MontanaJeff Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Turns out it wasn't too hard to convert the WM builder code to a Malifaux Crew builder. I've got everything working similar to the WM & Hordes builder, just need to get the Resurrectionists, Neverborn and Outcast data entered...maybe get it done tonight but these Bayern Dragon's Breath dark heffs are going down fast....may not be able to type much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totengraber Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Honestly, Jeff, this looks better than what I was planning on doing. I haven't had much time to work on the builder I was going to make, so if someone else wants to do this, please feel free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment I don't know though, I like the layout of your web builders and it looks like you are doing some validation plus including alot more model info than mine. As I've found with WM & H there's room for more than one. Mine probably won't be for everyone. Not sure how much validation I'll do. I would like to include more "model characteristics."

MontanaJeff Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Well, it's done thanks to a healthy dose of OCD and beer...a Malifaux Crew Builder is online. http://www.engineeringcalculator.net/CrewBuilder.html Feel free to submit typos, criticism and bugs...just be kind, this is a hobby project and I was drinking when I wrote it Here's a summary: - Choose a Faction and Encounter Level from the control panel - Add models by clicking the add button - Remove them by clicking the "X" or dragging them out of the Crew Box - Sort models by dragging them up or down in the crew box - Companions are shown in parentheses below the model name - You can Save and Load lists (need to sign in first) - Click the "Show Copy & Past List" then press print to get a nice printout of your list Limitations: - Hobby project...bugs probably exist - No Validation (an exercise left to the user) - Sign in requires: Google, Yahoo, AOL or OpenID account.

Nick Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Awesome job! Looks good, and easy to use! Only one little thing to mention (as far as I looked) in the first sentence is written this: "Use this page to build your next Malifaux Crew" With malifaux crew being a hyperlink. However, this link is directed to the privateer press site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talishko Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thank you, Really good to have a builder. One little bug I found: 'Madame Sybelle (Perdita Ortega)' Is that not supposed to be Seamus? Or is that right?

Zee Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Quick work! Thanks Jeff! Typos: - I see that the FA on the Rotten Belle's is 1, instead of U. - Bete Noirel instead of Bete Noire. - A lot of the names in the Ressurectionist section are done as plurals, whereas singular would be better [Necropunk, Rotten Belle] - Are the Mercs listed at 1 extra SS cost? That should be the case, if not. However, depending on the Master, the cost for Killjoy would change, so I'm kinda curious how that is worked out. Also, the Totems should probably not be FA: U, and probably FA: 1 [except for Vultures and Mosquitoes]. Looks great though! Good job!

goblyn13 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 there's also a couple of problems with the exceptions: 1) Zoraida can hire any model with a WP of 4 or less (this includes papa loco and the gremlins) 2) Hamelin can hire a Ht 1 model (lots o' option) 3) Marcus can hire Any beast at no additional cost (Waldgeist) 4) Leveticus can hire any undead, construct or soulless. Good job on a quick setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on a quick setup. Yeah and as someone else mentioned Nicodem can hire any undead at cost as well. Which means Killjoy at the moment but who knows in the future.

Good job on a quick setup. Most of these things are possible, just not as easy as they could be: You can load a different faction in the control panel and then add the models to an existing crew. So, for the Nicdem/Killjoy example, add Nicodem, switch to the Outcast list then add Killjoy at 11 instead of 12. Some of the items listed will require better auto filtering. But this means that the models would need to be filtered based on Master, not faction. Something to think about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totengraber Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 That is what I was running into. The validation of what is available under a master with weird rules or a minion who could allow other models to be recruited (or had restrictions in a scrap vs. a brawl) was making it such that I couldn't figure out a database design that would answer all the weird (Wyrd?) crew-building rules. Good job, Jeff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaJeff Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Characteristics have been added to the models. I don't have the Johan/M&SU exception in yet. Probably will just a "M&SU" version of Johan at 1 pt less. Obviously this is not the AoI or Tabletop Commander of Malifaux but hopefully it helps a bit with trying out some ideas and saving your lists ;~) Thanks for all the input so far guys!

Nutcase168 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Rusty Alyce needs to be adjusted to 10 SS for non outcast crews due to problem child. Otherwise I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
