New GC extension

OP 30/01/2016 · 05:32 AM #1

Well i got some time on my hands to code a little and i thought GC might need a new extension / mod especially since some of the others are out of date or features not working fully.

So any and all feedback is welcome. My ideas thus far.....

- Create a new page layout, throw away the old game layout completely.... kinda like a remodel to any & all GC pages. So any game layouts like BadWolf has suggested feel free to post a link or Picture of.

- Add an Economy Simulator as a feature - It will preset with current race, planets & research.
- Add an Battle simulator as a feature - able to preset with current fleet.
- Add Capsule lab - ( i might need suggestions here & remodel ideas )
- Upgrade Events Page to add optional features.
- Add a more user-friendly Fleet Builder/Manager
- Add custom background pictures
- Add Turns Ticker so you know how many turns you have
- Add a live clock set in GC time
- Add similar chat features - but the chat will be more similar to facebook with a pop up window towards the bottom right of the window. Will include Fed Chat / General Chat / And Private Chat messages. At a later time i might be able to add a Group Chat.
- Add some features to the Ranks Page.

Well that is all i got for now..... i am still working out the basic design/layout....

Death sadly speaking I think astroempires is more successful, although I hate it`s battle function. IF SOMEONE could help and lets make a astro/GC mix with astro econ and GC battle system that would be like a dream come true lol.

New Idea --- Turn Ticker for every server you play on....

This way if you are playing RT & your ULTRA account is close to max turns you`ll get notification, same could be applied to DP status of all your accounts on all servers.

Gotta be GIF or PNG with a transparent background, with an image sizes of 24x24 & 128x128 of high quality detail. You also gotta make the same ship GIF or PNG with a BOOM / Explosion.

After you got those details.... you`ll have your space battle :-P

Not my expertise, but i could make it happen. I am not a ship designer or artist lol.

So, what, I provide little mini GIFs or JPEGs for each ship and you make them go "pew pew!" ? :P

Might be an issue if you`re dealing with 500k ryu fighters or light fighter drones. ;)

@ Ragnarok - if you make the ships into pictures i am sure i can make them look like they are fighting each other. And my little pony theme song can be added to your battles if you want lol.

@ Omegian, NO i am not taking anfits Mod and changing it, i am starting to build my own from scratch. 2 seperate things and most likely these 2 can not run at the same time.

@ Ankaar, some things are possible and some are not. What Deathroe idea suggested about live battles is 100% possible because the game itself does not list anything like that already. However what is possible is to share battles with a 3rd party server to keep track of all battles recorded by the extension BUT that is not the point of this extension because i want the extension to be STANDALONE which means more stability & reliability.

Some features i stated i wanna add might be like how can he do this?? Well simply put anything you see on the game, like your manage colonies page & research page hold most of the information required to build an economic simulator with your CURRENT research, planets & infrastructure. I am just taking the information and combining it to 1 page with the formulas needed to run the economy simulator.

Limitations are to what you the user can see & access. Remind you, we are all basic users & limited to what information we can see.

Extracting the information from each page will be fun & relocating to a new page layout... i guess i found myself a challenge. I thought i would be further along by now already lol. I consider myself a day behind already.

5hour(s) ago how about a Live battle report, which would show who attacked who and the result. No Fleet information, that would be too much intelligence to opponents. Just who and winner.

Is this type of thing even possible? an extension has to draw the info from somewhere. If you were able to access that info you should also be able to see everyone colony info and stuff. I dont think its possible without some level of access granted

The only layout idea i have so far.... any others are welcome....
If you see the blue arrows that is for a collapsing sidebar, minimize the sidebar and you get more space for the main page.

That`s a terrific idea! Oh. My little pony, man. Lol. I like the space battle idea

How about a basic animation playback of what a space battle would look like? When you see the results? You know, sort of like gratuitous space battles or something. :)

If not, a my little pony theme would be good for a few chuckles. :D
