EB Unit List Reloaded

[SirRethcir]

A little Update:
Here is the update package which contains only the new or changed files.
The new Version can be found in the first post.
Adds:
- 3 missing unit pictures
- darker tooltip text
- changed "center function"

The original was intended to work on Opera as well.

Well, it doesn't work properly under IE.
Numbers from the statistics - User Agents (top 15)
25% IE (added together)
24% Firefox (added together)
1.6% Opera

I am quite sure. Litterally out of the box (a Kubuntu/Ubuntu 9.04, machine with Firefox 3.0.9 straight fresh from the repositories), and I do not normally use it so I have not bothered with preferences.

Perhaps Linux Firefox 3.0.9 != Windows Firefox 3.0.9 ?
As long as you are the only one I can do nothing about it.

Actually, I've been reading the online version periodically from my girlfriend's laptop (Vista, firefox .8, apparently) and some (but not all, strangely) of the unit cards are left-aligned while the rest are correctly centred. I didn't seem to have any problem viewing on my own machine (XP, and a slightly older version of firefox), but without going back and checking I can't be sure this isn't because I'd only previously been viewing those unit cards that were properly aligned (I doubt it, though it is still strange that some pages are centred and others not).

Other than that and the few missing unit cards, I don't think I can report any other problems but a few minor spelling errors; even they're hardly worth mentioning.

I love the new Unit Documentation, and my eternal gratitude to you, as I am tired of going to EDU all the time when I know that such tool as unit compare exists. Yet another balloon for you:

However, I do have one complaint. The window containing all the info and pictures is too small, or at least on my Firefox. Please make it larger, at least the size of the original unit compare.

Ok, this is how it should look like:

The display size depends on your font size. In Firefox you can easily change the font size with

Ctrl+ +

Ctrl+ -

Ctrl+ 0

Here's a screenshot: https://img522.imageshack.us/content...napshottfq.png Incidentally while re-creating the problem (with the tooltips) I described earlier, I found out that it (now) depends on the position of my scrollbars wheter they are displayed correctly or not. This can either be a Firefox bug, or a problem with how the off sets are calculated.

Ok, the tooltip thing is my bad.
In your picture the "unit info pic" is above all the other text, actually it should be on the left side (style: float:left).
That's why you have allways scrollbars, and the 'tooltip bug' occurs almost permanent.

Well, perhaps, I must rethink the positioning issue.

Thanks for your help!

Oh, c'mon. I know that stuff. If I wanted to change the font size I would have used that short-cut or go to "View" and select "Zoom". But that is not what I am talking about.

Take a look at your unit list and the original one. The original one has a window that extends through the entire length of the screen. It is a rectangle, standing vertically. Your window is a square. It cannot accommodate nearly as many lines of units.

It is not very comfortable to use. Just like browsing Internet with a cellular phone. Increasing the font size does nothing to alleviate this. I want more info on the screen, not larger, easier-to-read info.

I hope you understand what I am talking about. If not, I can provide screenshots, but honestly, I do not see how one cannot see the difference after viewing the two versions. Not to mention, I do not know where the screenshot folder for the non-game screenies is.

Oh, and did I mention that the new Unit List does not feature the Recruitment Map for each unit? That would be yet another nice addition.

I don't know what you talking about.
With the new Version you get all information at a glance. The only thing you must scroll is the description. It's the same in the old one.
So, as I understand, you really want to read the description "full screen". Well that's debatable - I'll think about it.

EDIT: Ah, you mean the list itself. Hm - I'll think about it.
By the way: "The original one has a window that extends through the entire length of the screen."
This is not quite true. It has a hardcoded height, so with a low screen resolution you either have to scroll twice or just use the space you can see without scrolling. ;)
The best way should be to automatically expand the box up to the browser bottom.

I didn't include them because they are not up-to-date.

Update and Bugfix:

The new Version can be found in the first post.

Adds:
- "Units List" expand in height according to browser dimensions
- though "Units List" has a minimal extent
Bugfix:
- tooltip now works as intended
- the unit image is now placed correctly inside the unit sheet

Update:
I've added the maps, though I haven't updated them and some are missing.
See the first post for more!
