[Fun] spread of CH figures

I'm getting lazy, so this one is just online:
http://neoncat.x10.mx/fun/figures-spread.html

And for all color variations:
http://neoncat.x10.mx/fun/figures-spread-all.html

(The page merely generates all image urls in the form "RaceClassGNX.png", for N = 01 to 09. Some of those don't exist right now, but will fill in as more figures are pushed to the test server.)

 

I'm getting a lot of broken image links on the page.

 

Same.

 

The page merely generates all image urls in the form "RaceClassGNA.png", for N = 01 to 09. Some of those don't exist right now, which is why you have the broken links.

(There's no way to look at all the figures besides this brute-force check-every-url because Figures.csv isn't a complete manifest.)

 

You could generate the page using PHP and use file_exists() to check whether the image file is there before attempting to display it.

 

This was a 5-minute impulse doodle, so I probably won't expend effort in polishing it.

 

What? A cat getting lazy? Why that's ... *yawn* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Fair enough. Also, just ran into a slight hurdle trying to see if I could write a 1-minute patch to your code because the Card Hunter server returns a special kind of error page when a file isn't found—it's not a standard 404 but some XML page with some spiel about access denied, and I couldn't be bothered to spend a second minute tweaking my conditionals.

Cats 4eva zz

 

*mrrrrrr* Okay, since it bothered y'all so much, I implemented a one-line fix. (Images hide themselves if they fail to load.)

 

Thanks for this.

I've been wanting to make a paper version or couple, and this made it possible. Shame that there were no backsides though, but a mirrored backside works.

 

Changelog v2:
- added secondary page which shows all color variations

 

Anyone know if we'll ever be able to pick a preferred color variation? I think I Would buy more figures if I could choose some of the other color variations. They look pretty awesome.

 

Color variation is determined based on the position of the character in your party. (I think...)

 

Pretty sure it is based on position in party but only if you have another character in your party with the same figure.

 

You need several copies of the same figure in your party to see more than one colour. The first one is always the basic colour, no matter what party position it is in.

 

That's kind of what I figured, but I just think it would be cool to be able to choose the color, with the restriction of not allowing multiple figures with the same color in the same party. I don't (at the moment) frequently use full parties of the same figure.

 

One figure is missing from the variation page, this one:

The "b" at the end is not capitalized for this one for some reason. It's the same situation on the live server.

 

Hi Neoncat,
I like the figures very much. Going to use the dwarf priest as my avatar.
Best,
M.

 

Somebody who bought that figure should probably test if it works when you have 2+ elf warriors in your party.
