That means you're working on it? That'll be great!

Sorry, no unfortunately not. You can see here what I am working on and the order of the backlog:

https://github.com/Hinny/strange-eons-xwing-plug-in/projects/1

I asked armoredgear7 about permission to do something like this and he said it was OK. He will not give me access to the original templates so this is going to be a big effort for me creating all the necessary graphics for this only using the published pdfs. If anyone would like to help out with creating blank images of all the cards, I can get this done much faster than I otherwise can (and I promise to move it up in the backlog as well...).

Wow! So much work went into this and the result is jaw dropping! Thank you for making such an awesome tool!

I'll be keeping an eye on your "full art promo pilot card" with great interest! Keep up the amazing work! :)

Thanks for the praise!

There might be support for creating custom factions somewhere long down the road (I actually have in in my backlog). Unfortunately don't expect to see this feature next year.

However it is possible to add new factions if you know basic programming and have the necessary blank template images.

Another option is to supply me with blank templates and I can create a customised version just for your need. If the templates is of high enough quality and if others are interested I might even add your faction in the "official" version (with your permission of course).

Awesome! Can you also add support for rule/reference cards?

is that a good card for the pre-made light cruiser?

I don't know if these will be of any help to you or not, but linked above are a handful of photoshop templates for extended and full art pilot and upgrade cards. This guy on reddit has been working on them for a while and if I understand correctly if you can extract a few choice layers from the template it could pretty much remove all art asset work from a chunk of your to-do list.

Hi, I just downloaded Strange Eons and am designing my 1st X-wing customs. Does anyone know how to add a degrees symbol? Is there a way to superscript an "o"?

If not, does anyone know how to add this to the available tags?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

Can you make custom ship base inserts with this program? If so could you describe where I'd find that feature? I would like my HotAC squadron to have their actual callsigns on the base rather than all reading "Rookie Pilot."

Thanks!

Yep, you can. It´´'s packed with nice features like that one.

Yes you can. When you create a pilot card, in the window on the right side where you can see an image of your work, there are tabs. Click on those to see your pilot card front and back and the ship tile/marker. You can export the project as a jpeg and print the card and base tile onto self adhesive paper, cut them out, then stick them to cardstock. I actually stick the pilot card front and back to a spare reference card (which I'm sure you have plenty of) and I stick the printed tile onto a spare base tile if I have one. This makes your custom cards and bases very real looking.

I just have to ask, is there any support for reverse maneuvers on dials yet?

Are there any updates scheduled to release in the near future? If yes, will the new wave be added?

Condition cards maybe?

Hi all,

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I have not updated the plug-in much for a while but it is available on github ( LINK ) and there have been contributions from other members. This includes support for new waves and Conditions cards.

Check out the Wiki ( LINK ) for details on how to download the plug-in etc.

And if you feel up for it, you can even start to contribute yourself.

Thanks. I sent you a PM. I know nothing about working with Strange Eons but I've got some free time and willing to learn.

Thanks for the link to get the latest update. The "Updates" button in the "Toolbox" menu was saying everything I had was up to date. Apparently, it wasn't.

Hi sf1raptor,

Sorry I have missed to add this :(

It is added to the top of the backlog. Can't say when this will be added though since time is a bit of a concern for me right now.

Ok. Take all the time you need.

i'm not exactly familiar with github, but i'm seeing in the issues section content about full-art upgrades. Have those been added in some form?

Is this still being worked on? I really need those reverse maneuvers on dials for a project I'm working on. I would add it myself but having downloaded the github files I'm not sure what file to edit that contains the code for the maneuver dials :/

Where can I find a list of codes to put in <> for Strange Eons? For example elite being <elite>. I'd like a list of all codes for symbols.

The upgrades now have alternative art feature, developed by kalham aar at github. There is a branch for pilot card alt arts that contains some changes but it has not been worked on for a while.

I am not actively developing this plug-in at the moment (spare time goes to other projects) but I can see what I can do next week, I think I can devote some time then.

There are some information if you hover your mouse over the information diamonds below the text field (see red "circles" in the figure below)

Any chance of getting 2.0 format pilot cards, with linked actions and force rating and Regen triangles? I've got some clone wars factions I want to mock up.
