous save files... so YAY. What this has FIXED though, is that I can now change the layout of the site, add stuff etc, without breaking anyones save files any more... kinda Ironic no? Fixed something to fix saves files, breaks save files... *sigh*
