  8. Malifaux Companion Beta - Android App

    in Malifaux Discussion

    Posted

    There's some good features here! 

     

    Couple issues is I can't see a way to load a saved crew from the Crew Builder screen, I have to go to the Encounter screen and select Crew1 or 2 from a drop down.  The ability to save more than 2 crews would be nice, while being able to load any saved crew into the Crew 1 and Crew 2 slots of a particular encounter.

     

    I can't seem to save a crew as Crew 2; the crew I saved to Crew 1 keeps coming up whether I select Crew 1 or Crew 2.

     

    Encounter section is great, love the ability to tally up the score as you go.  it'd be nice to be able to toggle each scheme as "Selected" or "Hidden/Revealed" for each player.

    Sorry for the blurry photos... couldn't get screenshots working on my phone so I just took pictures with a webcam.  Here's a few suggestions/requests for better usability.  Sorry if any of this has been covered already.  A lot of these are "in my opinion" of course.   ;)

    1- Add more navigation options.  

    Replace "Back" with a menu icon such as small-tiles-72.png

    Add "Previous" and "Next" buttons to navigate directly from page to page, for example from Crew Creator to Strats & Schemes without going back to the main menu.  Making it possible to swipe the screen left or right would also be a great touch!

     

    2- This is a lot of screen real estate for the page heading.  

     

    3- These two menus are used the most of all of them while building a crew.  Having them at the bottom is okay in the computer version as they generally don't disappear from view, but after adding a couple of models these constantly disappear and you end up having to scroll down after adding each model.  

     

    I think moving the menus to the top would be ideal, or as an alternative have the program auto-scroll down after adding a model to the list so that these menus don't disappear from view.  

     

    Another pet-peeve of mine is that models are always added to the list in alphabetical order; sometimes I like to organize my crew list in different ways, such as most expensive to least.  Personally I'd rather the new model just gets added to the end of the list, and make it possible to reorder the list after the fact.

    1- As I suggested in the last post, these icons could be moved next to the appropriate header to save on screen real estate.  

     

    2- We generally don't need to see the deployment map after setup, so it should have a heading with a "+/-" button to show/hide it like the strategy and schemes.

     

     

    If the top bar is designated as a navigation bar as I suggested then the Generate button would need to move, perhaps next to the Strategy and Schemes heading (which is again a bit large I think).  It might be a good idea to have a confirmation request after clicking Generate in case you've clicked it by accident ("Are you sure you want to generate new S&S?  Y/N").  

     

    Also, it should be possible to select the deployment/strat/schemes as its quite possible both players would want to use this app on their own device and have that information at their fingertips but without that ability only one player can use the app for strategy and schemes.

    Rather than having all flips in a row, I'd prefer to see the flips next to the heading they are drawn for. E.g. the headings would appear as:

    Deployment - [ :crow ]

    ---text---

    Strategy - [ :mask   ]

    ---text---  

    Schemes - [6 :crow ​  4 :tome  ]
    ---text---

  16. What to get after / in addition to the Nicodem boxset

    in The Resurrectionists

    Posted

    I'd agree with the Seamus box as a good first add, and I'd add that McMourning's box is probably a close second.  Playing Nicodem, I almost never leave home without at least one Rotten Belle (and 2 isn't uncommon, nevermind possibly summoning more) but the Flesh Construct and Nurse you get in McMournings box will see good use as well.  I think there's other resurrectionist models I'd pick up before going into Yan Lo's box set, just depends on your budget really.

  21. New forum bugs

    ANyone else having problems with messaging other people? Seems to be working only when the addressee is online as I keep getting "The member ......................... cannot receive any new messages"

    I tried to message you and got the error "Oops! Something went wrong!

     

    [#10274]

    You already have the maximum number of messages that you are allowed to store. In order to send a new message, you must delete some existing messages."

  22. New forum bugs

    in Wyrd Board Help and Code of Conduct

    Posted

    I've been browsing the new forum on the default internet browser for Android v4.1.1 and while reading a thread for a minute or two the browser crashes. It's happened a few times on different threads.  

     

    I've also had problems with some of the post formatting buttons in internet explorer, i.e. can't select text and change font size or color (the selection is cancelled so that no text is selected), and trying to add a url with the link button freezes the page (can't create a link, can't cancel the pop-up, basically have to refresh the page and start the post over).  I don't have these issues in chrome.
