It's due to PHP's crappy handling of >32-bit integers, it's fixed now.

My first idea was essentially to colour one side of the border with the rarity colour, and retain the other 3 as quality. I did test this method out and found it to be rather ugly.

One thought I did have recently was to put the initial of the relevant rarity in the bottom left corner of each cell, and colour it with the rarity colour, but I'm not sure if that'd be a particularly elegant or discoverable implementation.

No problem. Hopefully it won't be too much longer until I can add rarity display to TF2B, the message has been passed on to Valve.

In the meantime though, I would love to hear any suggestions as to how I should implement said rarity when it's added.

They're upset they can't sell DBR, and without DBR - they cannot create a monopoly environment, it's as simple as that. Add on their childish reaction - and then backpedaling on their actions. (And believe me, the whole spiel about it being "harder" is bullshit, and I say that as the guy that threw together the match viewer page Cyborgmatt linked)

I don't want to make this a repeat of various threads elsewhere, so I'll wrap it up by saying there was already precedence for Valve's actions in regards client spoofing, and the guy that did so is now a Valve employee. He wasn't a company, just a single dude - and yet he didn't try and spawn a witchhunt. I think this speaks volumes about the character of the people behind Dotabuff.

On topic: This sort of action has been suggested before, and my response has always been the same. It is simply not worth the effort for me to go through every single item and tag them with the relevant rarity. Parsing items_game.txt would be a serious regression in terms of automating TF2B's update process, and removes the entire point of having the API in the first place.

It's in everyone's best interests to push for improvements to the APIs, that way everyone can benefit from the data - rather than specific sites.

Believe me guys, the moment I can add it I will - but it all depends on Valve adding the data to the API.

Item API stuff will probably be on the backburner for them however due to the recent stats drama.

Your profile is now visible, as I said at the beginning of the thread, you just have to wait.

Your profile is neither public on Steam, or according to the API readout on TF2B: http://tf2b.com/tf2/76561198062050140?e=1

It actually seems to be a Cloudflare issue, I've disabled the problem setting which should fix the issue.

No metal counters, no paint splotches, and now the background color/brightness is the same for uncraftable/untradeable items. Is TF2B is devolving into some black/white former shell of itself for the sake of efficency?

I'm all for reducing server load, but who cares about client JS load? Not only are the CPU eating animations (now forced) negating any cycles we might have saved, but we all live in a world with browsers that already eat hundreds of megabytes of memory and hit the cpu fairly hard.

I use TF2B because it is the best at displaying my gorgeous backpack. It doesn't seem like that'll be the case for long, and the trading sites we all use can display backpacks as well.

I've raised the uncraftable tint to differentiate them, the value for non tradables was raised as the old one was a kick in the teeth.

As far as your second paragraph goes, the paint dot change has nothing to do with JS load; rather it impacts memory usage and HTTP request overhead. The latter of the two being the most significant as it impacts both client and server.

On the animations, any modern browser will have a working GPU acceleration implementation than renders such gloss trivially, especially as the animations are provided via CSS rather than crufty JS frameworks.

If you have constructive criticism of the paint dots I'd love to hear it. (Really) I've pushed numerous tweaks to their design since they were originally implemented; if there is a specific component of the design that is a problem I can look into finding a solution, but if all you're going to do is tell me they "suck" with no reasoning other than "I liked the splats better", then there is absolutely zero reason for me to pay attention or care about your opinion.

Mhhhhh.... Maybe you can use a "base" (white?) color splash and add the color with a php script?
(BTW: The Item preview still uses the old paint icon Example[tf2b.com])

That would be even more inefficient, and would introduce a dependancy on GD/ImageMagick. It's just not worth it for what is essentially just a cosmetic preference.
