SPECIAL WEDNESDAY EDITION!

So I had the idea of some kind of script that ran in a gui in an IS session that would allow you to quickly enter a character name, server and query their relevant PvP stats. This could be useful for arenas, rated Bgs, or any PvP situation where you need quick info on how geared / rated your opponent may be.

I briefly talked to Lax and he recommended I write the code and run it via a browser in a video fx. I knocked out a script pretty quickly, and used some mobile jquery UI stuff to make it readable. What I ended up with was a videofx I could interact with and quickly query an opponent.

Here is the main window where you would enter the opponents info:


Here is the resulting info about the opponent.

The info shown can easily be tweaked to show other relevant info. Currently I have it displaying both specs, Resilience, and what their arena team ratings are. This isn't anything too ground breaking of special in and of itself, however it's a nice proof of concept. I'm not sure the process of launching a window, attaching it to a video fx source is worth it when alt-tab is so much easier.
