Voidestate's Sqn Builder

By GreenSqnPilot, in X-Wing

Apologise if this has been answered but I have tried emailing and no response.

Does anyone know why xwing-builder.co.uk/ keeps crashing? It doesn't appear to be working in the UK or the UAE and my friends in both are reporting issues, so it's not me or my location.

Any ideas? Can this be fixed locally or is the site knackered?

Thanks in advance.

I stopped using it a few weeks ago because of how unstable it has become.

I now only use the one on my phone (pretty good planning for 2.0 I know I am a genius)

I use "Startactics X.W. Squadron Builder" its pretty good. (android... no idea if its on other platforms)

Shame about xwing-builder. but Startactics looks good. is it compatible with Vassal?

Not to sure, it has an option for tabletop simulator.... no idea all the formats vassal takes as i have not used it more then twice.

thanks. will give it a try

YASB is still the best one.

The database is apparently knackered:

I do have some hopes that @voidstate hasn't thrown in the towel on my favorite builder, since as an Epic player I need it for many moons to come.

I would become a Patreon if that would help. . .

I've been using YASB to make squads in the last two weeks, but I prefer the builder from @voidstate.

No updates on FB, no communication. I hope he is ok.

Thanks, all. I like the alternatives you posed. Just wish they worked with Vassal.

Hope Voidestate's ok.

YASB works with vassal. You just copy the contents of the address bar when you're done building the squadron and past that into the vassal spawn dialog box.

I too prefer the UK Squadbuilder. Tried to retrieve a squad out of it last night with no luck. And I can't remember how I built said squad. :-/

yeah, Hope nothing major has happened to Voidestate.

The autospawn dialog in vassal links to the (traditionally working) options which include: YASB, voidstate (used to) and Fabs. You can also use any squad builder (including but not limited to those 3) which export into a XWS format. You copy paste that whole block of text into the autospawn dialog and it works that way too.

Voidstate is ok, he has his own FB page and has been on it recently.

I just want to know if he will be able to, or have the desire to, repair the builder since 2.0 has been announced.
