Tabletop Admiral Feedback/Request Thread

By werdnaegni, in Star Wars: Legion

With the Clone Wars stuff coming, I'm going to have to revamp some things to accommodate the two new factions.

Since I'll be digging into the code again, I figure it's a good time to make some other changes/upgrades/fixes/whatever.

So let me have it! Give me your suggestions, feature requests, etc. As ambitious or as small as you want. I want to grow the tool and make it more useful/used.

Here's a Trello board if you want to see what I have so far and comment there, or just use this thread. Whatever works.

To expand on the organization of it, I would like to see units in both the possible and selected side have a expand/hide feature like with the upgrades, but it works on all corp, SF, support, etc.

Some upgrades continue to be "grayed out" in the builder, and appear red when I add them to a list, even though my collection clearly reflects unit expansions that include those upgrades (mostly Recon Intel and certain grenades). May just be a bug fix, but even adding 1 Recon Intel shows up as "Red" in my list, despite owning 2 Specialist packs, and Frag Grenades, commonly do too, even though I own 2 Pathfinder packs.

Am I interpreting correctly

Ability to hide all corps units, etc on both the selection pane and your current list?

That is correct

I didn't have recon intel in the specialist pack, so I'll change that and just double check the upgrades in general

Cool, should be doable

Thanks!!

My friends and I use Slack for our group texting to talk about Legion and X-Wing stuff. Would you be able to add an easy 'share' function similar to what YASB can do in X-Wing? Basically I'd like to be able to tap the share icon, select Slack, and have it appear in there.

Please and thanks for everything. I think the people who run squad building websites are the most unsung of heroes.

Some way of recovering passwords would be nice.

Also, Removing a unit doesn't seem to update the number used of a given upgrade. For instance, if I have 1 copy Frag Grenades in my collection, add a unit of Stormtroopers, give them Frag Grenades, then Remove the unit, Frag Grenades remain greyed out and turn red if I add them to some other unit, despite the fact that I no longer have a unit with Frag Grenades in my list.

Password recovery is on the to-do list.

That's interesting about removing units. You seem to be correct. I'll add it to the list.

I'll look into that! Not sure what goes into it/if it's compatible with the framework I use, but I imagine it's doable these days without too much hassle.

Can you add a copy squad? I find I build something then want to change out something but lose my original squad if i save it. Example i build a squad with Bistan and Jyn. I like the whole squad and want save it as is. Later i want the same squad but want Pao and Solo instead of Bistan and Jyn. I have to start from scratch or lose my 1st vision of the squad.

Thank you.

Should be doable, yep.

Tabletop Admiral is the best Legion App I've encountered.

Very easy to use. Seems "Fresh". I love it!

My only complaint:

Separate Units based on type when you are building the list:

Commanders:

- Vader

- Palpatine

- Veers

- etc

Corps:

- Stormtroopers

- Snowtroopers

- etc

Thank you for making this!

Thanks for the kind words!

And yeah separating ranks will definitely be high priority.

Use this builder exclusively. Your update time is incredible and appreciated.

2 main complaints - upgrades missing from expansions which you have already addressed.

And having to scroll up all the time to see the cards. Also there is no picture for strict orders.

I'm going to try to improve the mobile scrolling experience. Haven't decided how yet but it's a high priority.

A friend is supposed to get me a photo of strict orders tonight. I just noticed it last night for the first time.

If there are any specific newly announced cards I don't have up, let me know! I thought I got them all but I guess not.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you!

Do you have a github setup for the code? I got some free time in the next month and would love to help out if you're interested!

I appreciate your work! I use your site almost exclusively to make lists.

I would love to see a card matching the unit I click, but right next to the unit. Perhaps a "floating" image that scrolls down to the spot you are on the page, instead of having to click on the card and scroll up to read what it does. (I do this a lot when I forget a specific rule on a card)

Card backs, maybe? when there are more unit rules on the back of the card.

Perhaps a text version of the card under the displayed image? I know you do this on some cards, but we have terrible reception in the store we play in. Sometimes images want to load far slower than text.

Thanks again!

Honestly, my code is a total mess. This was a learning project when I first made it years ago. I wouldn't wish that evil on anyone.

I think I'd like to rework how it works on mobile in general, so yeah that would include a floating image or at least the image showing up by where you clicked.
And I suppose I should list the definitions of the keywords on the card that aren't spelled out on the card itself.
