Added D2R images for amulets and rings (unique)

12.05.2021

Finished the Unique Helms! Phew, this is insane amount of work.... i am not sure how I can do all the Unique items out there and then the Sets and then the Rune Words ... and then blue items and rare items...

10.05.2021

Fixed an issue reported by HotJar feedback (wow!!) where if the theme cookie is not set, nothing sets it and people are seeing empty images on the items pages because cookie until now was not set unless you click on the swtich theme button.
Made it to Duskdeep helm
Menus are now built smarter, although i have issues placing all the arrays away from the pages
Updated About me page

08-09.05.2021

Insane improvement on the unique items ideas and the trading platform. Spent 2 days (15 hours today) on this, whole Sunday glued to the PC but it is actually coming together!!!

05.05.2021

Worked on the trading platform idea. Not bad ideas.

01.05.2021

28.04.2021

Finished the white Items meta tags as for some reason they werent done... Uniques and Sets need doing

27.04.2021

I made the switch between D2R and Classic possible! A lot of work now to style the both modes differently. Great success
Using new share buttons from ShareThis

25.04.2021

I am super ahead on the idea behind switching between d2r and classic button for the website!!!

23.04.2021

I've had some issues with the CDN and still some mysteries but it is operational now
I've got myself D2R items images so i've put in place a d2r mode for the normal white items

20.04.2021

I've been working on implementing CDN for the last few days. So i moved all of the static assets away from the site into a static website, which i will be using for origin. It was a lot of work to do it. Took me several hours of work. So i am going to deploy to live

14.04.2021

I did so much today that i can't summ it up
So i decided to try and onboard Luzas' skill planner and actually made it work.
Then decided to experiment with tabs and it worked so i finsihed a tabbed skill trees, just like in-game
Took me some time to develop them into usable pieces but now Classes and Skill Calcualtor are using it. Will need more modifications for the skill planner
Next step, to a skill tabs on Luzas' planner and then try to implement it into the skill planner
Moved the website log into a different page - website-log

13.04.2021

Don't have a lot of time to work right now due to real work but slowly progresing over the character planner. I am implementing real character stats under the hood
I am also getting help from a fan of the site. Will reveal soon.

29.03.2021

Implemented a runewizard which is done by another developer who gave me permission to iframe it

29.03.2021

Implemented a restriction on skill levels on the chracter planner. Now you can not click any skill available to you but calculations will be made against your level and how many skills can you click on that level and that skill level requirement
Experiments with new inventory and tooltip. Want to get rid of the jquery requirements

27.03.2021

Incredible. Added click effect on the skills!
Wokring on D2 Resurrected Sorceress skill tree

26.03.2021

Done with the skill trees redesign. They now use images instead of areas

25.03.2021

I redesigned the whole idea behind the skill calculator. Intead of using a map i am going to use real image skill images

24.03.2021

Made the skill points with 0 to be exactly like in-game - red text

22.03.2021

I did a huge undergoing - modernize the skill calculator code!!! 10 hours and I am almost done

18.03.2021

I am taking some break from actually working on the site but in fact I am very much working on the site :) I am learning how to move it more to Javascript

01.02.2021

Working on a second planner which will be D2R themed. Spent 6 hours.

27.02.2021

Did a small change on the character planner. Moved the + stats from quests and +60 life from quests from the outside form to inside the planner. But i did it on the test planner.

25.02.2021

Did Throwing Weapons, Wands, Daggers, Amazon Weapons, Assassin Katars

24.02.2021

I think i fixed the admin area username requirement... hopefully...
Did Staves, Polearms, Spears and Scepters

23.02.2021

The site load has gone crazy after Blizzconline. 10x times. And it hasn't fallen for 4 days now. I've also got few thank you notes left in the contact form. This gives me energy to continue with this monumental and colossus endeavour
Continued with the White items - Fixed items meta tags and also did the Crossbows and Javelins. Javelins were quite different as they had quantity and do not show durability

20.02.2021

Made quite the overhaul on the design. I am now using Exocet Blizzard font (still using the old one for item tooltips). Now i use a background for with grey stone from the main site of D2: Ressurected for menu, main and footer

19.02.2021

Diablo 2: Ressurected announced so worked for 3 hours on the news page. Also did some new art on the site

17.02.2021

Finally a breakthrough in the custom error pages. They finally work

16.02.2021

Because of the SPAM on the contact form, i added a captcha v2 challenge. Let's see if it will help.

14.02.2021

Reworked how the News page works. From now on i will be having separate files for each news article so they can rank up independently in search engines. I have made it possible for all of them to load on the News from page.

11.02.2021

Implemented a mechanism that will redirect after login page to the previously requested page

10.02.2021

Created a monsterPageBuld function that will deal with Monster page creation. Will have to do similar with the Runwords
Tried to finish the rest of the website's meta build. But huge portions like Items, Unique Items and Sets would need overall touch which will be tends of hours.
Made some significant improvements on the twitter and fb meta tags to help make sharing pages nice. Next step would be to have special images for every page.

09.02.2021

Fixed an issue where users could enter admin area unrestricted
Implemented a function that will build the page meta. This is long time coming
I managed to do 1/3rd of the pages and port them to the new buildPage function. It's a lot of work. Spent most of the day doing it.

05.02.2021

Made a quick but significant change on how items are shown (white items for now). I am hiding the descriptive tooltip for only to mobile use.

31.01.2021

Did the Bows

26.01.2021

Did the OneHanded Swords. Phase Blade was a little tricky but i managed it.
Finished the Two Handed Swords. Quite a work.
Finished the One-handed maces too

25.01.2021

Implemented a Base URL named constant which i need to use as prefix to all media/images src's so i can implement CDN with 1 click later. Took me 3 hours to go through the entire site and do this.

20.01.2021

Worked on the Two Handed Axes. Everything is going great today, yesterday was a bit harder
Next challenge i think will be Swords where Barbarians have One Handed damage as well

19.01.2021

Working on One handed Axes the entire day. Really challenging with the weapons as they have so many more variables than armors

17.01.2021

Finished armors, shields
Finished belts, boots, gloves and circlets. Now weapons but it's late , 3 am 18 Jan and i am tired as hell

16.01.2021

Ok now that white helms are finished, i did the armors. Was fairly quick and painless which shows how good the new implentation is

15.01.2021

I finally made the foreach loop work. This is incredible!!!!!
Huge success with doing the ethereal items. I finally have a way to have them as separate objects. Also added them to the automatic rendering of the page
This is all white helms

14.01.2021

I am working on a foreach loop that will help me display all items in an item page automatically

13.01.2021

I am working on the white helms and trying to make them smart

12.01.2021

Worked on upgrading to PHP 8.0.1 but i have some errors

Worked on the Admin area a bit and made some chages there
Implemented a visitors page in my admin so i can track some of the visits internally

07.01.2021

Improved the skill calculator js function by moving it to a different file
I've made some implementation that tries to remember input fields on the character planner to remember fields when using the Back button (browser or the newly created JS button)
Updated the famous builds under Paladin Class page with a Hammerdin build using the character planner

03.01.2021

Still fixing some stuff around the CSP implmentation. Turns out that all my unique items are using inline styles so i will allow unsafe inline styles for now.

10.12.2020

Thanks to feedback submitted through the contant form, i was made aware that Firewall and Blaze synergies were not implemented into the calculator so i did implement them!

27.11.2020

Did a lot of work on the site to make it readable for high resolutions (2K, 4K, 8K) without having to zoom. And it works pretty well. Only problem is the images

About me page now shows the total hours

29.07.2020

Created the Unique Rings page with the new smart Unique rings
Implemented the rings into the Item Calculator

Up to Black Hades now
Ok Armors Ready!!!
Started Helms.... desperation ... existing progress on Helms is not only useless but it will cost me time :(

12.06.2020

Improved the math on the Unique Armors integrations thanks to reminder of the formula in Reddit.
Did the Unique Armors up to Leviathan. A lot of struggle a lot of work. This is exhausting.

11.06.2020

Huge idea - All Runewords page where i will be pulling the include files of the runewords directly there and will put filtering. Progressed a lot and made the foundations of the page. Ran into some issues like filter's defaul is display: none so this made the original includes hidden so i made a logic where if the URL is runewords instead of runewords110, only then put the filtering div. Quite nice. Spent 4 hours on this.
I should probably sort them by level by default. Will need some logic behind it.
Made some prettifying of the Skill tree JS code
Tried to do some work on the tooltips to make them work on mobile - no luck
Thanks to Stackoverflow for the 10th time, i can now make Unique items the smart way. They are entirely dependent on the base white item

10.06.2020

Changed the font of the skill trees to Exocet
Changed the dark/light theme as until now it was reveresed... the dark was called light and the opposite
Worked on the switch weapons in the character planner. Implemented the core and added Spirit and Call To Arms as choices
Made some improvements on the Rune Words 1.10 code

09.06.2020

So i made a big change today. I've always disliked the "other" skill calclator so i finally replaced it with the one that i use in the Character Planner. I just removed the 20 skill points cap on this one so the skills can go endlessly. For now, I have assigned 110 skill points to distribute and i have given a Reset skills button. Let's see how it plays out but i am super thrilled to get rid of the old skill calc trees.

08.06.2020

Took a few days off to play the Ladder Reset but i died (HC) so im back to working on the website
Implemented unique class for each body so i can control different background images for the acts pages for better immersiveness
Played around with possible use of Rich Text Editor to create news. No real success but learnt a lot about file manipulation with PHP
Changed h3 design
Removed the Download button from all audio

05.06.2020

Started working on the Unique Armors. Did some experiments with the first three armors (Ormus, Shroud and Greyform) and decided to play it smart and invested a couple of hours to develop a UniqueArmors class which will be the base for all Unique Armors and will be responsible for the tooltips and descriptions
Did All the Armors from Start (Ormus) to Darkglow today

04.06.2020

Created a banner that i can use to relay messages to the visitors. The banner will sit below the big Diablo 2 header image. It is pure CSS so it scales with resolution instead of using an image
Saw a few people not getting full body load (perhaps their connection) but the loading screen i implemented yesterday never went away because it waits for the body
Made some improvements on the layout of input fields across the site, including major improvement on the character stats distribution layout on the character planner

Added the Mercenary Stats Calculator to the Calculators page
Added the Mercenary calculations on the Character Planner profile page as well as portraits and random names

02.06.2020

I finally realised thanks to feedback from Stackoverflow on how to complete the Mercenaries structures
Completed the entire Mercenary Calculator!!!
Re-designed the whole Mercenary page. Also it is now available under /mercenaries. The /articles/mercenaries redirects
I am also taking the Mercenaries up on the main menu
Merc table is now available on mobile, through overflowing

01.06.2020

Fortitude Rune Word created
Insight Rune Word created
Spirit Rune Word created

31.05.2020

Made the max (20) skill on the profile page stand out by being bold and orange (for now)
Call To Arms Rune Word created
Enigma Rune Word created

29.05.2020

I've been given a hint on Stackoverflow (again) how to parse the Mercenary stats data and the solution works well, i even implemented it as a calculator for merc stats but it doesn't want to work with the other merc stats

28.05.2020

Made insane progress on the character planner profile page
Added the Gheeds/Anni/Torch options

27.05.2020

Created the Gems page and all of the gems
Created all of the Unique Charms, including all possible versions (i.e Random Hellfire Torch, Perfect Hellfire Torch and all this for all 7 classes)

26.05.2020

Saved all unique helms into variables and into new arrays for easier display later
Thanks to Stackoverflow help (once again) I am able to display the all the unique helms inside the item generator
Broke the Unique helms page with my changes but intervened quickly

25.05.2020

Huge success with the AJAX request tests. I am now ready to generate items with AJAX. For now it will be useful only for Item Generator

25.05.2020

Researched a little bit more on the Twitter and the og elements. I actually played with it for 3 hours and it's kinda messy
Finished the general layout of the classes pages. I have them ready for all classes now, including a skill tree calc. Only small polish needed now
Made some improvements on the re-usability of the skill trees code
Created a General Items page where i included Scrolls, Tomes and Potion info as well as tooltips
Experimented with layout for the uniques items... still hard

24.05.2020

Implemented facebook like/share buttons on the bottom of the page
Experimented with automating the fb opengraph meta tags with such a disastrous effect that i lost all my days work
Added the news of the new ladder reset to the News page

23.05.2020

Created a ebug defense for the Paladin shields, Armors, Helms and normal Shields

22.05.2020

Added a Stramer Watch page where i will be embedding popular streamers
Attempted to create OOP Runes but the tooltip creation is an issue, same as other items. Might ask in Stackoverflow
With the 1 min help of Stackoverflow (use return instead of echo) i ported all the Runes to OOP
Redesigned the Runes table completely
Hopefully improved the SEO of the Runes page

21.05.2020

So played a little with how to OOP Rune words. Played with Botd. I am actually pleased with the result

16.05.2020

15.05.2020

I advanced quite a lot in designing the Quiz system
Played quite a bit with the quiz timer. Managed to make it not to refresh on page load
Experimented with Filtering items with JS. There is a solution but it's a bit ugly
Created the Two-Handed Swords page. A lot of work because of the one-hand two-hand damage. 2 hours

14.05.2020

Did the One-handed Swords page today
Had the idea of a Diablo Quiz app. Started laying out the foundation

13.05.2020

Helms, Armors, Shields, Gloves, Boots, Belts, Circlets, Axes, Two Handed Axes
Created brand new pages for Maces/Hammers and Two-Haneded Maces/Hammers
Made optimizations on the Sets table layout

12.05.2020

Made brightness hover effect on certain images

11.05.2020

I did insane work today. I actually managed to port the skill trees to use input instead of a, therefore carry the skill tree choices into a GET request and then display all the chosen skills!!!! This is so huge that i can't even begin to enjoy it!!!
The result of this is that you can now choose stats and skill tree and display the results and share the link with others to view your build! That's real functionality of the character planner out there!!

07.05.2020

Started building a OOP class page as the one currently serving is just a placeholder
It's crazy but i've split the skill trees inside the calculator on separate images which is basically redesigning the whole bit. Spent the entire evenining doing this ignoring the wife and the kid :(. The benefit of this is that no longer the skill tree calculator is using a single image for all 3 trees. It now uses 3 indivdual images which are now responsive on mobile!!! Another huge bonus is that they are now portable and movable so i can use the skill trees in other pages such as the Class pages!!!
Made some slight improvements on the skill trees in general
Re-oredered the clsses inside the character planner class selector

08.05.2020

Did some work on the Amazon page

06.05.2020

I figured out a somewhat good way of doing the Uniques. Spent 8 hours straight to do this but i finally managed to efficiently do the Unique items. I tried with Helms and in the end i took it down to 15 min/per item. So i did all the helms now and the Uniques Helm page is cool. The Uniques OPP page is 1200 lines of code

05.05.2020

Realized that i can use functions to create the tooltips of the items and the descriptions within the Items pages. So i've spent 4 hours refactoring this
Exprimented with OOP and Uniques. It's not working as expected

04.05.2020

Finished the Belts page
Finished the One-handed Axes page
Finished the Circlets page
Finished the Two-handed Axes page

03.05.2020

Finished the Armors page
Finished the Shields page
Finished the Gloves page
Finished the Boots page

01.05.2020

I did a lot of testing on using classes for Runewords as well. Made some improvements
I will be planning on doing Runewords 110 revamping. But first i need to finish all white items
Did some armors. Will continue later today

29.04.2020

I did the Blood Moor zone and it took me a loooooooot of time just for that zone
I finished the design of the OOP helms and the normal white items page

28.04.2020

Ok finished the Spike Fiend page (6 of them wow..). It's a really gruesome work to do this manually by hand. I think I might stop until i found a smarter way to do it
Started the Fallen monster type and experiemented with Blood Moor zone

27.04.2020

I made the Zombie family of monsters but then realized that there is many data sets that i have not thought about so i had to re-implement them. I think i have the final idea of the monsters now. Also doing the Spike Fiend family to test

26.04.2020

Played with the object oriented approach to Monsters and I finally drafted the Monster class and created a Zombie out of it. Then I made the table that will be representing the monster stats

24.04.2020

Finished the PHP course on CodeCademy so i experimented with objects all day and see if i can help make tooltips. Made some progress but still can't see if using OOP is better for my needs here
Made some experiments with auto-creating unique items tables with foreach ... but to no avail. But managed to made some improvements on the code of the unique pages - table and thead are now in a single file - uniquenavi

23.04.2020

Played a bit with the css. Made some improvements on the header to scale down along with the rest of the page structure
Experimented with mv font style and it can possibly work but i need to modify paddings across the site, so reverted back

22.04.2020

Created gifs for each of the 7 Class-specific sets to dispaly the Aura that they give on full set
Fixed some issues and unfinished business into the character planner profile mercenaries display

20.04.2020

Created Ancient's Pledge and Black runeword itemswith tooltips

19.04.2020

Made improvements on the css of the rune words 110 pages. Now responsive
Removed the images from runewords 111 so people can actually start looking at the real items with tooltips

18.04.2020

Did some tests with character planner save profile page
Did a lot of improvement. I now have a new profile view/save page where the final results of the character planner will be saved and will be viewed/shared via the URL link produced

17.04.2020

FINALLY CRACKED IT!!! i solved the issue where the skill tree in the character planner was being highlited when clicked on Chrome by using user-select css property, I have disabled selection on all a tags out there for short!!! I also cracked another long time problem - The reset button in the skill tree character planner was resetting back to 110 but now it resets back to the proper initial value!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
