My name's Cypher from the Jung Ma server, and I'm a web designer from Canada (eh?). I'm looking to make a site to catalogue the visual looks of TOR's moddable equipment, relying on community submissions of images and items. This is my progress, questions suggestions and comments thread. The site is currently accessible - but not finished! Here's where I'm looking to the SWTOR Community to throw in their two cents into this site. It's a weekend project being worked on by one person - but it's growing! Even just a post here saying you took a look makes me smile. Add Your Own Images/Items to the Database here! This first post has been edited. Sidenote: tor-fashion is no longer down, but I can't change the title. Edited March 4, 2013 by LadyAdmiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAdmiral Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hey guys. I made a thread about the "Containing Malicious software" thing and Dulfy said that the site is fine but the ads on the site where causing the issues. She has brought the issue to google's attention to get it unflagged. Just so you know. Well this is interesting. I think I'm still going to keep working on this - from looking around, there was quite a few features the Dulfy site was missing that I'm trying to add - things like belts and bracers, all the new types of armour that are coming out, and the older orange armour from heroics and class quests.

moiraesfate Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I can't wait. One of the things I've wanted is a fashion site so it will be easier to choose what my toons are wearing. I was thinking of making one myself. But hey, I'll submit stuff if you get yours up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of making one myself. But hey, I'll submit stuff if you get yours up and running. Hehe, sweet. I've had a lot of people who are interested in submitting - I think it will be ready for private submissions within the next two weeks. -- I've now got a basic visual display of outfits up, and got a thumbnail upload working. Next step is cleaning up the visual display, then creating the galleries to go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerorsw Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Nice to see you've decided to stick with the project. I still like TorCloset as a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAdmiral Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/XrZP3.jpg I've now got the visual display of outfits done (aka you can add them with the form.. and other people can see them on the website now). Next step will be adding the galleries to the outfits.. I plan on adding two: one gallery showing the default items, one for colour-matched outfits players have made with pieces from the set.

LadyAdmiral Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 So.. out of all the suggestions I've gotten so far, the one people have liked the most is the random name I had for testing XD The site will be called "swtorista". Domain purchased and all. I've got the site to the point that private submissions can be made and most of the functionality is there Here's an example entry. http://i.imgur.com/k0AcJ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAdmiral Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I've now got a secondary gallery up for user-submitted outfits... for example, for the set above, I have this crazy combo. http://violetkite.com/torista/outfitgallery/ranger13551.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindxsecrets Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I can't wait for this. I adore being able to pick and choose pieces to go into a full outfit and it's a sad thing that TOR-fashion hasn't been touched in months. I've always wanted to submit to it but it seems to be something of a lost cause now. I will for sure be submitting to yours once it's up. Can't wait for it, the site looks amazing so far from all the previews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moiraesfate Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm assuming you must not have a host yet, because it should come to a host landing page and say something like "There is nothing here" with the hosts graphic on the page. However, it is showing as literally a blank page. As in, my google chrome is saying that it doesn't exist. I'm so excited about this. I can't wait to start contributing.

LadyAdmiral Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've always wanted to submit to it but it seems to be something of a lost cause now. Same! However, it is showing as literally a blank page. As in, my google chrome is saying that it doesn't exist. Yup, that's what you should be seeing. I've got a host, I just have to.. "hook it up" to the domain. I'm being lazy instead. I'll get a landing page up soon =) Thanks for the excitement about this guys ^^ Makes me want to work on it. Next step is to do some cleaning up of the submission forms (there's 4 different ones!) for better user experience and cleaning up the individual outfit display pages (for example if a field is blank not having it show up, and not having commas show up at the end of a list XD). After that is make a better homepage... and then it will be ready for public viewing and hosting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voren_Kurn Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I'm getting excited about this. I was never a fan of how Tor-Fashion was just kinda all jumbled together and you had to just scroll through the mass of images and names hoping to find something interesting. (also praying it was for your faction or class) Having it all organized and searchable as you've shown us is a marvelous idea and I would be more than happy to submit as many sets as I can! I'm going to sub to this thread so I can keep an eye on this project and help whenever possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggardbr Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Just read a little bit but yeah, I'm one to say I can't wait to see this ready and working. I also have a full set in my Sniper i would like to submit, it's the RD-07A Vendetta set (head is hidden) as you can see in the image below: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x324/Haggardbr/swtor2012-12-0523-08-40-35.png The rifle is a X-52 Wraith Infiltrator. I'm also kinda role-playing another agent, an operative this time, Weskër is his name, that I'm trying to dress him as much similar to Wesker from Resident Evil as possible. And to finish, subscribed to this thread... Edited January 7, 2013 by Haggardbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a fan of how Tor-Fashion was just kinda all jumbled together and you had to just scroll through the mass of images and names hoping to find something interesting. Yes!! Like I originally said, major props to tor-fashion for existing at all.. but dannnnngggg filters are awesome. You'll be able to filter by every single option listed on the original post (see the first page form screenshot for a more visual idea). I also have a full set in my Sniper i would like to submit, it's the RD-07A Vendetta set (head is hidden) as you can see in the image below: Sweet! I think I'll be setting up a thread in the next week or so so people can start submitting pics like you just did. At the moment I can't share the fancy form I use to put info into the database because it isn't very secure (aka you could add in a set called "***** *** ********'s Set of *****" with a 6MB image of a donkey attached) - but I could start collecting info/sets from you guys and start putting them in myself here and there.

LadyAdmiral Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) http://swtorista.com/media/img/swtorista-logo.jpg swtorista.com Swtorista.com now has a landing page. Granted, it's just the test data that me and a guild member have been putting in for fun (aka Rev's Super Pants), but you're welcome to poke around! Still working on cleaning up the data, last night I hustled the files over to the proper domain and worked on a logo. I also got Lightbox a workin' for the two gallery types. The logo is a gear (representing customization) and part of the Republic symbol w/ purple to represent the Empire side of things (red's not my thing!). If you're curious about the design, I uploaded my messy logo sheet with a handful of variations: http://swtorista.com/swtorista.pdf Edited January 8, 2013 by LadyAdmiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moiraesfate Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 May I suggest making individual pieces searchable as well? It's great to have a full set, but honestly the full sets usually aren't that easy to get. Plus, allowing individual pieces to be searchable means that the person can select the pieces for how their toon looks. As well, add where to find/how to get the individual items, and how much they cost. Hope that made sense. Site looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAdmiral Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 The way I figured it, it would be easier to set up the database and searches based on outifts rather than individual pieces. It would also mean a lot less maintenance. For most sets, the how-to get each piece is exactly the same, and described in the "category" field. If individual pieces have seperate instructions, there's a special description field. For the basic image uploads of the outfits, it would be nice to have individual pictures of each piece without the full set. Another thing to help look for individual pieces will be the "item slot available" filter.. for example, you can show all outfits that include a helmet, or all that have a belt. You can also submit unique items (like the Nihilus Mask) by themselves (it's still an outfit.. just an outfit with one item). Ahhh I wrote a lot sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
