ok then what are you saying needs to be done? you want weapons and armour to be on 1 page? keep in mind I am reading from a database... and writing it to an html document... not just an html document loaded with info....

Bigbird - he means instead of listing the items to be clicked on for stats, just list the stats..*shrug*



I like Syntax's ideas..when you ask for ideas, I can't think of any. Then Syntax suggests some stuff and it all sounds gravy good and I wish I had thought of it :D

yeah but that shit is so damn cluttered... PLUS I have ALOT MORE info on the items than turbo! I can put in a few more extra fields... but then it starts to look cluttered on the page... plus it takes longer to display ALL the stats on ALL the items than it does to display a little info then click on it to go get more info



also the way I have it set up is for the monsters and shops... items dropped are clickable on monsters... which makes you jump to all the info on that item.... shops will be the same....

that sounds pretty sweet...



one suggestions - For items, could you on the list maybe have a column for level restriction? Would be especially useful on weapons and armor.

It was just a suggestion, but if it were alphabetized and had all the same info like turbo's I'd be more inclined to use it. And along the same lines, if it could have column identifiers it'd be much less cluttered in my opinion....say every 10 entries or so. Just my opinion though.

Regardless of whether or not it's easier to you people, I find the look to be far superior, I dislike having to look up to see what this number means, or what that number means. With this one, every box has its own title, they aren't just listed with a header.



Reckless said he doesn't like the alpha jumping...



Alpha jumping is one of the reasons I love it. I HATE going to turbofoots and looking for a weapon when they're all by speed. If I knew the speed of a weapon, I'd know everything else too. The alpha-jumping makes shit much easier in my opinion, catagorizing by speed is just stupid.



BUT..just my 2 cents.



... i know it was just your opinion, but im just pointing out how differently people think and like the look of things. i think maybe warhawk should look into making it an option. that would be the best solution.

Nod..then again, to please everyone why not make everything an option? *grin*..BTW i made that post a while ago..you're a little late Reck:)



I guess an option would be good...sometimes you may know certain things about certain items that you're trying to look up that would be easier if it was in ascending or descending order by that specific statistic that you knew.

You ever used his downloadable version of the viewer? That blows both his own and Warhawk's sites away ;)
