Aurora Squad Builder: News and Updates

By VanderLegion, in X-Wing

New OTA update with the spoiled cards from Independent Operations.

I've seen messages fro several people with details for joining the beta. I'll get you guys added soon as I have the free time (and before the next beta version goes out, which will hopefully be soon)

Thanks @VanderLegion ! You're the best :lol:

Thanks for updating so fast! My fav squad builder!

Is it just me or the Lightweight Frame is not available for the TIE SF pilots?

Are you on the beta version? Last beta broke a couple upgrades with ship restrictions. In this case, it's looking for "TIE" and looking for jsut the word tie by itself, as opposed to whether "TIE/SF" includes the word "TIE" in it, should be fixed when the next beta goes out.

Yeah I'm in the beta; no worries, I'll wait for the next version:)

This app is amazing! Where is the best place to send feature requests? It would be amazing if I could print directly from the app or get a link that I can paste into Vassal.

There's a feedback button in the app that can be used to email requests or issues, or the thread here works just fine as well. Or PMs through the forum. Whatever works best for you, I'm easy :P . The ability to print is one I've thought about but haven't put the time into looking into what it will take yet. Might come in the future. A link for vassal is harder since right now there's no web backend, it's all just stored in the app (and Dropbox if you have that enabled). I'm working on creating a full backend for thr app, but that's a long way out still

I sent you a PM. I'm a .NET developer in my day job. Let me know if you want any help :)

Apparently I never posted when 1.2.6 released on April 5th:

Fix a crash that occured if you swiped to show the copy/edit/delete options then tried to scroll the view instead of selecting an option.
Add support for limiting upgrades to multiple factions instead of just a single one (Arc Caster and Pulsed Ray Shield)
Add support for restricting an upgrade to only ships with a specific number of shields (Pulsed Ray Shield)
Add the ability import/export multiple lists at a time in xws format in addition to single lists
Fix some invalid ids for xws import/export
Add support for upgrades to be limited to multiple different ships (from c-roc spoilers)
Change how squadrons are stored. As a result of the change, when changes are made to ships in existing squadrons (such as the recent FAQ nerfs), those changes should be reflected in current squads instead of only newly added ships.
Fix importing/exporting Huge Ships in xws format.
Mark which Salvaged Astromechs are unique.
Add iTunes File Sharing support. This will allow you to copy the saved squadrons file from within iTunes if desired (or transfer a saved squadrons file from elsewhere into the app). One important thing this adds: if you run into a crash on launch situation, instead of losing all squads if you have to delete and reinstall (and don't have dropbox sync enabled), you can now transfer squadrons out and put them back after reinstalling. Or if the issue is with the squadrons themselves, the file can be emailed to me and I can use it to track down the cause of the crash.

Version 1.2.7 released! Fixes several bugs caused by version 1.2.6

Version 1.2.7 yesterday seems to have broken the app for 32 bit iOS devices (iPhone 5/iPad 4 and older). No clue what happened, but I'm looking into it.

I believe I got a fix in place for the crash on launch being seen on 32 bit devices (it's working now on my iPhone 4s, where it crashes on 1.2.7). I submitted a new version to the app store and requested an expedited review, so hopefully it will be available in the next day or two (but at this point, ti's subject to the whims of Apple's review process)

Hi @VanderLegion , great work as always!

Btw Just noticed a small bug where Scavenger crane didn't appear in Boba Fett (and possibly other Scum Firespray pilots)'s illicit slot.

Not launching on iPad2

Shows up for me. Does it appear on other ships for you?

Version 1.2.8 is now available on iOS. The app should work on 32-bit devices again

Found the issue - It's labelled as unique on the app. Scavenger crane is not unique :)

Looking forward to it!

OOT but I was trying to build a list consisting of Dengar and Boba Fett that uses scavenger crane and torps each.

I call it "Solo Haters Club". ;)

If you turn off "Hide Unavailable" you can still build a list with multiple

Hey ever since the last few days whenever I try to load the squadbuilder on my iphone 5 it app crashes and returns my phone to the home screen. App still works fine on my iphone 6. When I uninstall and reinstall the app on my iphone 5 it works for a little but then randomly starts crashing again. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggested fixes? As stated uninstalling and reinstalling is only a temporary solution.

See a few paragraphs out. 1.2.7 had a bug, correction should be coming. I have the same issue on my old ipad so you're not suffering alone. Works fine on my newer model iphone though.
