DKPLU v1.1

DKPLU v1.1

I felt that a few things were missing in the first version. For example people with heavily modified EQDKP pages had to rely on me to constantly make the program's search algorithm smarter. Also there was only one format in which one could output the data. Meaning that the program could only output the list into the feedback window and that the user couldn't add any UI modifications to the list. All that has changed with the new version though.

The change list is small but the two main additions provide much greater flexibility and longevity.

• Added manual override and adaptation of the program's search algorithm.
• Added UI window templates that controls the output's format.
• Added more checks to prevent the program to crash.
• Made some minor graphical changes.

The manual override comes in the form of a new window called "EQDKP reading". From that window one can manually set everything about how the program should read a page in four easy steps. More can be found in the readme.

The new template system is a great tool that allows the user to change the appearance of the window that DKPLU creates. The templates are basically raw EQ UI XML files but with a few special tags that tell the program where to insert its data. Currently ten templates are included with the program, each template makes the list appear in a different UI window.

The other minor fixes are generally related to making the program validate all data before using it. Also fields have received some minor color coding.

In general I hope that this version will stay unless I come up with some really nice additions. Also I'm open for suggestions (use the "Contact me" tab in the menu).
