Changelog 2.1.1 (“Corki”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Nautlius’ data has been added.
  • Deprecated the old and broke way of storing data on my Amazon server and replaced it with the new hotness way of doing the same thing. Bottom line: If you’re using a version of The Imp older than 2.1.0 as of the 2.1.1 update, a) Y U NO UPDATE???; and b) Your champion quotations, rotation, and sale data will no longer load. Sorry 😦 It’s for the best, I promise!
  • Updated The Imp with data from the Nautilus patch.
  • Did some layout rejiggering on the Item Detail page.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause the app to crash if you attempted to view a model that isn’t available.
  • Added a new skin: Iron Solari Leona. HOWEVER… there seems to be something different about her model file that I don’t totally get. For some reason, I can’t convert it to the right format correctly. I’ll get back to you on that.
  • Added a missing skin: Sandstorm Katarina. Thanks, Helpful User Whose Name I Won’t Disclose for Privacy Reasons!
  • Fixed some bogus numbers that appeared on all Endurance runes.
  • Removed some erroneous Zilean quotes.

Changelog – 2.1.0 (“Corki”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • AT LAST – NEW DEVELOPMENT! The Imp’s “in the store” section just got a bit more awesome. Now, when tapping on a skin, instead of seeing one of my terrible screenshots, you’ll be taken to a new screen where you can actually view, rotate, and zoom the model, straight from the game files! Pro tip: you can do the same thing with the champion’s base skin by tapping on his/her/its price. Is that fun or what?
  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Ziggs’ complete data has been added. Special thanks to Smallfry310 for screenshots.
  • Push notifications about sales will now deep link you into the sales page. ‘Cause that just makes sense.
  • FINALLY fixed the stupid bug that broke the Twitter feed in the “About” section.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the screen to stay black if you resumed the app on the Build Detail screen.
  • Added new items: Locket of the Iron Solari and Zeke’s Herald. Removed Stark’s Fervor.
  • Updated the stats of Emblem of Valor.
  • Updated Morgana so that her passive spell vamp is taken into account when viewing build stats.
  • Updated The Imp with data from the Ziggs patch.
  • Added Ahri’s missing champion spotlight. Oops.
  • Added Jax’s champion spotlight.
  • Updated Sivir’s spotlight to the new one.
  • Added a missing skin: Frost Queen Janna. The poor chick only has 3; we can’t afford to miss any of ’em.
  • Added some of Shyvana’s missing stats. Thanks, helpful user whose name I won’t disclose for privacy reasons!
  • Finally got around to adding the new summoner spell icons. My bad.
  • Added some missing runes. Oops again.
  • Added several missing item codes for the build email feature.

Changelog – 2.0.3 (“Cho’Gath”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Fizz’s data has been added.
  • Removed the summoner spells Fortify and Rally – if you had any builds that used these spells, they’ll no longer be part of the build. Sorry 😦 Talk to Riot, not me.
  • Added the new summoner spell Surge. SURGE!!!! Like that weird energy drink/soda that Coke used to make. Remember that?
  • Updated the masteries to the new season 2 trees. Unfortunately, any builds that relied on the old masteries will no longer have an associated mastery page. There’s just no way to migrate them since the masteries are so different now. Sorry. Hate mail welcome!
  • Updated The Imp with data from the Fizz patch.
  • Added new skins: Amethyst Ashe, Musketeer Twisted Fate, and Temple Jax.
  • Added a screenshot and pricing data for Asylum Shaco.
  • Added Shaco’s champion spotlight.

Changelog – 2.0.1 (“Cho’Gath”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Graves’ data has been added.
  • Added Teemo’s new champion spotlight.
  • Added new skins: Infiltrator Irelia and Superhero Teemo.
  • Added skins from the Harrowing: Bewitching Nidalee, Definitely Not Blitzcrank, FrankenTibbers Annie, and Haunting Nocturne.
  • Updated Xerath’s skins to their remade versions.
  • Updated Blitzcrank’s “Boom Boom” skin to the correct price.
  • Updated The Imp with info from the Graves patch.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the app to crash when navigating backward from the Timers page.
  • Added a temporary workaround for an issue that caused the app to crash when attempting to view a champion spotlight – still looking for a better way. Sorry for the inconvenience 😦

Changelog – 2.0.0 (“Cho’Gath”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • We’re on 2.0.0! Mango has come down from Microsoft on high to grace our phones with its presence, and The Imp is excited about it. Lots of new features incoming!
  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Xerath’s complete data has been added.
  • Builds and champions are now pinnable! You can use the app bar to pin your favorite builds or champions to your Start screen for one-tap access to it. Hope it comes in handy!
  • The Imp is now compatible with fast-app switching – it’ll try to retain its state when you navigate away from it, making it start back up more quickly when you use multitasking to switch back to it. Yayyyyy MANGO!
  • Added several performance improvements now possible with Mango.
  • Fixed a bug that could affect Mango users using the task manager to switch back to The Imp from another app.
  • The application icon for The Imp now has a transparent background so it’ll reflect your theme color better. You can no longer say The Imp is insensitive to your choices. Mostly.
  • Updated a bunch of items to correctly indicate that they aren’t available on Crystal Scar.
  • Updated Anivia, Blitzcrank, and Corki with their new IP price.

Changelog – 1.10.0 (“Cassiopeia”)

Posted on by theimpapp
  • JUNGLE TIMERS ARE IN THE HOUSE! At long last, The Imp goes even further to help you in battle by allowing you to keep track of the respawn times on Baron, Dragon, the buffs, and even sight and vision wards! This is just a first pass, so let me know what you think. Currently, your lock screen will be disabled while you’re on the Timers page – I’ll look into letting them run under the lock screen in a future version.
  • Reorganized the landing page and separated things you browse from “tools” like the mastery page editor, the build editor, and the rune page editor.
  • Changed a bit about how builds and runes work on the landing page. Clicking on the “builds” or “runes” buttons now takes you to the new landing screens for each which show all your builds and rune pages, respectively (similar to the mastery templates screen). Hopefully this helps differentiate things that are browsable (like champions, items, etc.) from things that you create (like rune pages, mastery pages, and so on). If not, well – hey, I never said I was good at this. This also lets you create builds wtihout having to go to the champion page to start, so that’s… something, right?
  • Champion stats ranks are now displayed as bars rather than numerical values. The numerical values were kind of misleading since ties made some champions look better (or worse) than they really were, so I’m using an estimate based on the standard deviation of all champions instead. This way, the approximately same information is communicated but is more precise about how good a champion is in relation to others with respect to an individual stat.
  • Abilities that passively grant stat bonuses (like Akali’s Twin Disciplines and Zilean’s Heightened Learning) are now taken into account on the “stats” screen in the build viewer. Finally, right? Hey, be nice. It’s harder than it looks. Probably.
  • “Mastery Templates” are now called “Mastery Pages” as they are in-game. This was actually because The Imp’s mastery templates actually predated mastery pages in League of Legends. Jus’ sayin’.
  • Fixed a – GASP – GRAMMATICAL ERROR that could occur on the landing pages of champions whose names start with vowels. *Shudder*.
  • Made a few minor UI tweaks to the champion landing page and the mastery template editor for visual consistency.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the displayed values for certain champion stats (health regen and mana regen, specifically) to be shown with incorrect values on the champion landing page.
  • Manaless champions no longer display information about their mana and mana regen on their landing page. Yeah, that made sense.
  • Fixed a bug that made Malice runes appear to be a per-level boost to critical chance (as opposed to a flat bonus, which is what they really are).
  • Added a “done” button to the new filters in the browser dialog to give you another way to dismiss the filters when you’re done. You can also hit the “back” key to dismiss the filters if you’re more into hardware buttons.
  • Updated some of Riven’s numbers in response to the 9/20 game hotfix.
  • Added screenshots for Riven’s skins.
  • Added a screenshot for Kayle’s “Judgment” skin, courtesy of my Chief Content Consultant Smallfry310.
  • Added pricing data for the new Kog’maw, Malzahar, Singed, and Xin Zhao skins (Deep Sea, Overlord, Mad Scientist, and Winged Hussar, respectively).
  • Added Singed’s fancy new champion spotlight.

It’s time… to time.

Jungle time, that is. Incoming for 1.10.0… check it out!

 

The long awaited jungle-timers are nearly ready. There are already a couple of great standalone jungle timer apps on the Marketplace (like “Teemo’s Timers” – search for it now, thank me later) with some great features, and I hate to get anywhere near their turf. But for those of you who are one-app-solution kind of people, The Imp will have you covered.

Both Summoner’s Rift and Twisted Treeline are supported, and if there’s anything that ultimately turns out to be worth timing on Crystal Scar, I’ll add that at a later date.

Anyway, what do you think? Does it look usable?

Keep on Imping on,

Ben

  • A NEW CHAMPION APPROACHES! Riven’s basic data has been added. Riven’s another Xypherous champ, and jeez, am I becoming a fanboy.
