Talk:Seth's Sandbox

This is where I test out my ideas. Some work, like the RSS reader, others go nowhere like the form created critical space 'Mech designer.--Seth 00:09, 14 November 2012 (CST)

 * Any progress with the "Share a Variant" tool yet? :) ==MeepSire 23:47, 15 November 2012 (CST)
 * No, but it has been a low priority. Anything I worked on was either too complicated to be practical for most users or too simple because it didn't have enough details about the variant. As soon as I can quit my job and work on this full time, I'll be all over that though, lol.--Seth 09:44, 16 November 2012 (CST)
 * That overview/stock stuff atlas box in neat. I think it would work best for the mech overview pages... :) Also, the tabs gave me an idea, put in one more tab, describing a/the most common/notable modification. Like the GaussPult version of the K2. The description can be vague, such as ~5 HS or +- 8 tons of armor etc... Could be a neat idea... A Flash or JavaScript mini mech lab would be neat... But Flash requires you to buy the studio (Expensive...). JS is Ok... but they both take a bit of work... Some one could make an application (PC) that reads your mechlab file (a copy stored on ur pc) and upload that... I could, but it would take me a few months working by myself... (I have other things to do to... :D) ==MeepSire 22:56, 25 November 2012 (CST)
 * looks like we are on at same time... :) new stuff? ==MeepSire 22:58, 25 November 2012 (CST)

Critical Spaces
The Critical Spaces overview is about where it was before I stopped working it. The template itself is fairly complicated and ties into the .css settings. Fortunately, a form Form:Criticals that makes filling it out relatively painless. However, it would be something for advanced users only and would become a static display on each 'Mechs table (probably in a collapsible table to save room) and wouldn't need updating anyways since it would display the stock loadout. --Seth 00:52, 11 December 2012 (CST)
