Looking for beta testers for a base-layout tool site

Hi,

I'm in the early stages of developing a base-layout tool website: www.cnctaopt.com. It is kind like what cncopt.com does at the moment, but doesn't use Flash. It has the basic functionalities and more will be added soon.

I've put this new site together as I'm getting rather annoyed at Chrome forcing me to reload the cncopt.com page with Flash enabled. As some of you know, Chrome, Firefox and a few other browsers are phasing out support for Flash soon.

Could some of you tested it for me, please.

You will need to install the Tampermonkey script, github.com/zbluebugz/CnC-TA-Opt, first and then play a game. While in the game, select a base and choose "CnCTAOpt" button.

Any bugs/issues found or suggestions, please list them on github.com ...

Thanks.

    when i clciked link in game it went to your site but everything was blank but the info was in url in fact took the "ta" out of your url and it loaded cncopt perfect with my base lol
  • Can you send me the url that you used, please? - I need to see what caused the site to show blank grids. (Found you link you used in the logs. Will check it out)
  • @KG5IZE - thanks for the feedback. I have updated the code to resolve the bug you've encountered.

    yea i was playing with it for a while, one other thing probably my fault. i opend the site like blank and filled in a base and army. i think nod first then switched to gdi fine but when i switched to forgotten alot mainly the special buildings all went invisible except the level number so i tried deleting them after two or three thewhole page crashed lol
  • Thanks for the extra feedback. I'll have another rethink about displaying missing items.
  • hi, thx for trying to improve the cncopt and take flash out of the picture ;) Looking good !
    I've been playing a bit with it, a few suggestions:
    please change the max amount of buildings to 40, since that is the max any base can have
    please make the NOD background logo a lot lighter, for better visibility
    please make it possible, like in the old cncopt, to hover the mouse over a field and type the letter of the building you want to add, in stead of having to click on every field in your cncopt
    http://prntscr.com/oylhef in your cncopt FA buildings become invisible, is it possible to have them visible?
    http://prntscr.com/oylpp2 is it possible to add a quick link button?
    What I missed in the old cncopts is the possibility to copy the coords of the camp into the cncopt, if that could be added, that would be an enormous improvement
  • @rongoree and @PunkiePunk - thanks for the feedback. Apologies for the delay in replying.

    Background logos:
    - I'll upload a lighter version of the logos

    Adding buildings via mouse hover + keyboard letter:
    - Will have a look at seeing how this could be done.
    - ATM, you can select more than one cell and press a letter to add X amount of the same units. Also, raise/lower those unit's levels (this functionality is sometimes a little bit buggy).

    Copy coords:
    - I'll add this feature request
    - CnCTAOpt's link button to include the coords in the URL
    - CnCTAOpt site to display & remember the coords

    Invisible Forgotten defense units:
    - I'll have a look at clearing out the incompatible cells completely.

    Limit to max 40 building units:
    - I'll look at the option to allow the user to enable the limit to be locked in.

    Quick links:
    - Feature is there - simply scroll down the page ...


    I've updated the github page accordingly.
  • Game world is on the ToDo list - just a matter of figuring out which bit of code gives me that information.
  • @rongoree thanks for the code snippet.
    I've updated the Tampermonkey script and the cnctaopt.com website code to handle the world id and name details. Also, the "Create link to base layout" button's code has been tweaked to resolved a few minor hiccups/bugs.
