So after some time when cubicleninja planner wasn't updated with new DUs and maps i've decided to create it's clone, but better, faster, harder one! ;]
After 3 days i got it working. It uses parts of original planner JS code (it's hard not to do this in similar or even same way).
And here it is: http://ddplanner.com/
Features:
- Choosing ALL AVAILABLE maps
- Placing defenses
- Rotating defenses (by draggin yellow arrowhead that appears after hovering them).
- Deleting Defenses by double clicking them (now with cross-browser support)
- Adding Layout Name (will be used in link: /?l=ID,your-layout-name)
- Adding Notes
- Customizing DUs of towers with live update of spent DU
- Adding Guardians
- Toggling on and off specific class defenses on map.
- Show/Hide Crystals
- Highlight Defenses (no more "hidden" defenses that you can't spot)
- No treasure chests on maps for better visibility of layout
- You can edit previously saved layout (based on cookies)
- You can design 2-step (or 2 alternative) layouts, after saving first one you will be given option to do this. Mind that only link to SECOND layout will show both of them (for example: WRONG: /?l=111 and RIGHT: /?l=111-114
What i plan to add or fix in future (by priority):
- Handling Cookies for remembering changed DU values as well as preferences (such as highlightning defenses, showing crystals, Tower AoE stats etc).
- Option to switch to Console view to update all DUs to console defaults (does consoles have different DU?)
- Option to choose challenge for map that will overwrite total DU for chosen map.
- Images with wyverns flight path and spiders spawns to show on map (much like it's now with crystals - overlays with option to toggle on and off).
- Toggle option to show how defenses radius/range will look like in game with options to toggle Nightmare Mode. (will require adding your Tower AoE stat for each class)
- Search option, i'll start working on this when layouts saved will exceed 1000. Searches will have challenge information, class "importance" (based on def number per class) and infos like name, used DU, number layouts (one or two for multi wave layouts)
- Cache images
Bugs/errors:
- placeholder text doesn't work in all browser
- changing DU for multi layouts have it's flaws
Leave your feedback and spread the word that new DD planner is going out to the world!
And most importantly - post any errors and bugs not mentioned above!
