Alrighty, the Armory Sig Generator is now in Beta.

Give it a try and see how it works for you. If you find any bugs, please post them so I can work out any of those kinks.


Go to http://www.dkpsigs.com

That rocks!! I like the huge selection of stats!

Only criticism(s) would be that the DkPsystem.com looks a little odd in there ... not that you should take it out ... Im not sure what to do with it tho ... it just kinda sticks out a little ... maybe if it was more of a watermark than a big bold set of letters? I think its the size of the DKPSy part of it that looks kinda out of place with all of the other text. (sorry, im an image nut)

and beyond that, any possibility of having some bacgrounds go in there? Maybe also a text color ... and then take that text color and offset it slightly to create the different things popping out like you have the guild name fairly bolded ...

Anyway, definitely way cool! Im guessing this might be an integrated part of our sites at some point? I could see it being awesome for that being that 90% of the guild members prolly aren't 1/96th as into photoshop as I am lol

EDIR : Oh, and for the backgrounds ... they could be black and white (ish) ... maybe colored black and white ... toned down contrast ... to ensure the text all shows up right.

Six Demon Bag
Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?
Egg Shen: Oh, a six-demon bag!
Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?
Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!

K, I gotta move it to another machine.

Alrighty, it's been moved to a significantly more stable machine.

The DNS configuration will take an hour or so to update, but dkpsigs.com will be back online shortly.

I'll look into making the DKP notification a less intrusive thing.

wow, very cool...just a few questions?

The Armory lists who is a GM or not. Can that be part of the sig as well?

Can the pic in the sig reflect the current gear that is on the armory profile?

Are the toon pics limited to male and female? or can any other options be submitted to reflect the actual player toon?

Very cool none-the-less!!!

I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to check that out.

--
It's all in the reflexes.

haha..I thought about doing that, but that's starting to verge on the "extremely difficult." The system, for each character, would have to load the model, skin it, take a screenshot, and then print that.

I may eventually do that, but for the time being, it'll just default to Male and Female of each race/class combination.

Sry Chops,

I edited all my replies into 1, I felt I was just cluttering up the thread with spam. I just kept thinking of more and more stuff after each post...

Mine says character not found?

What is the Character name and server that you are using?

Jaz

Vek'nilash

Fixed. The Apostraphe in the server name was throwing it off.

Thanks Chops. You rock, as usual!

What about background choices or just plain style templates for these. I have some female guild members that are already asking for different background choices. If you do that you might as well offer different text formats.

On the portrait issue. It might be nice to offer just a few different portraits rather than trying to mine everything out for the exact. How you are geared image.

I personally also think it would be cool if the Sig were a link t your actual Armory page.

I went ahead and did this to my own. Its as simple as adding the url tag around the image link that Chops provides.

Alrighty, as per dj's request, the "courtesy of dkpsystem.com" message has been removed (it did look a little hokey), replaced with a "DKPSystem.com" watermark.

With the space that was saved from that, the Professions info was added in it's place, and a 7th configurable attribute was replaced.

If you guys have any types of backgrounds you'd like to specify, let me know, I'm sure I can make something happen. The Parchment background is just the first version, but I can certainly add some kind of "theming" approach to this (which are custom made).




Edit: Just looked at your site. She doesn't like the Yellow there, eh? The colors that it uses for the actual picture is based on the raid screen colors. That's not not even something I can dynamically modify, I'm afraid. That would involve redoing all those images.

--
It's all in the reflexes.

I never noticed she was talking about the background of the portrait. When she said yellow I was assuming the parchement. To be honest I am not all that fond of the deep purple on the Warlocks. Its really hard to see the foreground character image. Again this might be easier to accomplish by providing more choices in the image department rather than defaulting off the Male/Female and class.

Is there any way you can feed of functionality like this?
WoW Model Viewer
If you could mimic this functionality to present the model options and gear sets people could customize the paper doll look and dynamically create their own image. Or give people the option to use model viewer on their own to create a custom model and upload it for use in the Sig. I realize that to do something like model view does (minus the animations) of course would take a lot of work and probably require your to write your own application to accomplish the same thing.

As for themes I'd like other people to chime in here too. I'm sure that others have ideas like class specific themes. Like something that bodes more to a Holy Priest as opposed to a shadow priest. Then you might just look at offering people the option to choose a parchement of a different color. A different font style and different colors.

Missing attributes. You don't give a total general Bonus Damage or Bonus Healing. Holy Damage isn't general reflective of what a Priest or Holy Paladin do. Also your missing Spell Hit Rating.

Is there anyway you can pull out the "highest pvp rank" as an option to display or as a default above the name?

Warning Special ASCII will not work on Blizzard Armory. if you have name like I have on an alt rogue Mülan it will not work.

Not EXACTLY true. Our guild is Apöcalypse... you just need to use the special characters.
