Gorgon Explorer

[Tannin]

Hey guys, I'm working on Gorgon Explorer and I wanted to make a forum thread for this to kind of gather the information in one place.

I'm excited to say I've just deployed the latest version of Gorgon Explorer which includes a new update to the build planner: abilities! Please note: While I always try to test thoroughly and implement useful stuff, this update is a work-in-progress! Some things may work weirdly and information may be missing. If you find instances of this it would be extremely helpful to let me know here, via the contact form on the GE website, or on discord.

I want to do much more cool stuff with the build planner, and I don't consider the work on it to be anywhere near finished. However, I am releasing it in its current state mostly to gather feedback as I continue to improve it. I would like to eventually give the build planner far more capability for visualizing your build as a whole, but I need to know what will be most useful to people before I start implementing things.

Following is a more detailed list of changes:

Minor Improvements/Bugfixes

• Fixed issue where Mods tab would intermittently fail to load
• Changing a skill in the build planner now only removes those mods associated with that skill, instead of all of them.
• Various minor "behind the scenes" updates

Major Update: Abilities

• The build planner now has two "hotbars" with support for slotting abilities for each skill.
• Clicking the "+" next to the respective bar will open a dialog with a list of those abilities. Hovering over them here will give you information about them.
• Drag abilities from the abilities window to the hotbar to slot them. If you want to replace one, simply drag a new one over it.
• Old build ids will still load properly, and you should be able to load them, add abilities to them and then re-save them if you want to update builds you've made recently.
• Hovering over the ability in the hotbar will display a list of mods currently affecting that ability
  NOTE: Abilities/Mods can get a bit complicated and this feature can effectively be considered in beta! It still needs to be fleshed out more and I'm sure there are issues with it I haven't found. If you find a bug, please report it to me via the website, here on the forums, or on discord.

Known Issues/Caveats

• Right now there is no support for a sidebar. Sidebar abilities will still appear and can be dragged to the hotbars, but there is no dedicated "sidebar" on the UI just yet.
• If you select the same skill twice and try to have, for example, two "Archery" hotbars, weird things will happen and only one of them will work. I will probably fix this eventually, but since this isn't possible to build for in game it's not my top priority.
• You can drag the same ability to a hotbar multiple times. Again, I will fix this eventually, but for now just don't do this (why would you want to anyway?)
