    I saw yours awhile back and wanted to make my own but didn't see the link. Stumbled upon this main thread and now I have my own custom roster, great work man, huge thumbs up!! Also, nice work adding Bullseye (Classic) so quickly.

    cynder, you need to use the permalink text in your link. At the moment it'll just allow people to make/edit their own.

    Working on it now....lol but hey while I have your attention do you know when the power icons for Vision and 3* Bullseye will be up on the Wiki? I ask because I see your edits on there all the time and I have my own spreadsheet tracker that I would like to add those to, thanks.

    rut roh. I didn't do something right. after I loaded my roster I changed the long character string to TxMoose on the permalink and hit save. put that like in my sig and the link doesn't work. so, did I screw it up by changing the permalink? what can I do to fix? sry.

    having the same trouble, I used Word and wrote "My roster", added a hyperlink to it, copied it and put it in my signature but I still can't click on it to display my roster, can we get some help here guys to show off this awesome tool? Maybe put something in the OP so people know how to do it.

    yeah, I'm an engineer - needs some plans and specs to show me how to do it... icon_e_wink.gif

    lol...could put a write up on the instructions at the bottom of the roster also. As Cymmina mentioned in the OP, the link to my roster is too long for the signature so I need to try and figure it out....thought the hyperlink would have worked...

    I was not aware of this thread. Good job! I added my roster to my sig a few days ago.

    • Level descending
    • At Power Cap descending (not currently accounting for this one, using Rarity ascending instead)
    • Current maximum level descending
    • Name ascending

    ...

    If this is not the preference for most users, I am open to changing it.

    Close, but i think it actually goes Level -> # of Covers -> Name

    If you can add more sorting options, leave the default to match the in-game style.

    You can't set the permalink, it is generated based on what you've added to the roster. It will change every time you update your roster. Refresh the roster webpage and see if it's still correct. Then copy the permalink.

    The forum works a little differently. If you want to add a link to your sig, it needs to be in BBCode. Here's an example:
    [url=http://www.google.com]Google[/url]
    That creates this -> Google

    So add the link after the equal sign, but keep the text that you want people to see inside the brackets.

    Here's the code in my sig: 
    [url=http://goo.gl/1SzqzA][img]http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr227/Hairy_Dave/TKBanner.jpg[/img][/url]
    In this case, you can click on the picture to go to my roster. I had to use a link shortener because with my roster, the URL became so long it exceeded the limit of characters allowed in the signature block.

    Huge thanks for the info, thumbs up!

    Yeah, it seems like the only way to get a roster link in your sig is by using a URL shortener. Not as convenient as it could be, since I believe you'd have to make a new one each time you'd want to update, but it's usable.

    (as for wiki stuff, i don't upload them unless i see them on the forum and the icons haven't been updated lately. someone else got a clean looking vision, though.)

    Thanks for the info on getting the roster link to work, I got mine working but I want it hyperlinked to make it nice and clean looking...still working on it.
    Yeah the one I posted was right when he came out so it had the comic issue info tag on it, glad someone cleaned it up.

    I still cannot get it to be one clickable link no matter what combo I used, even copied the example from jojeda, did not try the one with a picture but it is viewable in my sig, I will mess with it later.

    If you can add more sorting options, leave the default to match the in-game style.

    Unless Steam has a different type of sorting than the mobile version (which I doubt), you can see here that a max covered The Hood gets sorted ahead of a max covered Black Widow when they are the same level:

    http://steamcommunity.com/id/cymmina/sc ... 2737307419 (page 1)
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/cymmina/sc ... 2737323500 (page 2)
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/cymmina/sc ... 2737324620 (page 3)

    If anyone has any data points that prove otherwise, I'd like to see some confirmation before I make changes.

    I have some ideas for things I'd like to change/add that I'm still sorting out (additional views, integrated URL shortener, etc.). But those things are a long ways off.

    Edit:

    Here's Scarlet Witch sorting ahead of Cyclops when they have an identical number of total covers (8), but SW has a higher max level (104 vs 102): http://steamcommunity.com/id/cymmina/sc ... 2743885359

    Hmm. Hadn't noticed the power cap sort. Here's what's throwing me off:

    A lvl 78 Bullseye is ahead of a 1/1/1 Kingpin. Both are at their power caps.

    A 2/1/1 lvl 94 4* will be placed behind a 13 cover 3*, even though the both have a power cap of 94.

    lol you rock man! I am having trouble using the recruit heroes tab? It just won't go to the selection, any ideas?

    It must have been something with my roster, I started a new one and it seems to be working again. I added one cover for the chars I am missing so I won't have to make a new one if I ever get them (IW, 4hor, DevDino)

    If you're looking at it from a permalink, you won't be able to save, I must have disabled the ability to recruit heroes as well (I didn't want people accidentally overwriting their own local save when they were viewing someone else's roster). I will look into fixing that so you can.
