Obstacles added to YASB printout

By geordan, in X-Wing

Hi all,

I've added the option to include obstacle silhouettes to the printouts from Yet Another Squad Builder (URL in my sig), so you can circle the ones you're using when you go to a tournament. By default, this option is off.

This is an interim solution while I figure out a way to save the obstacles as part of the squad list (really, a way for you to specify the obstacles that doesn't suck when you're using your phone).

As always, feedback, suggestions, bug reports etc. are welcome.

Could we get better sorting and search options for our list? The interface is getting a little too long to scroll now.

I'll add that to the to-do list -- it's something I've wanted too.

Thanks for the great site. I use it exclusively and really appreciate the hard work that you've put into it. Trying to manually put a squad together would be a pain. I also really appreciated the recent update that made the site much easier to use on my phone.

Um, btw thank you for providing this useful X Wing tool so many of us use.

It would be nice if everyone could just agree on a naming convention for obstacles and start using those. Maybe display the name in the middle of the appropriate silhouette.

I'm thinking something simple like using A1-A6 for the Asteroids and using D1-D6 for the Debris fields. Once the standard is set it would make communicating (and tracking) which obstacles are being used more convenient.

I'd like to go with Fab's suggestion for obstacle naming (which I've proposed to add to the XWS spec for canonicalization): https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/130950-x-wing-list-juggler/page-12#entry1613903

I'd be fine with that even though those are kind of long to use when writing. I just want standard identifiers.

You are too awesome. Not trying to be demanding. But, we LOVE your builder.

Thanks a ton for YASB, Geordan... I can't think of a single day I haven't used it since I found my (obsessive) love for X-Wing and your site! Simple, functional and extremely useful.

Great works !
