I worked on something to make outfit submission easier for outfit submitters... it's a thumbnail creator. All you have to do is upload the big screenshot, and select a square. It crops it and resizes it for you, then you can just save it to your desktop instead of have to make a thumbnail in photoshop.

Made using this GREAT jcrop/php tutorial:

Sweet, two new sets have been added by players on the SWTOR forum. Merci!

 

The new on-site forum-form is about a million times easier to use -_-

 

If you wanna submit just an image to an existing set, clicky here:

LadyAdmiral, I just had an idea for you that might help with the future. For the homepage, one thing you might do as time goes on and more submissions get made is display X# of random sets on the index page. That will always keep something on the front page, but still allow people to search through them later on using your filter system.

 

PS-EDIT: Another idea I just had after posting this is for the screenshots. Now while some gear is not just republic or empire it does change visuals depending on which side your on. However the item name in the game is the exact same. It doesn't happen often but there are a few of them. So the idea I had was rather than having someone create a whole new submission for those rare cases; add a flag to the screenshots. Republic or Empire, and depending on the side have a watermark display over the screenshots in the bottom corner.

I cracked up laughing when I saw the gif of the dancing torplayer in the empty image slot xD

I love my guild :3

 

Oh, I had a thought. Are there different outfits for male and female? Maybe you should add a male/female option to the submissions.

Sort of.

There are a very few outfits that are restricted to either male or female (like the sexy slave outfits).

There are then separately outfits that look kinda different on males and females. That's what the giant, unlimited picture gallery area is for :D

Hi!

What I plan on doing in the future is showing the 20 newest sets - random ones would be a good idea too.

Right now there's not enough outfits even in there to filter, heh!

I know about this one, it's tricky :(

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how to deal with it. Maybe I'll have it in there two times: Once with (Rep.) and once with (Imp.) at the end. We'll see when it comes up!

Good news is I can easily duplicate an existing entry so it doesn't have to be typed in twice ^^

I'm in the process of using my noggin' to figure out how to handle sets that look different on the pub/rep side, and also how to handle sets that look exactly the same.

I've got basic categories set up. I'm going to wait till I have more entries (so I can properly test) before I start putting le buttons on the homepage for filtering.

(Quick example, show all social gear: http://swtorista.com/?category=2)

What I'm working on currently is

A) Cataloging all my current trooper gear (AWWW YEAAAAHHH)

B) Creating a secondary type of database to handle guns / sabers, another to handle usable items like the life day orb, another for pets and a last one for speeders. I mean - why not! It's almost the same code. (AWWW YEAAAAHHH x2)

So apparently, while I was diligently setting this up, someone beat me to the punch.

 

http://www.chemayla.net/

 

It was released in beta version a few days ago on the forums.

It doesn't have as nice a layout as mine, and probably not as user-friendly... but it set out what I was trying to do by setting up proper filters AND has HUNDREDS of entries already and is being kept up to date.

 

Sooooooo.... that means there's 0 need for this project, as they'd just be duplicates in content and functionality.

 

Thanks everyone who's been taking a look at this thread, offering support and giving suggestions. Cheers to you all.

^ Ignore the crap out of this please.

no no no no, you keep at this! I'll be sumbitting a bunch of my gear sets soon! (I've just been too busy lately D: )

 

1) your website has a better/more memorable name.

2) yours looks SOOO much better!

3) many other reasons but that would get tedious to name them all. ;)

 

Edit:

If / when you make a database for pets let me know...I'm an avid collector and would love to send some in!

I got a whoollleeeee lotta submissions from my guildies, and now have the full Imperial Tionese set (they look cool!). The rest of the photos are coming throghout the week.

 

Next steps are dealing with those same-image and same-name items, which I've got a solution, now. Just gotta do the code.

 

Next after that are those filters!
