Greetings folks,

For those who are impatient - here's the link: Kuat Drive Yards

For the last month or so, I've been working on this little web-based app and it is FINALLY done (though still in Beta as it were). Basically it's a database for fan-made Armada content - it lets you create cards for custom Ships, Squadrons, Objectives, Damage Cards, and Upgrades.

It can also let you print out both Fancy and Printer-friendly version of the cards and dials that you make. For those of you who happen to have a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait, you can download a cutter file that will let you cut out the cards you print with extreme accuracy. Now, the cards that get made are of my own style, so that they are NEVER confused with official cards.

Guests can only view the database.

Users that register can create their own ships / cards and print any cards that are on the site.

I'm going to be inviting a few members of the community to become "Contributors" who can post articles as well as create custom expansions.

Bear in mind that I've only just finished coding this, so it's still in "Beta". If you find any bugs, help a brother out and let me know.

Brilliant work and I like the community aspect you've created for it. Unfortunately it doesn't scale well on the iPhone so I can't play around too much. From what I gather though you're avoiding the official colour schemes?

Oh yeah, no: I don't even want to come close to making it look like the official cards.

And that is totally one thing that I lack when it comes to my web skills: Mobile Devices. And really, the primary point is the printing system anyways.

Great tool! i will have to figure out how to use it

also is the lack of pictures intentional

Yes, sort of.

I don't feel right using graphics that I don't have permission to use. I will probably take some time to start creating some graphics of my own, but that takes time and a lot of effort that I don't necessarily want to expend. I welcome people to submit their own images for their or even other people's designs. (If you notice there is a filter for some of the content categories for "Needs Art" that way, if you want, you can email the maker of a card and say 'here, put this graphic on it').

when i try to create an Upgrade card I get this message:

Fatal error : Call to a member function fetch_assoc() on a non-object in /home/robin43/public_html/kdyards.com/cls/db.php on line 42

Yup - it appears the renderer broke during upload, too - I'm on it.

I signed up. Looking to make a card for my resin super star destroyer.

Wouldn't let me register. Kept telling me I needed a "1 number, 1 letter, 6-20 digit password. I had one.

I had a hard time as well, but it finally let me when i had a cap, 6 letters and 3 #

Noted on both counts - I'll get it fixed in a second - Having to update the back-end renderer at the moment.

Ok, it requires a capital letter and 1 number. FYI, you may want to put that in text somewhere so it isn't a trial. & error process just to sign up.

Looks very cool.cant wait to give it a try.

I foresee lots of wasted time now! Can't wait to try it out!

Welp - I found out what's wrong with the render code... It looks like my web host is running a fairly old distro of linux that doesn't have any of the libraries that my rendering system needs... which is fantastic(!). Alternatives are in the works.

Okay - I think I've got it working now. The Rendering back-end has been fixed and for some reason SQL did NOT like uppercase letters in my table names on the prod server, despite it having no problem on the dev server... oddness.

I also removed the Capital letter restriction on passwords - should work as intended.

Really like it and will definitely spend an office friday afternoon or two to design some own stuff! Thank you for this!

I really enjoy your tool and playing around with it!

Thank you very much for your effort!

Here is my Torpedo Discotheque

Working with it now.

Great tool, looking forward to using it to trial cards for future Shipyards expansions. I see you have already included the Warlords Interdictor and Cargo icons that is really helpful. Currently my only suggestion is having the base templates for ships print with a guide for the base cutout in the center, as I do not see it on the layout currently.

When creating upgrades I get this when saving it below. Although they do save in the index.

Hey Wes,

I will see about it. If it helps any, the bleed is always exactly 1/8th of an inch.

As far as that error? I'm on it.

I cannot seem to duplicate this error. Do you get it every time you create a new upgrade? Does it happen when you save an existing upgrade? Does it happen each and every time or only when you use certain flags?

Ya so far every upgrade. But not the ships.

Very bizzare - I see the line where its throwing a hissy-fit, but it's very odd to me that I don't see it. What browser are you using, that might actually be part of the culprit.
