For those New to the topic, Due some problems at the host the site is currently unavailable (which is why the topic was bumped by worried users).

Original post:
So you want so show the community how the talent trees of you class should look? You can do so now!

In my free time I created a "small" tool that allows you to build your own talent trees. Now that I consider it (close to ) done I wish to share it with the community. Be mindful however, its still in beta, you may find it refuses to save something you worked for hours on...

You can find this tool at the following place:
Note - If you see a "This site is currently suspended" page, your DNS has not yet updated to the new DNS Info. Please give your DNS some time :)
http://talents.unleashedgaming.net/?p=ct

Currently this is what needs to be added:
- A way to load the default talents for a class (this is high priority) [Done for druid / mage / warrior]
- A way to allows linking to talent builds
- A way to edit your tree once you saved it [Done]
- A Quick save to use while working
- A "Selected random icon" feature
- * Your suggestion goes here *

If you want to report a bug / give a suggestion / post a question / post a build - please post it in this topic (if possible save the Tree and link it here) or use the "contact" page on the website

Enjoy this tool!

Known issue:
[FIXED] - Having new lines in your description will prevent tree's from showing correct. (working on this as I speak)
[FIXED] - Using ' in the sometimes prevents the tree's from displaying (its saved correctly though)

Awesome, but how do you fix arrows in it?

And they lived happily ever after... then came the Deathcoil.

In order to make an arrow you need to have 2 talents. Lets assume you want "Talent X" To require "Talent Y".
1) Make Talent Y
2) Make Talent X and in the "Lower Requirement" box (If Talent Y is on the same row use Left / Right Requirement) select Talent Y
3) Add the talent, your arrow ill be auto added for you.

Keep in mind that arrows can't cross other arrows or go through talents, there needs to be a clear path. In addition arrows wont go more then 4 rows down.

I'm looking into a quick save. As for the Tree's, I'm considering adjusting the check so it only requires 1 full tree. Have to fix a bug first as its high priority for me :)

I noticed your tree and put down a workaround for your tree's. The should work fine now :)
There is a bug preventing them from displaying correctly, working on that :)

Edit: My mistake. Great Tool.

This is not a tool make a talent Build for your class. Its a tool to make the Talent Tree(s) itself :)

You didn't click on the link did you? You get to create your OWN set of class talent trees to your own liking! Create new spells, upgrade different aspects of the class etc.

According to my calculations the post above this line here ^^^^ is complete bulls**t. Everything in this smaller box is complete true.

Sweet. looking good ^^

A suggestion tough, to make it less time consuming making trees:

Dont force choosing an icon when creating trees, really slowed mee down when using it.

Other than that, good job

Ok Looking into it, Have to get out the bugs first though :)

Edit: Done, you only need one full tree now (full means at least 7 (or more) talents)

In addition it will automatically assign a placeholder icon if you are to lazy to pick one (talent name is still needed though).

Nice time waster you have there :)

I guess once you can provide the current trees as stating points people will start to seriously play around with it.

Also at the moment, you can create one tree, and changing the class doesnt change the template, only the background, no what you expect from the normal talent calculators.

For the icons, the loading time for picking icons is relatively large, so you might want to provide a randomly selected default icon that people can then modify.

Also it would be nice to change the layout slightly so that it becomes a bit more promiment that it is a fantasy talent tree :)

I'm building them all as we speak, but had to pause to fix a nasty bug.


Q u o t e:

Its intended to only change the background. That way you don't accidentally clear out your tree's if you change class (Confirms might work, but I figured that if this is a faster solution when using it)


Q u o t e:

Added to my ToDo list.

I like it the way it is. The big button with "Create your own Talent tree" should say enough. If you got any good idea's on how to adjust it in a good way, well, I'm open to suggestions

did a test:
http://talents.unleashedgaming.net/?p=vt&i=5
and the save worked fine :)

one thing i would like to see thoght is the ability to add things other than numbers to the "@" rank part, because for example on the rogue talents with one when the rank increases it adds "more effective than rank (rank before) but noes not have this text when no point are invested into it.

would also like too see when previewing it and when its finnished how many points have been spent in the each tree and in total (level needed would be nice aswell)

Thanks for posting that, seems the Server at home and at unleashedgaming.net have a different config :P (note the extra "'s everywhere, gonna fix that now)
edit: fixed now... notice how it uses the correct icon now :)

I'll look into it, but due to the way I save ranks (I simply save the description and numbers) this may take a while


Q u o t e:

For total / level needed => will be done soon. However I would like to advise you to hold your mouse on the Tree header (the gold letters) for a short while :)
