For Beta Testers - only

[admin]

I send you guys some stuff,
install it and let me know of you remarks.

Functionality is partially done,
speed is very good.
search is super fast, added drag and drop functionality on some screens, this means that on some screens you can simply click and drag a name to the search button.
some screens still missing, so please spare me the comments and only sent remarks for working ones.

I wanna know if you see any hickups(speed degradation or locks), please try to disable the script if you notice it to be sure that it is not a server issue.

Do not run other script while testing, if you do and find a bug, try to disable all other scripts just to be sure that it is a real bug.

No translations to be done yet, we are simply going from the start:
1. we emphasize on speed
2. design
3. gameflow
4. simplycity
5. readability

Thanks

P.S. Spare me the nice and wonderfull and superb comments, just post thoughts and bugs or suggestions.

If I forgot any of you guys in orange colors to send you the script, please remind me of it.
All of you have a nice summer, go to the sea, drinks some shots, grab some chicks.
Do some watersports, i know i will. I''l grab my boat and do some serious cruising.
If everything else fails just go fishing

First of : thanks, great script powered up =D


but :

1- I couldn't get the drag and search option to work (I could drag the names from the diplomacy screen, just couldn't get them to be searched) *Note : I believe this could just be my own stupidity, not a bug
you can drag the names nd when the search button lights up during dragging than it works!! (it only works on 2-3 screens for now)

2- I kinda miss the (?) when you selected a player on the island view. Hope you planned on adding it back later
this will work like Nr 1

3- Transporter didn't show anything, Imma guess it is not added yet.
It should, you should see all your cities and resources etc. try to remove the database ( there should be a file in you mozilla user directory named icore_ikariam_core.sqlite, search for it and delete it)

4- couldn't add buddies (Not that I have any)
Nope this does not work yet

5- Wrong number shown for required materials to upgrade a building : a simple guess : you didn't add the researches (or building) reductions yet
You have to visit your library once, than it works (there will be a hint somewhere for the first time users to do it)
6- I wish the shortcut to "message the alliance" was back
Ooooops!!! me to!!!
7- after searching a guy, a link to view his island (like the old ika-core)... I hate having to enter the coordinates ><
yep, need to create the links. How is your search speed by the way?


that's all I've noted so far, thanks for the script ^_^

[Caladbolg]

New post to avoid much confusion ^_^

1- couldn't find the mistery screens, i'll keep looking

2- okay

3- closed firefox, found the file, deleted it... but it's still not working ... any idea? (Everytime I delete de SQL database I have to go back to the library... but transporters still isn't working.)
Note : the transporter is working, but it only recognize one of my 9 cities.... there must be a screen we must visit or something else...

4- thought so...

5- worked. (though it showed 64,830 instead of 64,829 ... the game and the script aren't rounding up the same way)

6- yay!

7-search speed is... awesome... no delay. Rocket fast!

8- Alliance ranking is wrong
(Also, I don't understand how the color were chosen ... why are general and commandant (a custom rank) blue...)


X- No problem of compatibility with other script to report so far.

Hey... I found:

1) on Production screen, the wine consumption is shown as +-xxx , i think a simple "-xxx" would be easier to catch with one look
2) on .de server the building costs are not calculated correctly.
Caladbolg : did you visit the library?
update: that fixes the problem... thanks
3) on island view the "burning" animation is "flickering" on the top
4) I'm missing the production/consumption "preview" under the depot values
5) Drag'n drop behaviour is sometimes strange, so that I can drop the text anywhere on the browser screen an I stays there until I move it again. For drag'n drop I have to first open the search screen, than I can drop.
Caladbolg : what screen are you using the drag and drop on?
update: for example on the diplomacy screen
6) search is fast!
...still testing

First impressions:

-search Button in highscore & behind player names on island view missing :/ ..it was so easy to use..
-drag&drop works when search is already open (tested on island view and in highscore screen) --> search works really fast
-when i use the search and set townhall lvl (5<-->12), milit.(5000<-->15000) and goldamount(10000<-->2kk) as search parameter, i never get a search result. the example parameter should have give me results, i tried it on ikariam-world to verify
(i tested many combinations, never got a result)
-send x5, x10 spys at one time would be nice if implemented
-notes <3
-on .de servers the ressources for upgrade are calculated corretly just visit library first --- the popups on mouseover are great
- design is great, i love it

i´ll keep on testing..

Thanks for the info guys,

fix transporter, i think i found the bug,
Caladbolg, did you test it on a new created account?
Also , if you visit the museum once everytime you see your messages you see a small icon next to the player if you have a cultural treaty with him (a small marble head), does it work for you guys?
Did you try the notepad?

next steps:
1. fix transporter bug.
2. fix gif animation to avoid flicker
3. add settings menu entry ( so you can setup themes , etc)
I already included 3 different color themes but right now there is no way to change it from the menu.
4. finalize buddies screen
5. create some kind of hints so users can visit the library or research screen to have the research modifiers working (calculate goods needed for build)
6. fix production screen (+-)
7. add research time estimation
8. add links to search results and replace some colums with images to avoid uneccesary translations
9. add building times next to building cost
10. improve map zooming , to focus on more working application and start displaying results
11. fix coloring on various tables (coloring usually is a zebra like style for better reading)
12. add message to alliance button
13. create some kind of setup guide first time you login into a new account
14. add cultural exchange api (yep it is ready, but not included, you can find players to exchange cultural goods)
15. add some database optimization buttons on setting to optimize db (for speed) or do a clean up for beta testing purposes
16. add icore islands indexer

Did you try the notepad? ---> yeah and i posted short comment on it:

-notes <3

i really like the new options, now i can sort my notes by topic and don´t have everything on one page.
The thing with the marble head works but a small sign on the island view would be nice too.

Some problem found, when I click town of user it cant redirect you town location, also no setup/setting menu, cant see player name/alliance in island view.

on island view the "burning" animation is "flickering" on the top

I agree on this

I'm missing the production/consumption "preview" under the depot values

And this one

In overall, very nice script
...still testing.

[Miceiw]

Another thing in GUI
When I point my mouse to any town, the town slightly moving up which is irritating to me

Nice to see sorting your search. But cant redirect to town location.

I like the notepad

[Caladbolg]

I tried on a week old account and on my old account...
The transporter only detected one city so far and its the city on the week old account that I made after installing the beta...
so I'm guessing the transporter is being a bitch about already existing cities ><

Love the notes =D Can't find anything to make them better.
