currently working on including some images (THX @Ozball), tweaked the whole design and finally finished the changelog.
maybe v1.2 can be released in a few more days
still looking for some ideas what to create to track the progress - reply some wishes or just brainstorm^^
v1.2 released - New Troops added to Database
This Release is the first that comes as Zip-File because of the included images - i used 7-Zip to create it.
v1.3 released - Data Source changed from MySQL to (included) local JSON File
Changes:
main Data-Source switched from MySQL (Online) to included local Source
included additional images for Hero-Classes, Hero-Colors and Rarities
small UI tweaks
Please report any Bug u find - i had edit nearly 80% of my Algorithms because of the change to a new Data Source!
So if you encounter any Problem - freezes or some other curiosities â REPORT here^^
The progress Window takes a little more time - but it will come
the only DB connection i left over - is the Changelog Tab content
on start of the app, a connection shall be established to load the Changelogs from the MySQL DB^^
i started the app now and all works fine - seems like they had some server issues maybe, its just a free DB service for non commercial use. they give the hint that some problems can occur everytime because this is an experimental DB-Server and it gets updates and changes weekly⌠this is one more reason why i changed the source from online - to local
please try again and see if the message still pops up - in my case (3minutes ago) this message did not appear
this is also on my 2do list - but has no priority^^
i will change the point of time where the connection tries to reach the online DB to the action âclick on changelog tabâ - then it wont show a message right on startup if the DB is not accessible
because of issues with the new JSON file a new release with all troops and kingdoms is still not in sight - but i am currently working hard on the progress feature of my tool!
i am looking for some people to check the first version of the progress feature in my tool - its still not finished, i have many things to do, but i want some feedback if i am on the right way and what i maybe should change or addâŚ
your job:
test the feature, check for correct numbers
search for bugs and how they can be reproduced
give feedback in case of useability and layout tweaks
are all infomations available, or is something missing?
interested? answer here or PM me! - skype for chat would be great^^
FINALLY the 2.0 release arrives!!! The formerly known âGoW-Teambuilderâ will now be known as the âGoW-Toolâ because of the new Feature^^
v2.0
new DataBase with Troops and Kingdoms
added Progress Tracker
removed Changelog (no more Internet Connection needed)
The Progress Tracker is just tested by myself and still in BETA stadium, if u encounter any Bugs â LET ME KNOW
If you think something is missing â LET ME KNOW
@MrSnake thank you for such a cool tool! I did notice something, when I attempted to save my kingdom level (in this instance it was for Whitehelm lvl 10), it would flash but not save the level.
reason for bug: my code created the same kingdom multiple times in the save file - so on load the programm just did not know what to take⌠i fixed and tested it, please try again
just remove the GoW-Tool.jar and replace it with the new one i uploaded and follow this steps to keep your entered troop progress data:
open the progress.sav with editor, notepad or similar
scroll down the troops till âZombieâ (last troop in list)
underneath you find a seperator row, delete all kingdom related rows, keep the troops
make sure u leave no empty rows in this file!!!
after restarting the kingdom level should be saved correct - for me it worked, please give feedback
I did most of the image extracting for this. Theyâre all from the png files in the Steam game folders. Worth noting that none of the images used in this tool are dual or tri color. Only single colour and the 6 colour gem are there.
New at this, and apologies for newb question - I extracted the .zip files from the GoW tool in Google Drive, but canât seem to find where to launch the tool itself.
Possibly related, I get a âtoo many attemptsâ error when I try to extract the hotfix tool. Known issue?
