I made a list builder with plenty of sorting, filtering, and searching. And you can select what you own.

When ia-armies went down a month ago, I decided to make a new list builder with more options, both to help the community and to give myself a project for learning web development (if anyone has questions (or suggestions) about that, I'm happy to chat). You can select what you own by hitting 'show packs' in the top right. Sort by name, cost, health, or speed. Search not only card names, but card text and abilities (ex: searching "blast" will show you any card with blast ability). A friend wanted a defense dice filter, so that's there too. A link is also generated as you add to your list, to share that list with people, whether your list is complete or not.

I added the newest spoiled Jabba pack and plan to keep it as up to date as possible, as soon as FFG announces something.

I'm completely open to suggestions, requested features, etc. I'm considering adding a few things, but wanted to get the basics down first, so if you encounter any problems or have any suggestions, fire away.
Thanks for checking it out.

edit: So I made this post 2 days ago and it just got approved...in the meantime I had a friend post it so I could get feedback sooner. I can delete this one if we think that's the right thing to do. The other is in the main forum for IA.

It's very cool.

FYI, Rule by Fear doesn't show an image when selected.

Oh, and Elite Probe Droid appears to be missing from available choices.

Well played sir, works great it seems and looks awesome too.

Those things are both fixed now. Thanks for letting me know!

very cool!

Is there a way to save our lists for future reference?

You can save the link that's generated at the bottom, and that link will always work, but for now there is no account system. Guess you could make yourself a google doc or something with all your lists. I'm working on an account system now though, which will have list saving and collection saving. Kind of a big task (at least for me, being not-so-experienced with web dev stuff), but it's next on the priority list.

Wow, this is great! Thank you so much for doing this! [bookmarked]

I have a couple of minor suggestions that might be helpful if you like them:

--Perhaps consider changing the font on the card list (for both DCs and CCs). It seems to me like it's a bit too thick and blocky, and thus a bit hard to read.

--Perhaps, on the "Printer Friendly" view/page, you could list the Costs to the left of the Names, rather than to the right. It seems like that is normally how people list them in discussions here and elsewhere, and it's also easier to read the Costs when they're all in a single column.

But even without these adjustments, I'll still be using this site. It's very user-friendly and straight-forward. Being able to save my squads is good for me...I have a Favorites folder where I save my squad links.

Thanks for the feedback! You're not the first to mention the font, so I'll look into it some more. It was hard to find something that looked...star-warsy that wasn't fairly blocky, but maybe I can find a nice in-between.

Your second suggestion is an easy change that I have no disagreement with,so I'll do that soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've made the change to the printer friendly screen.

edit: and now I've changed the font. May have to clear your cache for the change to take place though.

Wow, great improvement!

One other suggestion, if you don't mind:

--It would be nice if you could sort the Deployment Cards list and also the Command Cards list by either Cost or Name as well (the way you can with the main list on the left side of the page).

Do you mean the cards you've chosen for your list? That's doable. The logic was that at ~8 deployment cards and 15 command cards, it's not too unmanageable to just have them in alphabetical order, but I guess it can't hurt. I'll add it to the to-do list. I just got knee-deep in the accounts system, so I may put that on the backburner, but it'll come!

Yes, exactly. And you're right, that it's not an insurmountable obstacle. It's just something that would make for a nice change if and when it's possible, that's all.

Thanks for all the time and expertise you put into this!

I suppose I won't make a new thread for this, but you can register now and save what you own.

Saving lists to your account is coming next, and then a list view where you can see others' lists. And then, if you all would find it useful, maybe I'll do a rating system for lists, or just comments or something.

Thanks for checking it out. And feel free to click that patreon link at the bottom if you want to help out with hosting costs.

This is a great list-builder.

A few suggestions that would help my filtering a lot.

Command Cards:

-Any figure (as in those that has the requirement 'any figure'

-Being able to filter 0, 1, 2 and 3 cost and not just a long list.

-Dual requirements showing up, like Leader OR Guardian showing up in both Leader and Guardian.

-Cards with the word Leader, showing up when you filter on leader and not just the ones that requires a Leader. Like Planning showing up in the Leader filter.

Deployment Cards:

-Uniques only.

The builder is fantastic, it just needs to be updated faster (atm it still misses hote)

To complement this, it would be hard to make a smart filter? Startactics for cel has it and it helps a lot, it filters all command cards your team can use based on the traits so it doesn't show the dozens of commands that you'll ignore anyway. It would be the best addition for me.

It has everything that was spoiled from HotE. Make sure you've added that to your owned content and it will show up in the search.

I did, but hote was released 10 days ago, so it should already have everything ;)

I would love some help in getting the HotE cards. I don't own the game anymore and can't afford to buy the releases just to add to the builder, so if anyone can point me to a site that updates with all the stuff once it comes out or anything like that, I'd really appreciate it.

As far as the other suggestions go, a total revamp is on the horizon. I want to re-work the site to use as a portfolio to hopefully get a job doing this, so trust that I do have the intention/motivation, it's all just a matter of time.

Ah, thanks. I'll see what I'm missing tomorrow and get it all added.

Exciting! Know that it is a very good tool!

Heart of the Empire stuff is added now.
