In the past few days I was working on icon-support for aoe4guides.com. I was supported by the author of RTS/AOE4_Overlay to make sure, that the builds stay compatible - even with illustrations.
Starting today, you can use the in-game icons to illustrate your build order on aoe4guides.com. Furthermore, import/export of AOE4_Overlay files is now supported.
So, for yellow rows (changes) you can skip timings and keep them at regular rows.
btw first row is strange. 7 on food, ### # ###### I understand what it means, but it’s inconsistent.
if your description is a task: send 7 to food, than starting position should be 0 0 0 0
if your rows is “finished” result for the description, then the first row should be 0 7 0 0
Yeah, you found an error in the example screenshot. It should be 0 7 0 0.
Be creative and use it the way it suits your needs best.
I know the git diff but have the feeling that more “magic” and color coding would rather make it harder to use for the majority of users and feel “techy” . Feel free to tailor a pull request, though. It’s open sourced.
Idea for re-assignments. How about going for multi-line?
First line = start state
Second line = End state
All within one row
This is because valdemar’s build stems from age4builder.com which does not support the additional columns. I just exported and Imported it without adjustments.
Just in time I prepared the voting feature that you can use complementary to the already existing favorites feature. Along with the voting the all new popularity sorting is the new default.
Up- or downvote build orders which impact the popularity score and improves the highlighted build orders on the landing page.
