I've added the cards from the Wave 4 reveal to my builder. I don't have an icon for the TIE Phantom's new action (I'm guessing it's Cloak?), and I don't think even GeckoTH's magicks can tease out the actual graphic for it until we get a spoiled TIE Phantom pilot. Most of the cards are educated guesses after lots of zooming and squinting. I've probably made a typo, introduced a bug, or missed a source expansion or whatever; feedback welcome as always! http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/

I've added the revealed cards from the Rebel Transport expansion. I don't have icons for Energy or the new actions/upgrades (hopefully GeckoTH will update the PSD soon? ), so the UI will be a bit sparse. http://geordanr.github.io/xwing Bug reports and suggestions welcome as always!

Sorry about the delay; apparently the new spoiled cards came out when I was returning from vacation. Added the new pilots from Imperial Aces. German translations not yet available (please contribute them if you have them).http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/

A minor update to my squad builder: you can now get BBCode for your squad for easy pasting into forums. Once your squad is built, click on View As Text and select BBCode at the bottom, and you'll get something that looks like: As usual, comments, bug reports, and suggestions welcome. http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/

Fixed; thanks!

Failgod (from these very forums) has graciously provided German translations for card text and several bits of the UI; if you can read German, please check it out and let me know if it's working! There's a new dropdown at the top that lets you choose between languages, but it will attempt to identify what language you prefer. http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/ Additional UI translation is forthcoming, but hopefully the translated card text will be helpful enough for our German players. As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports welcome; several changes were made to the code to add multi-language support, so it's very likely that bugs have been introduced.

Strange; I haven't had a chance to mess with the code for the last couple of weeks. I'm curious as to what went wrong, but it sounds like a bit of a fluke. I'm glad it's working now! The code is rather heavily baked around displaying and working with only a single squad at a time; displaying and printing multiple squads at once isn't in the cards at the moment. (It's possible but I believe will require an extraordinary amount of work.) I'll look into making the dropdowns show more items. Also, if you're not on a mobile device/tablet and you know the name of the card you want to add, you can type in any substring and the dropdown will only show you the cards that match (e.g. you can type in "squad" into the pilot dropdown to see all the Blah Squadron Pilots).

What in particular makes it difficult to create builds? I'm open to suggestions for making the flow clearer.

+1Haven't 'firebug it' but what about using modrnizr + mediaqueries to target ipad and something like .close{ position:absolute; top:-80px; transform:scale(1.3); } It will be uglier but easier to use. I can take a deeper look if you need some help... Btw, hanks for taking the time to develop it and keep it updated with wave 3 Oh, simply making the X bigger... I can play with that. Totally forgot about Modernizr too; been a while since I looked at that. Thanks!

The header containing the squad name and points should be back in the printed version again. That's part of the Select2 dropdown that I'm using; I'm not sure how to do it differently (and unambiguously). Suggestions welcome.

Whoops. I'll look into that tonight. There's a print button in the View as Text dialog. I'll see about viewing the fancy view in a new tab/window, but that probably won't be for a while (we're approaching a release at work, so my spare coding time is reduced).

That's true. Mechanically, though, it's an involved change, and I'm focusing my next effort on letting people know what expansions (and how many) are required to field a given squad. I'll start thinking about what's required to handle displaying multiple cards at once.

Added. This is a pretty big change; I'm not planning to do changes of that scale to the browser in the near future. And that can get pretty cluttered on small browser windows/low resolutions. The workaround is to open another copy of the builder in a new browser tab. (Ghetto, but oh well.)

Minor update: Some phone UI improvements: shorter text on some buttons, and fancy view is disabled on phone in favor of the simple view. Which browser and version? If you have the option, does checking the "use background images and colors" option or equivalent help?

Thanks! It's easy to respond when you're just one person. Also the code isn't that complicated.

Yeah, that's happening on my phone as well. I'll see about making the button bar more concise on mobile.

Mostly because I was cribbing directly off TheKestrel's design. I could put the text in there but it could get pretty busy/crowded. Otherwise there's no technical reason.

The simple text-based view returns for your cutting and pasting convenience! Click the "Simple View" button in the View as Text dialog to switch modes. Printing is still fancy, though. Expansions providing each card are now listed in the info panel in the main builder (similar to how they are shown in the Card Browser). Card counts to come later. Let me know if there are any bugs.

I'll be working on bringing back the simple text view as an option next. You can see which expansions a card comes from in the Card Browser, but I'll add that in the card info in the main builder as well. Adding the ability to store what expansions you have and limiting what you can select from it is a pretty big change. Would it be sufficient if it displayed what expansions you would need to build a given squad? (Although that can get pretty complicated too, since more than one expansion could possibly contribute a given card.)

New features: New Squad button - clears out the pilots and starts anew Clone Pilot button - creates a copy of the pilot with any non-unique upgrades (does not create a Clone Wars pilot) Let me know if there are any bugs. I've probably added some. Oh, I haven't missed it -- I just haven't found a good picture. I might just take a macro photo of mine and be done with it...

The clear squad button is next on the list (my wife has been asking for that). I think I can do a copy button (not copying any uniques like Squad Leader or titles, of course). Moving to a different method of displaying the ships is a pretty large change; a vast bulk of the code is baked around the functionality that the Select2 dropdown gives, so that's not likely to happen in the near future. It would require an almost complete rewrite, I think. (Although if someone were to make such a pull request on GitHub...) I've gotten other requests like this too. I've been considering making a sort of Tournament Organizer view/print option, similar to the old version of View As Text, maybe more visually like the lists that FFG posts for sample squads for new Waves. Thanks for using the builder and for all the feedback!

http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/ Added the spoiled cards in the Imperial Aces reveal. Hopefully I haven't broken everything; that Royal Guard TIE title forced me to do a bit of overhauling in the back end. Comments/suggestions/bug reports welcome as always.

Well, I've pushed a new version up with a fancier list view/printout, based largely on your design. There are some things I had to remove due to feasibility and visibility (notably, backgrounds on the upgrades). There is a bug on Firefox where a black background appears for some reason behind the page and pilot header bars. Also, the scaling is messed up. CSS gurus, please chime in! Browser printing is a bear. Anyway, let me know what you think! And apologies for any mangling of your design that has occurred. http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/

"Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!"

I was talking about the printed design with a friend, and we tossed around the idea of having spots on the printout to place the actual upgrade and pilot cards, to facilitate set up. Good idea? Bad idea? Should the printout be a replacement for cards? An augment?
