(beast mastery is in all professions)
Post your feedback by clicking here. It helps me help everyone better. I have finally posted the SWG Expertise Signature Generator online!
You can now make a small sig of your template using the Expertise Calculator. Just visit this page to get started. Here is a sample of what it looks like (there is a white themed one as well).
Simply click on the number boxes under the skill name to spend points on them and click on '0' to drop them. Warnings will appear at the bottom in yellow. Red boxes are abilities and blue boxes are mods (abilities can be launched from toolbar and mods are passive buffs). There is a progress bar on the bottom right that will empty as you spend points. You can save your template and load it later for further editing or sharing! Simply click on the 'Save & Share Template' link and optionally enter your email address in the box. The system will send you an email with the link to reload the template. I won't be selling or sharing anyone's email address. Once I have an opt-out system in place, I will send out an email when significant updates are made (that you can unsubscribe from if you want).
A new feature allows you to 'overload' your template. This lets you spend more points than your level allows (no limit). All the other rules are still in place, so you must fulfill all other requirements. Please, please report any and all issues in the thread below. I can only fix issues that folks let me know exist. If you have something nice to say, that's also welcome! Constructive criticism is also good. Please provide feedback on this thread.

This has been written using Ajax so that the page never has to reload! It will operate faster and more efficiently this way. This is only tested to be working in Firefox 1.5+, IE 6, IE 7b3, IE RC1. If it works in another browser, great.. If not, use one of these. It is best viewed by 1024 by 768 or greater (just like SWG). Here is the list of items that are on the list of items to add very soon: - Nomenclature system for sharing templates with only text
-
Mini-map of skills selected Done! - Add 'quick sheet' description of all skills for trees
- Vote / Rank templates
- Feel free to suggest additions or changes here.
For those folks who wonder how long this will be in beta, the answer is, "I don't know". I'm getting more and more confident it is bug free, but knowing that seven more professions are going to be added....I think it will be in development for some time to come. Eventually, each profession will have its own version number and the system will have its own. Yes, you might find a bug (if you are very smart)! If you find one, please post it in this thread. - If you load a template saved prior to version .2, it will show skills 'grayed out'. You can workaround by dropping each skill and re-learning it one by one.

- 1.1 - (9-14-2006)
- 1.0 - (9-8-2006)
- I'm comfortable with the system now enough to call this version 1. :) This means that there shouldn't be any bugs related to how the system works in general. What you expect to happen actually happens and it all works. I'm 99.9% confident that the BH and Jedi data elements are all right (assuming I didn't break anything while fixing the Officer data). The Officer data hasn't quite yet stood the test of time, but I'm fairly confident that the calculator accurately reflects what has been posted.
- New feature - Added Officer data!! I also got a nice remark from Mark "Tunso" Halash who is the designer of the Officer Expertise.
- Officer Bug fix - Grim Blows has no pre-req. (thanks GuerrierLaser and
anttorsetmar)
- Officer Bug fix - Surgical Demolition and High Explosive have no pre-reqs (thanks TennerRavenstar)
- .71b - (9-7-2006)
- Full code overhaul and new client interface version. Several internal versions tested and updated. Many bugs introduced and fixed. This version is the first released and could possibly have a bug that slipped by so please report it. This version should be close to the final 1.0 version.
- New feature - Brand new interface! This is designed to resemble in-game screens and should be easier to navigate as well as much better looking.

- .45b - (8-28-2006)
- Bug fix - Somewhere along the way I recently introduced a bug that stopped showing the points spent in the list of skills. This has been fixed.
- .44b - (8-24-2006)
- Improved locking system to better prevent multiple requests being sent to the server at one time. This has been causing rare glitches to templates. I believe this will finally fix it.
- The cursor changes to an hourglass to help user know when data is being loaded in the background. This should also help eliminate the odd times when templates get bugged due to lag.
- .42b - (8-22-2006)

- Bug fix - The level was being saved, but it wasn't being loaded properly. It now loads the level that you saved. Any template saved in .2 or higher will load the level properly.
Bug fix - Famous "skill poing shifting" bug was still possible across skill trees. You were able to select skills on one tree and get point credit on another. Why is this famous? Because
every other calculator suffers from the "skill point shift" or the worse "drop it later" bug. - A few small UI changes
