    It's done entirely in JavaScript, except for the backend that saves the data to the database; generating PDFs myself would be pretty rough (and hard on the browser).  Most browsers will print to PDF anyway, so it's redundant to reproduce that functionality.

    I'm working in HTML, so ideally I'd like it in HTML so I can work from it directly.  I had a friend translate the header part with some CSS trickery, so I'm using that as a baseline for how to do the rest.  I don't think I can get every detail of the mockup, but I'll try to evoke the general design.

     

    I'm cutting down on the backgrounds, partially because my precious toner/inkjet cartridges and partially because browsers are notoriously crap at printing backgrounds properly.

    Just something with color and cool graphics added to the stats of the ships.  Like something similar but not a copy of voidstate.  Have you considered any other colors for the backround.  Black is good but it is pretty dark.  Again just suggestions and feedback, thats all.

    My original intent was to have a printout that would be something you could hand to/show a TO and that they would be able to scan over quickly and confirm that you have a valid squad; I didn't want the printed page to be too busy.  More like http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/x-wing/news/wave3/SquadList-2.png for example (I'm planning to try to replicate this format, actually).  But I can look into providing more print verbosity options.  What sort of data do you want to see in the printout?

     

    Originally the webpage background was white but when I added the ship image backgrounds black worked out better (and also because SPAAAAAAACE!).

     

    I liked the idea of printing the cards in 8x10.  If the cards match then they work great as proxies too.

    I've been trying to keep away from using the actual card images, although I could put in card-equivalents with just the numbers and text.  I assume you mean multiple cards on a single page?  Because an 8x10 card would be pretty huge.

    Do you have anything in the works for a more "pretty" print option.  Text is fine but I like a certain few of my squads to look real good so I can hand them out to the opponent before I mop the floor.

    I can certainly update how the printed version looks; what sort of features were you thinking of?

    Monkeypatched.  I don't have an iPad handy, but I tested it on an Android tablet and on an old iPhone 3GS, so hopefully it's actually working.  Let me know if I've broken anything horribly.

     

    I wasn't able to fix the keyboard showing up for the randomizer options selector for which expansions to use.

     

    There's a weird issue with the scrollbars for the mobile dropdown which I suspect is another Select2 bug.  Oh well.

    Geordan, is there a way to make it more tablet friendly in regard to the drop-downs? Currently it pops up the keyboard on pilot selection (and it zooms in) due to the built-in search fields.

    I'd like to get rid of this bug, too, but it's caused by the behavior of the Select2 library I'm using (there's an issue filed for it at https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/issues/1541).  I'll see if I can't monkeypatch it in the meantime.

    i just went to the geordanr website.  youll see it above.  Its good at making squads and its print version isnt the worst

    Looks good. I'll be using that till the Voidstate site is back.

     

     

    Still doesn't have all of Wave 3 on it, but it is a pretty good one. Here is hoping for an update.

     

    What's missing that hasn't already been spoiled?  Let me know and I can update.

     

     

    The most noticeable two: 

    Unspoiled Omicron Shuttle: Omicron Group Pilot; Cost 21; PS 2; Focus, Target Lock

    Unspoiled HWK: Rebel Operative; Cost 16; PS 2; Focus, Target Lock

     

    I have both, so these are legit. Promise! Great site, sir!

     

    Added.  Thanks!

    (And how do you have yours already?  Jealous)

    The ones I know of:

     

    http://fabpsb.free.fr/index.php?lng=en

     

    http://x-wing.voidstate.com/build

     

    http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/

     

    http://home.comcast.net/~jason.fuller/rebels.html

     

    Each have different features but are nice.

    Voidstate and fabpsb both have random generators based on your purchases which is cool.

    Voidstate lets you save you squads if you have a facebook account.

    fabpsb and geordanr has a good expansion/upgrade card list for review which is real helpful.

    jason fuller's prints the actual card faces - but doesn't have wave 3 yet

     

    Just to point out, mine also has a random generator (not based on number of purchases, though), and can save squads using OAuth to Google, Facebook, or Twitter.  Or you can just save direct links.

    I've added more revealed Wave 3 ships based on http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/991279/new-cards-up-for-lambda-and-hwk

    My only complaint is that the plain text output should be a little more friendly to copy+pasting onto forums, etc. without using symbols.

    Added alt attributes to the images; this should make copying and pasting add proper text when there are images (at least in Firefox; current Chrome does not yet support this, but supposedly Chrome Canary does; not yet tested in IE).

    Thanks for the feedback!  Ideas are always welcome.
