Sigil Editor
Regino Meriweather
I read this reddit post that sigil of bursting is busted and doesnt work as advertised. This was posted over 2 years ago. I see a lot of builds dont use the sigil (in preference to renegade runes) but when I make a character using sigil of bursting is a good choice. The thing is the website treats the sigil multiplicatively so 6% increase is actually 6% similarly to how sigil of force works and pretty much every other trait... except bursting sigil. So can someone clear this up. How is the sigil functioning ingame as of right now?
But if you look at and slot in renegade runes it increases condition stat by 7%. So according to that website it does the SAME thing as sigil of bursting in increasing condition rating only rather than increasing dmg by 7% so its equally as bad. I face the choice in my build where I can go either balthazaar runes with bursting or renegade runes with malice and according to the editor bursting does more dmg once I cap out burn duration.
So Ill post 2 builds here to compare. I want more survivability than going full Vipers+renegade runes so opted to sub in 7 pieces of trailblazers. This is the build: Vipers+trailerblazer it uses renegade runes with sigil of malice. Then I saw this build posted in Guardian forum and thought it was something I was looking for too. If you check the tooltip in the build editor it says the carrion build does more burn damage, but the editor treats renegade runes the same way as bursting runes i.e. increase cond stat only and it has been stated many times that renegade multiplicatively increases your cond dmg. So is the editor wrong in regards to how renegade is working? (you can remove the 6th rune in the build and see how it changes condition dmg rating in the editor) So the question here is which of the 2 actually does higher burn dmg? (specifically burn cause the other gearing choices affect power dmg and both builds have maxed out on burn dmg potential anyways)
To further compare the two builds in terms of survivability the carrion build has a high HP pool with low toughness versus lower HP pool but higher toughness of trailblazer. I feel having higher toughness is better for guardian because of the amount of condi cleanse available for the class in mantra of truth and virtues, and it raises effective healing versus non-condition dmg too, which is lowish with mantra of solace.
Another thing in going trailerblazer/viper mix Is I can sub in vipers for extra direct dmg when I feel like it, but can get extra toughness in the carrion build if I sub in dire gear (which doesnt affect the burn dmg it does). I would like to permanently use koi cake because its cheaper but its also possible to not run any vipers gear in the carrion build.
In this case, the Carrion build will put out the higher numbers for Burning specifically, even without the sigil of bursting (and the Viper+Trailblazer having Renegade runes). Where the Viper+trailblazer build pulls ahead is from bleed damage. Viper+Trailblazer will edge out slightly more damage overall, but I would say the Carrion is an excellent budget substitute.
I have to question this one. How come even when im capped on burn damage on my guardian taking legendary lore increases tooltip dmg significantly (im taking ingame tooltip and for tome skills only)? What is happening here? I havent tested it, but also what happens with rangers oppressive superiority and weaver's prowess trait when youre capped duration. Maybe I got to start a new thread for that?
For most, excess duration over 100% still increasing tooltips is a bug. Actual effects are capped at 100% duration increases. From there, any excess duration you have counteracts -condition duration (sorry those breaking 100% boon uptime, you really do get no benefit). Oppresive Superiority and Prowess fall into the majority category.
Legendary Lore is a different story, as it increases the base duration of the skill, not giving bonus duration. This is an important distinction. When you have traits that reference specific skills (such as Legendary Lore or Lingering Curse), they modify the base duration, which condition/boon duration then apply to. I'll use Lingering Curse as an example because I'm more familiar with its numbers.
i use sigil to create ebooks - works fine except i cannot seem to make pageedit to work
in preferences i have to fill in the path to pageedit - wich i find under
/usr/share/applications/pageedit.desktop
However distributing the modified wad without permission is not allowed according to Sigil 2's text file. So you probably have to do these things on your own. Or just use a source port that emulates dos version faithfully.
This is a forum. Do not get upset if it takes a while for replies to show up, especially if you are doing the bare minimum with no understanding of programs. You literally have to go to that menu you pulled up and open the context box. I have shown you a screenshot.
EDIT: I just realized this doesn't fix OP's problem. I appear to be having the same bug, I just put the cart ahead of the horse. In that case, update the editor or someone more knowledgeable than me can fix it.
I have been using Sigil to edit epub (eBook format) files. However, it is excruciatingly slow on Windows and Linux. After doing some research, I found other people are complaining about it too. After doing some research, I discovered that the slowness is due how it was developed.
You may be able to press an HTML editor into doing the job, but you'll definitely want something that can handle a multi-page project, to make sure that cross file links don't get broken and that your CSS stays sane. You'll also want to run the result through FlightCrew (the ePub validator component of Sigil) to make sure your work is valid.
I would suggest checking alternativeto.net. If/when another alternative becomes available that will probably be the fist/easiest place to find something usable. I would subscribe to the RSS feed for that app so you will be notified when something new becomes available. Since I'm not interested in that world I'm just going to point you to a resource you can use to find alternatives on your own.
Sigil was designed to make it easy to create great ebooks using the EPUB format. If you are formatting books for your own use, or you are a professional editor publishing books on multiple platforms, then Sigil is for you. You can use Sigil to format and package your books into an EPUB that looks exactly the way you want it to using an advanced set of features that have made Sigil one of most popular EPUB editors available.
Of course, you can use the Sigil editor to write your e-books. This approach has two disadvantages, however. First, you have to get used to new software, which can hamper your ability to write creatively. Second, the WYSIWYG capability can lead to a plethora of markup that can hinder readability.
That's why creating text using your usual writing tool, such as LibreOffice, is a better idea. Sigil then can take over as a formatting tool for text distinctions, layout, and syntax control. In this phase, you can also add hyperlinks for document references. If you use LibreOffice or OpenOffice, you can also use the Writer2epub [7] plugin for direct conversion to EPUB. Even so, you can still use Sigil to control the results and correct things when necessary. You can preserve your formatting by storing in HTML or, better yet, directly in EPUB.
A number of features that you would expect from a word processor, such as a font size button, are missing from the menus. You have to manipulate these settings directly in the source code (Figure 3), where you have detailed control. The same applies to changing to special fonts. You can set the font across the entire document through Edit Preferences and then Appearance. But be careful: There's no guarantee that all e-book readers will render these fonts cleanly, and fancy fonts can be distracting anyway. Additionally, you need to embed the fonts in the output files, which can inflate e-book file sizes.
Sigil puts the configuration files in your home directory under .local/share/data/sigil-ebook/sigil/. There you can find dictionaries for spell-checking and find-and-replace functions, as well as clip files (in sigil_clips.ini), which you can also modify directly in a text editor. The find-and-replace function also handles regular expressions [8], thus allowing, for example, automatic LaTeX conversion. To save repetitive searches, click Tools Saved Searches, which already includes some predefined example searches.
In the past, publishing a book meant sending it to a publishing house. With Amazon's CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing, you can now publish on your own. This article will guide you through the process.
Ubuntu One is a service from Canonical that lets you access your documents, photos, music, and files everywhere, and it's in every version of Ubuntu. Instead of just "one weird trick" to get the most out of your Ubuntu One account, here's a bunch.
With the WYSIWYG editing feature, you create or edit text the same way you would work in a high-end text editor or word processor. Sigil embeds the required formatting codes, but hides them while you work. A direct code editing mode is available for advanced users.
Sigil is primarily an editing program for content already written in a word processor or text editor. Ideally, you create the content first and then export it to HTML format, which is the basis of the EPUB file format. Then employ Sigil to edit and format it for EPUB distribution.
The EPUB format is a file containing words, images, a table of contents, style sheets and fonts stored together using the common zip format. This format is read by various e-reader devices and easily converts to other formats. Sigil, however, does not convert to other formats. It also only reads text files and HTML files natively.
