shadowcraft usage

Please forgive me if I am asking the wrong question or asking it in the wrong place, I have been following this thread and am confused . Is this thread about the making and mechanics of the new Shadowcraft tool or a combination of the mechanics and usage? I used (I guess) the alpha on the web and was very impressed with it , it has stopped functioning and I was wondering if the app is meant to be installed by me on my computer to be used or will it be web based ? If it needs to be installed on my comp is there clear directions on how to do so for the non programmer. thank you

I wonder if this works (or will work) for Russian (part of EU) characters.

For example, my char's name is: Мекс on Гордунни Realm.

I could not load it in your tool... Although, it works for non-russian so far.

Alright, I apologize if I'm doing something completely dumb here, but my character won't seem to import. I can import every other rogue I know using the web UI, and their gear shows up. When I import my character (Serrafina @ Earthen Ring,) no gear shows up. Not even any gear slots, as if she were naked . Her spec shows up, and the "Export" field is filled with coding of her gear...

She doesn't have strange characters in her name, she shows up in armory just fine, and I know for a fact that she exists.

I've just started playing rogue, and this is my first dabbling in spreadsheets, so I'm probably asking a dumb question and looking directly in the eyes of the banhammer, but I'd really like to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated! =)

The old armory is broken. I'm working on classes to parse the new armory. It's a bit more complex because the old one was just XML, whereas the new one is HTML, which means more work to parse it and pull out the relevant bits.

Flywheel has said that JSON feeds are currently in the works and that they are aiming for a first quarter release. Might be better to just wait for the feeds rather than deal with scraping the html which will potentially change often without warning.

Ah, nice. I've got it working with full tests to make sure things are noticed when they break, but I'd prefer json feeds.

Old armory forwards you to battle.net but XML feeds are still there. There has been few minor changes to the schema, but Blizz said old armory XML feeds will be alive until new feeds are ready.

I noticed in Aldriana's style guide that the decision was made to use Python v2.6. App Engine only officially supports Python 2.5, so if you run into weird bugs, this could be something to keep in mind. I don't know if you guys were planning for App Engine to be the main deployment environment, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm having the same problem as some above. All other rogues I've clicked into show up but Cynity @ Emerald Dream (currently page 44) greets me with a blank page.

I was actually looking at the source for the armory the other day and pondering whipping together a quick python script to parse the stats information from the armory to pass to ShadowCraft. There's a block of data in the HTML that includes all of the information, so it should just be a matter of pulling out that bit, pulling out the needed stats from it, then passing them to ShadowCraft. If you look at the source for an "advanced" armory page, search for "Summary.Stats". That's the block I think I need.

There's a section for gear as well, but it only includes the item names not the item numbers. It also doesn't include gems, enchants, or reforging. You'd have to parse all of that from the HTML, sadly.

I know the armory is down and yes I looked through this thread but couldn't see this mentioned.

cjo20 built shadowcraft-tools addon a while back.

But the import function doesn't seem to work on either the appspot spreadsheet or the shadowcraft one.

Is this some thing I'm doing wrong or does it simply not function yet?

The new armory isn't fully up yet and the old armory doesn't support everything that some tools need. This is causing friction. Some tools have been temporarily modified to scrap the HTML of the new armory but this is a temporary solution and probably not really a focus of anyone; some are simply waiting for the new armory to be completed (sometime after the new year I think).

When the new armory is completed I'm sure you'll see something here. Shortly after that everything should start working much more smoothly.
