At last: Collections in (Yet Another) Squad Builder

[Conandoodle 1,817]

Sir/Madam,

 

I know I speak for us all when I say that we truly appreciate everything you do for this hobby, and by extension ... us.

We know you don't get a penny for the time you sink into keeping Yet Another Squad Builder alive and more importantly, current.

I have the utmost respect for people like you. People who sit down and say "You know what we need/want ... I'm going to do it!" You could easily sit back and say "It would be cool if we had a squad builder that ...." Nope. You did it, and you crushed it! And with what? Zero incentive but the desire to make a quality, intuitive system .. and score with the dames/dudes.

Honestly, I am not going to give any criticisms of your product because by simply typing some code in to the computing device to create and share a wondrous product you have done much more than I could ever do. Honestly .. honestly .. thank you!

Also, I don't think adding the MF xpac adds 2 Engine Upgrades to your virtual collection. When I try to build a list with 2, the second one goes red and I get the message that I can't field the list.

Whoops, I had the wrong counts of Shield and Engine Upgrades there. Should be fixed now.

I'm still digging into the iOS dropdown behavior. Bah, I knew troubles were comin'...

You're welcome!

What can I say, people like us -- Mu0n, Voidstate, Fab, KillerArdvark, MajorJuggler, GKi, and everyone else I'm to sleepy to remember -- we're a crazy breed. And I think this says a lot about the quality of X-Wing Miniatures that it inspires this sort of creativity.

(Also, definitely not doing this to get the ladies. I'm already happily married to someone who wins more X-Wing tournaments than me... heh)

I've reverted to a previous version of the library that handles the dropdowns.  Hopefully this fixes the problems that have been occurring (dragging, not being able to view a pilot's current stats by tapping).

That's great !

I'm on an ipad and I noticed a couple new bugs.When adding ships, the first three add normally, but the forth and so on makes the keyboard popup as if i tapped an entry field. If I hit the hide keyboard button it drops down and pops back up instantly. Selecting a ship does make the keyboard disappear.

I'm not seeing this one, but maybe I'm doing something differently. What browser, version, etc. are you on, and what are you doing exactly? Are you logged in?

I'm on an ipad2, ios 8, using chrome, not logged in.

[Radarman5 1,347]

Hey, I just checked and all those bugs are gone now. Nice work Geordan!

[perniciousducks 711]

I love you. No really.

[19Seven2 42]

oh and one small thing why would the option of a targeting computer be precentet as an optional modefication to ships that are born with target Lock ???

[Solaufein 296]

It should be an option. Fortunes only know why you would want to, but it is best not to take that agency from the players. At some point there may be a reason to do so, and so there is no reason to eliminate it as an option now.

[geordan 696]

Wasn't there a challenge to make the worst possible legal 100 point list?  Putting Targeting Computer on a ship that already has Target Lock is a great way to waste points

I was hoping you would consider adding the CR90 to the Imperial side, I know there are many people using the Rebel CR90 Corvette in Imperial builds for casual play, even at LFGSs. You currently have messages for unreleased content and epic content that would work just as well for "casual play" content.
For me, it would make it just a little easier to construct lists like this, I'd just swap out the pilot cards:


 

The version we are currently playtesting.
 
DP20 Gunship (Fore) (65)
Mara Jade (3)
Tactician (2)
Gunnery Team (4)
Backup Shield Generator (3)
Single Turbolaser (8)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)
Cluster Missiles (4)
 
DP20 Gunship (Aft) (55)
Rebel Captive (4)
Sensory Team (4)
Engineering Team (3)
Single Turbolaser (8)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)
Quad Laser Cannons (6)
Assault Missiles (5)
 
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
Academy Pilot (12)
 
Total: 210

First off, thanks for generating such an easy to use and accurate squad builder. I use it almost exclusively.

The problem is that the drop down menu for ships in my collection only goes down to the YT-2400. I cannot add the Z-95 to my collection! I am currently on an iPhone 4S, if that helps.

Again thanks for the awesome builder.

Ooh, yeah.  I don't have a 4S but I can see how that could happen.  I'll see what I can do (it's basically about the height of the Collections dialog being taller than the screen real estate).

I use Voidstate's builder but I'll test your ap! Thanks to taking the feedback!
