CrouchingMoose Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 @Metalhed The iPad one was pushed out and live. My suggestion would be to download and try playing arround with it and seeing which FAQ version it comes with. @Everyone Unfortuantly, my primary development and app publishing laptop has had an 'accident' in which the screen was cracked well beyond use. I sent the computer to be fixed a while back, finally heard what the price would be to fix it, and decided it would be easier to buy a new laptop when the funds are available since the price to fix the screen is more than the cost of buying the same model new. What this means, however, is that I am currently unable to push out updates for Android or Windows until I can get a replacement setup and working (a task that will take quite a bit of time, since I haven't done this since maybe 9 months ago). I do plan on getting to a point where I can work on this again, but with the holidays coming up, I am not sure how much time I will have to work on this. I will keep you guys updated once I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudgeBlack Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thank you for the update and all the hard work you have put in. Hope the laptop fairy visits soon. (do you have an out port - hdmi? - that you can use another monitor to get by til replacement of is the damage too extensive?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself am an Android developer and may be able to help in the meantime. Is the code on Github somewhere that we (as the community) can help with? Cheers mate!

Scorpion0x17 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Did the iOS update happen? I'm pretty sure my app hasn't updated. (but, is there a way I can check if I have the latest version?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasty Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thought I'd check and see how things are with the whole exploded computer thing. Any update on that, progress made on updating the app with the new and/or corrected info? Hope the technical problems got sorted out for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hoping the computer issues are all sorted. I was wondering, if they are, if you could update the app with the five new Gaining Grounds 2015 Strats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azoxystrobin Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I just wanted to say that this is the best wargaming app I have ever seen. It could be bogged down with moar stuff like pics and all that, but at the moment it does what it's supposed to do, and that's the best thing. Thank you.

Verdeloth Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is it possible to make a option so we can add the stats ourself / take photo of our own stat card and bind it to everymodel we own ? Without upsetting wyrD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniello_s Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Are there any plans with updating this app in nearest future (with few stuff from The Crossroads and then from wave 3)? I'm asking cause this app is so great I can't imagine myself creating crews without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolath Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 So with Wave 3 potentially coming out this summer, has anyone heard from CrouchingMoose? It looks like he hasn't been online since Dec 2014... so I fear he may have moved one leaving us with an amazing, but limited app. I wonder if he might be able to pass on the source code to a willing replacement to carry the torch or at least update the data?

PeregrineFalcon Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've been preferring Malifaux Companion, it has everything updated on a regular basis. Only thing I wish it had was an easy 'screenshot capability'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asrian Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Having used both finally, I prefer this to Companion. It's just more intuitive to me. I just wish it were updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Yeah, I've been using the crew builder on this one and Malistrats for the updated Gaining Grounds Strategies. I tried Malifaux Companion and it seemed to have a lot of functionalities that were a bit awkward and not that useful, I'd say it'll be pretty cool once it's finished though.

Fetid Strumpet Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Well it's a moot point for some as companion only seems to be for android, and not everyone has such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniello_s Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Sadly there is no Malifaux Companion version on Iphone/Ipad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolath Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 So I unpacked the contents of the Android version of the The Breach app and the good news is that all of the model and upgrade data is external to the code in a JSON file. So one could in theory add in all the wave 3 content and then repack the app and then it would have all of the new models, upgrades, and hiring enablers. I assume the iOS app is similarly structured, though I don't have a mac and don't have any experience with how iOS apps work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbazabba1920 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yes, it does appear to be gone. ? looks like I can't delete my outdated iOS version and no updates are in our near future.

Popular Post CrouchingMoose Posted September 2, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry about the lack of updates, but here goes...WARNING, wall of text incoming.First and foremost, I'm sorry for having disappeared with no notice, leaving everyone who liked the app hanging with no notice or update. I could have handled that better, could have passed the code off to other people, or any of several other options that wouldn't have made me look like a giant butt.I sort of fell out of Malifaux about November of last year. Besides having a bunch of crap popping up, it was almost impossible for me to get a game in since it seemed that no one else's schedule was syncing up with mine. I played maybe 1 game since gencon of 2014 in that time, despite trying to get tournaments going and keeping the game afloat in my area. Needless to say, what was once a labor of love working on the app started to turn sour for me and I didn't want work on something that just made me want to play more. This combined with the technical issues I'd been having trying to get the app out there were stressing me out. So much to my dismay, I quit malifaux altogether, but still longed to get more game time in with this. Now, I'm trying to get back inot the game since it seems to have picked back up thanks to the new henchman in the area. On a whim I started looking to see of anything was going on in the area and realize that there were A LOT of people playing in my area again. So once again, I have that itch to play and drive to work on the app once again.So, that all being said where does the app stand. First off, because apple likes to charge a lot of money and the cost to maintain the license to keep an app I was bitter about was coming out of my pocket, I let it lapse. Because of this Apple took it off their store.Secondly, what went wrong with the app the first time arround, and how can we fix it. Primarily, i think we can all agree that updates were the biggest issue. This was hard before, since each version of the app required me to spend all night going through each versions complicated build process and submission. I'm going to fix this by offloading the data side of updates as part of the app. Translated, this means when new models come out or the model definitions get a fix, users can hit a button in the app, which will go download the updated file and work without issues. This makes things easier on me, because I can generate a new data file, and upload it to a central point and have all versions of the app update simultaneously. The other major issue with the app currently, is the data source and how it's consumed. When I originally did it, I felt so smart, but now with the addition or more models like Sammie and the emissaries, the data duplication problem has gotten much worse. So, to fix this I want to revamp the data structure and the library I use to consume it in the app. Basically though, I have to rewrite most of the back end to support this new data structure. Finally, the UI. You may not see it, but the UI is a mess and is hard to maintain, especially if I want to add campaign functionality to the app. So other than graphics, the app is getting a full overhaul.TLDR I'm sorry vanishing with no notice, but I'm back now. The app is all manner of screwed up as is. I'm rewriting from the ground up to make it easier to maintain and have more functionality.PS. I'm going to have a mini codeathon over on saturday. If there is intrest in it, I'd be willing to stream it and chat with people while I'm working on it. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furio Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Welcome back! I'm sure that there's plenty of us that would be willing to make a donation towards the cost of having the app on google play (is there a cost for google?) and itunes! I certainly agree that it shouldn't come out of your pocket. Can't wait to see the new version.. even if it looks the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Welcome Back! I for one loved your app and am delighted you are updating it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sezar Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I'm an IOs user, and I'd sure pay a fee for this great App, which I keep using a lot even now! Thanks for all the awesome and hard work! Edit-- Does this mean there won't be any more IOs updates, nor that the App will not show up again on the AppStore? This is important as than I must be sure to not delete it from my Ipad and Iphone! Edited September 3, 2015 by Sezar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
