Good Idea, but is there a way it set the Hair Style,Hair Color,Face Type,Skin Color,Facial Hair, and Facial Hair Color with in the MOD maybe as User Profile Fields? otherwise all the Images are just Default

[raistlinthewiz]

customizations will be available on main website (3darmory.com) and all forums using the mod will use the customizations automatically

[raistlinthewiz]

the new api now gives detailed toon info like talents, items, class, race and so on!

You said field 6,7,8 in the instructions, but the code is set to field 5,6,7


BTW, I think this is fantastic



Edit: So I'm testing it out and can't get anything to show up. Seems 3darmory is down for maintenance... so if it's down does that mean any toons that haven't been cached will not show up?

Well I went to 3darmory.com and changed the Hair Style,Hair Color,Face Type,Skin Color,Facial Hair, and Facial Hair Color. I was able to make a screenshot after installing JAVA, but I still see no option to save the "customizations" anywhere on 3darmory.com and so the Images on my site still show the Default rendered image. Is there something I am missing here ?
Just to see if it makes a difference I did update to use the javascript" src="http://www.3darmory.com/api/toon_detailed

everything comes up fine..I just don't see an option to save the "customizations" made to Hair Style,Hair Color,Face Type,Skin Color,Facial Hair, and Facial Hair Color @ 3darmory.com.

Note: Even when I view your posts @ 3darmory.com I see the Default rendered image without "customizations".

Suggestions welcome!

updating the fields thanks for feedback.

for maintenance thing, Blizzard has put offline US Armory for at least 2 days in order to fix issues while Blizzcon 2009 tickets were on sale. As 3darmory.com or any alternative uses the original armory data, when it's down, only cached toons can be rendered. I've just checked the us armory and it seems it's up again.

hi,
customization process in main site is working and users are able to link each other customized toons on the web. for the facebook, wordpress and vbulletin/phpbb modifications we're still working for it and hope we'll announce it also soon..

I use the legacy postbit, and would like to know if you could tell me how to get this to show up, say under the person's avatar picture.

[raistlinthewiz]

you should put the <div class="threedarmory_toon_info"> ...
part on your desired place
