XIVSIGS -- Signature Designer (Alpha)

Dear Friends,

I'm pleased to announce that I've just completed work on a (first-draft) sig-designer for XIVSIGS (xivsigs.net). Your feedback on the first version of the site was critical in this process, so many thanks for that! :D (re: here)

Some IMPORTANT notes about the Sig Designer (alpha):
1. You can only change the size/color of text items, not images; and you do that before you drag them.
2. The click-detection of text items after dropping them on the canvas is pretty wonky, generally the drag-anchor is near the beginning of the text on the left side.
3. The box labeled DROP IMG HERE is for external (your computer) images only, all other images get dropped directly on the canvas.
4. It's under continued development! :)

As always your suggestions and feedback are invaluable.
Thanks in advance. :)

theres no place to drag anything too

Though there is clearly an object beneath "Drop," as there is a highlightable box of the size I selected, dragging things to it doesn't seem to work, at least in Chrome.

Hmm, I am using chrome.
What are you trying to drop there?
Any errors in the console?

Thanks for the feedback!

Pretty much anything and everything on the left hand side under drag.

Unlike your screenshot in the previous post, the object is not visible for me without highlighting it. It is the correct size though and changes if I choose a different size.

Aside from the ARM icon being unable to load, I don't know that there's anything wrong with it. Nothing seems super broken. I disabled Ublock just in case that was the issue, as I have custom filters I use to block certain elements on other websites, but that did not correct the problem.

Ok, I used your ID to test and figured it out (hope you don't mind.)
ARM is actually ASM, haha -- oops, and that was busting some JS and erroring out.
Fixed. :)
Sorry about that, and thanks again for the feedback on it! <3

I just wanted to confirm that I refreshed and it is indeed working now.

Here is an eyesore of a sig I just generated by trying to make use of everything.

It is very busy. :P

Heyas,

So, they updated the lodestone UI-- and it totally broke the parser i wrote. Granted, the changes made it slightly easier to parse, but i still had to basically rewrite it. :p

Everything should be working again! <3

I just want to give a big thank you for this, you guys did an amazing job!

The only issue I noticed is that sometimes, it was a bit hard to target and move the different elements. When several small parts were grouped together, the cursor tended to grab the one below the element I was trying to pick up. It was still perfectly usable, but I thought you might want to be aware.

Where did you get the job symbols? or did you render yourself?

Would it be possible to make a grid to go on the input box(that could be toggled on and off) to make aligning things up easier?
