New Feature X Update: It's All About Flair, Baby

[Collector]

"I know you're frightened.

You're terribly frightened by what you've seen.

But I'm not going to lie to you.

Your friends... are not prepared for this fight."


​

Courtesy of Tefka finally making a significant breakthrough on how to code mods for the website, a new searchbar has been added for the flairs. This will be improved over time (not all colors are added to the search, but all titles are - ie, you can search "jedi" and get all jedi flairs.) and is a fun way to browse through our selections.

In addition, 170+ new flairs have been added to our current growing selection.

Also, a new QOL change has been made to add the Flair Chooser to your Account Menu Dropdown.

this definitely was heard and the old contest that got missed got added (the ones I liked).

 

[Tefka]

also now that we have a damn search function we can go even more ham on adding more in the future if we want.

Are we able to add them from the search bar? I noticed that, at least in my attempt, that despite searching for them I had to scroll down and find them in the masses still. It's definitely a good feature for checking for certain ones in particular though.

Big fan of the three flairs for the other galaxies. Definitely going to be using those

no, and that's by design. The search area is like, a test field. I could add it, and have had it added in testing, but it's even more confusing so I removed the ability.

In a perfect world we'd probably fully integrate search bar function and even reordering flairs, but that would require a huge amount of work for such a small payoff compared to the very small amount of work this took.

And by small, like a few weekends worth of messing with it.

tldr: everything you want is possible but if we focused on it, you wouldn't be getting a timeline, maps, new postbits, etc this week.

Wow! That's an incredibly significant upgrade!

 

[Aktur Seii]

Very nice, thank you.

No worries, sounds good. Wasn't sure if I just didn't use it right lmao

Love the new flairs, took me a moment to realise the search wasn't supposed to add them, but they are alphabetical order so easy enough to find. Only issues are that the search bar is exact search of file name rather than best guess. For example "House Solus" gives me no results because the file name has no space in it. This also means that searching by colour etc. Doesn't seem to work.

But awesome work

Bro how many

Yeah its a direct alphanumeric match, so “solus” would match, spaces will mess u up, Partial text works.

I can add more hints to help on the search screen. Colors, as stated in the announcement, are WIP.

even reordering flairs

Man, this would be amazing tho

 

[Jake Fuga]

Wonderful addition, gives new ideas to make new characters easier with this.
