X-wing 2nd Edition plug-in for Strange Eons

By Hinnyboy, in X-Wing

I'm also having font problems. I don't know whether this is relevant, but when I click 'open plug-in folder' in the toolbox menu, it just goes to my Documents folder instead of the actual plug-in folder. The old plug-in does seem to open the right folder. I know nothing about programming but could it be looking in the wrong place for the font?

I have been waiting with baited breath for you to release this Hinnyboy, thank you!

One issue I've noticed so far is that the Auzituck gunship has the G1-A starfighter icon assigned to it.

Any thoughts on the ability to add custom stat icons or custom action icons?

Thanks!

Fixed auzituck issue.

Yes I have thought about custom action icons. It in the backlog already ( https://github.com/Hinny/strange-eons-xwing2/projects/1?fullscreen=true ), but it will take a good while before I will start implementing this. Any one interested can give it a go, though.

If I'm homebrewing cards, it would be nice to have all the info in one place.

After all, if I decide to nerf/buff, I have the file!!

In all cases, thanks for your hard work, @Hinnyboy .

Thanks!

Points and upgrade slots is also an item in the backlog. See above.

Yeah, that sounds strange. I don't get this behavior on my machine. If you just click "open plug-in folder" without selecting anything first. Do you see the Xwing2.seext file there?

Yes, it's there. It only goes to the wrong folder when I select X-Wing 2nd ed.

Awesome, thank you so much- this will make creating my Ugly cards so much easier!

OK, I tried everything here. Uninstalled Strange Eons (removing everything) and installed only the xwing 2nd ed plugin and still the new icons are not showing . :(

EDIT: curiously, the new symbols of the font are working elsewhere... ?

The settings you made that allow for custom factions are incredible. Very well done, the results already surpass my expectations.

I deleted my X-Wings Symbols fonts from my font book and, sure enough, it works. Thanks!

Just stopping by to say thank you, love you, the plugin is fantastic ?

It didn't work here. :(

I'm sure you saw the Clone Wars news already, but just wanted to point out in case you missed it:

  • purple actions
  • limited pilots (i.e. vulture droids with two bullets next to their name; can only take 2 in a list)

LOL.

My brother made a character generation program for GURPS, and whenever people complained about a bug in their character, his response was "Kragar works!" (His character.}

Thanks for the memories!! :lol:

downloaded the plugin and having working 100% correctly.

there is hope here to get the plugin for the upgrade cards. Can you confirm it as a WIP?

I'm with you there, gleeful anticipation as well. : )

Great work! Been waiting for this.

New version with the option to display upgrade bar and point cost directly on the pilot card. I had to remove the lower "panel" to make room without complicating things too much. I hope you enjoy it!

Sorry to hear it! I am almost certain you have some old leftover font on your computer somewhere, otherwise how can it know which glyphs are old and which are new? Maybe see if you find something on the internet regarding duplicate fonts or using software to find the rogue font (like fontDoctor). I had a simular issue when developing the first edition plug-in on Linux. Never found a solution though -- I know too little about font registration etc.

I will try to involve the strange eons dev comunity and see if they know how to make two versions of the same font coexist. It won't solve your problem though.

Thanks! Yes I noticed that too. They are now added to the backlog. I guess we can get a head start implementing these before the actual release. They are both suitable for first time contributions, if anyone wants to give it a try! :)

Not started yet on Upgrade cards unfortunately, though I expect it to take considerably less time then Pilot cards.

Hinnyboy, you are the man! That upgrade/point cost makes my Uglies perfect- thank you so much!

Unfortunate that I had already created all of them and they won't just port over with the new bar, but I'm ok with doing some more work to get it done.

What do you mean by "they won't just port over"? What error do you get? It should be backwards compatible, otherwise I made a mistake.

I tried to update my Uglies to add in the upgrade/points costs, but the new bar showing them wouldn't show up. No error, it just didn't work. But it was easy enough to redo them.

OK, I have also tried it on cards from old versions but it works for me (I seem to say that a lot :) ). If you have an old card still, would you mind upload it somewhere so I can take a look on it and see why it did not work?
