Status of the Index

By Aahzmandius_Karrde, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hey all, I've been a bit quiet in these parts for a while. Life has kinda been in the way, heavy load at work, moving, getting a house ready to sell, lots of other little things. But I wanted to let folks know that the Index will still continue. I don't see much coding going on, but I think a lot of things are already there and nothing has broken.

Data input is a little stalled. Lords of Nal Hutta is mostly complete. Desperate Allies and the Force and Destiny launch material hasn't started. I have a copy of DA, but funds for FaD material aren't there until that aforementioned house sells. I do have two others that have the ability to input data, and am willing to entertain others. There's also a couple of corrections that have come in via email, I have to admit that that's gone neglected but I expect to be paying attention to it going forward.

As to the future. I know there's complaints that the site is a little slow. That's partially because I'm running it on a T1.micro inside AWS along with other things I host for personal stuff. One of my near term goals is to convert it over to Google Compute engine for automatic scalability. If this paragraph was too technical, it will get faster, move along :)

Lastly I just wanted to give my thanks to the many people who have given me kind words regarding the index, I'm glad that it's such a useful tool to many people in the community.

It's a great help. Thanks for continuing to work on it.

Have you considered writing something that would import the data using the XML files provided by the character generator?

I've not. Since I can't use it on my Mac it doesn't usually enter into my thoughts. It's something I'll look into.

Awesome work mate. Thanks!

I bring up this index nearly any time I sit at the gamin table or answer a question about the game, it's just that useful!

Ditto this. Glad it's still alive.

It’s always loaded on my iPad whenever I’m in a game. Just answers so many questions before they start.
