Tabletop Admiral list building site

Great website!

It could be a good idea if you could export the created army to TTS (TableTop Simulator) for example, just an idea.. :-)

I'll be happy to, just need to know what format it needs to be and all that good stuff.

Added a counter for each unit rank. It'll be red for the respective rank if you don't have enough/have too much.

Also made it so you can't add more than one of a unique unit.

[werdnaegni 1,563]

Also added a "latest lists" page. Will obviously be pretty scarce for now, but anyway, http://tabletopadmiral.com/legion/latestlists/1

[werdnaegni 1,563]

A little floating bit of text comes up when you add a unit now, mostly for mobile users, so you know it worked when you hit the "add" button.

Fixed a typo in the code that was showing Dark Side upgrades for Light Side units.

May I ask what scripting language you have used to make this? I am currently learning JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

Once I get the theory down I wanted to make an armylist builder (both for 40K as SW:L) for practice. Not trying to compete, more hoping to learn from you if you are open for it

Thinking about it, if possible, could I help you with the coding (assuming JavaScript, HTML and CSS will be sufficient)?

The page functionality is all JavaScript with like one line of JQuery for the floating text.

The layout is just bootstrap to make it mobile responsive, and mostly just plain old CSS otherwise.

The back end is Django (Python) and an SQLite database. (I basically send all the data to the page and put it in JSON format, and that's the end of the python for the most part)

I'd be happy to answer any other questions, or just PM me when you come across something in the future. I'm far from an expert though. I just taught myself (with plenty of online resources), and the IA builder was a learning project (which I eventually redid as I learned more). I definitely recommended getting JavaScript down really well.

I'm not sure I'd 100% recommend Django, since it doesn't really play nicely with Angular afaik, and that's the "big thing" especially if you're trying to get a job (that and react and sometimes Vue).

As far as helping me out, I'd be down, but A. I don't really know what I'd ask for help with. B. This is kind of a resume project, so I'm not sure I'd want to give up being the sole creator, and C. My code is kind of messy, as I was learning as I went. I think acquainting you with it would be more time consuming than any time saved with your help.

But again, I'd be happy to talk to you about this stuff in general and point you in the right direction here or there as much as I can (keeping in mind I don't do this professionally, so grain of salt with everything I say...all I can do is share my experience)

Thanks @werdnaegni, I still need to learn a lot so maybe I'll also start from scratch so I can understand the end2end process of building a webapp. 

Thanks for your openmindness tho!

Added Weiss and the 3 weapons spoiled in the new AT-ST article

[werdnaegni 1,563]

Added stuff from the T-47 article. Should I post here when I update or just in the announcement thread? I don't know. Whatever. Here it is. Like 9 hours late.

I would post here, if you post in a news article thread it could get quickly buried beneath all the comments as people are excited to discuss the new stuff.

Hi! Tieren here, the creator of the TTS mod. yup there’s plans to do a list spawner that parses a text form if an army list to auto spawn the models. I’m holding off on that until we get the full rules first for army creation  so I won’t have to recode it ffg changes the rules for army creation or sth (they changed the morale rules from what they said in interviews)

Sounds good. Just let me know when you know and I'll implement whatever is needed.

[werdnaegni 1,563]

Added Impact Grenades and replaced the old HH-12 image with the new clean one.

Edit: and concussion grenades image is replaced with the new pretty one.

Added the Leia pack, leia unit, coordinated bombardment, and assigned esteemed leader and commanding presence to that pack in addition to Veers' pack.

edit: I missed the fleet troopers article. That stuff is added now too, and the upgrade cards I could see have been applied to it (for the Database page purposes)

Made it so you can't duplicate unique units, and can't add unique upgrades you've already added to another unit.

I made this Paypal tip jar link for those who would like to give some one-time support and don't want to commit to Patreon: 

http://paypal.me/tabletopadmiral

Many thanks to those who are already supporting. I really appreciate it.

[werdnaegni 1,563]

Replaced images with the cleaner ones from the new article. Might have to clear your cache for it to take effect.

Just passed 1500 users. Hoo boy!

Wish I had any money at all to support you, even if I never get into Legion. Thanks so much for doing this. It's a great service to the community!

No sweat, glad it's useful either way.

I added a "Print View" button to give you a more printer friendly display of your list. It's not amazing, but I'll tweak it as I get feedback.

Also made it so definitions of keywords from your attacks are displayed under the unit card image, so you don't have to look them up or anything. Let me know how you feel about that change. I can remove it if you think it's unnecessary space-wasting.

Print view is just showing a black screen for me.

 

Edit: Using Google Chrome, and have cleared Cache data, no change.

This might be a dumb question, but you do have units in your list, right?
