Voidstate's Squadron Builder - Now in Español, 20% Wider, Exports in More Text Formats and More...

By voidstate, in X-Wing

Hi All

Big news on my X-Wing Squadron Builder is that thanks to the awesome AggieIE, everything can now be translated into Spanish. Click the little select at the bottom right to have a look.

I've also widened the whole interface, partly because Spanish and German phrases tend to be a bit longer than English, and partly because it gives everything a bit more breathing room. Is it too much?

I've also rewritten the popup you see when you go to Share > Forum or email. You can now output your squadron in not just plain text but HTML (for use on these forums) or BB Code (for most other forums). The "copy to clipboard" button is now more reliable, too. And I've changed how squadrons are displayed, so now duplicate pilots are grouped together.

Check out a screenshot here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mv0ncg2m0gnbisg/output_text_dialog.png

I've made the 2 parts of the CR90 connected, so when you add or delete one section, the other gets added or deleted, too.

And I've added yesterday's newly-spoiled scum Firespray pilots, HWK pilots and crew.

Finally, the ability to import and export squadrons is nearly complete (and should be usable in 99% of cases). By gong to share > Another app, you can now take your squadrons from my builder and load them in Fab's or Geordanr's. You should also be able to take squadrons from those builders and load them in mine.

It's taken a lot of discussion and work to open up everyone's data like this but I think it's worth it to give everyone the freedom to move squadrons around. Hopefully some other developers will get in on the act, too, allowing you to integrate your preferred squadron builder with tournament organiser software or other apps.

Thanks for all the hard work!

-ps are you sure the HWK pilots went up? I see the Firesprays but no hawks yet in scum.

Very nice.

I like the wider page myself. It also seems a bit more tablet friendly that way.

Great job !

Thanks - the first squad builder I've found and still my favourite (though I do play with others)

still got that weird bug that allows you to put three EPTs on a green squadron pilot though ......... wonder if I can fool anyone with that ? :)

Oops. Fixed!

Thanks for all the hard work you do... My league and show depends on you!

Thanks Voidstate!

Small point but you're missing the BTL-A4 titles for Y-Wings!

Missing the BTL-A4 title for the REBEL Y-Wings. :)

Great work, I use your squad-builder exclusively and always recommend it to new players.

BTW the Andrassa Title doesnt give you the extra bomb slots yet, and for some reason my scum squads save in the empire tab.

Keep up the good work!

Senior VS, this is one more sorely needed victory on the battlefront of 100% inclusivity! :P

Muchos gracias por su trabajo!

loving the new wider interface.

the Andrasta title currently doesn't work as intended though i'm afraid!

also, the Mandalorian Merc needs an EPT slot, and isnt unique

Coming soon! Retroactively adding titles to all the Y-Wings in every saved squad requires some tricky SQL. :(

Adrasta title is fixed! Still working on the scum squadrons bug...

Fixed!

I've also fixed the A-Wing Test Pilot and rewritten the "Forum or email" button so it doesn't require logging in, and moved to the main menu bar for easier sharing.

Cheers

My squadron builder of choice. Thanks man, looks great!

I also like the export function.

Thanks for the hard work vs!

Thanks for adding it vs. However it seems as though it is only showing up as an option for Rebel crew when in fact it is scum only.
