Re: Building Heroscape Android app - recommendations!
I recently ran across the following calculation:
- Life Cost = Points / (Figure count * Life) This essentially states what it costs for a single life point across all card figures. I like the idea of being able to sort by this, and thought of adding the following to also be sortable: - Move Cost = Points / (Figure count * Move) - Range Cost = Points / (Figure count * Range) - Attack Cost = Points / (Figure count * Attack) - Defense Cost = Points / (Figure count * Defense) - All Stats Cost = Points / (Figure count * (Life + Move + Range + Attack + Defense)) - Life + Defense Cost = Points / (Figure count * (Life + Defense)) - Move + Range + Attack Cost = Points / (Figure count * (Move + Range + Attack)) Are there any other calculations anyone can think of that can be useful in sorting units that you'd like implemented? @itsbuzzi I will add a section for FAQ's, but I won't be able to add all that in there right away. However, there will still be a link directly to the unit's forum page. I downloaded all the maps you had saved on your drive. I'll eventually post them on here so they can be loaded when needed and not delivered with the app (to save space). That's what I'm also doing with the unit cards. |

And Lifedefense (Life * Defense as a rough measure of survivability) (writing this I notice that it would be difficult to compare heroes and squads with any calculation that includes life points, maybe including figure count as well would be enough) In general, being able to save and categorize armies would be great. Having access to all VC figures without having to enter them myself would be great. Also would like to have links for direct synergies offered and received as in the books. And a randomizer would be cool (like draw X random cards or Y points) for random drafts and things like that. Last edited by Chill; August 16th, 2021 at 01:03 PM. |

Re: Building Heroscape Android app - recommendations!
@Chill
Indeed Live cost always takes into account the figure count. Threat Range is without a doubt the second most interesting metric people sees here. The other ones seems more anecdotal. However its quite more difficult to get automatically because you should take into account special attacks and possibly special powers too. |

As for the FAQ I know you can find it on the site somewhere but I was thinking of breaking it up and adding some type of notes section to the units as that would be the quickest way to find the information. Keep doing what you're doing, but do it better. ~Self Classic Card Scans & Tourney Map Building Requirements Excel Sheet |

Re: HeroSearch - Fan-made Android companion Heroscape app
Hey everyone, I just recently published the fan-made companion app for HeroScape on Google Play. It's called HeroSearch.
You can check it out at this link or search the name on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cor.heroSearch If you want to report bugs or give feedback, you can do so on this discord channel: https://discord.gg/3hGKaz3qZA |

Re: HeroSearch - Fan-made Android companion Heroscape app
I like it a lot! My only question is how I filter out cards by source? I noticed there are C3G, Star Wars, VC, and of course Classic cards all in the same "bucket." I could not figure out how to filter to just VC + Classic.

Thank you, I've been asked this a few times so I think I will make some guide in the future to help out. There are two fields that can help with source: "Development character organization author" and "Universe". The former is for the organization author for the character created for the HeroScape game itself (C3G, CUC, Hasbro, HoSS, Individual, VC – C3V, VC – SoV). The latter is for the original Universe of the character (Marvel, D&D, HeroScape, etc.). If you have both fields included in one search "box", then if either one of them contains the text you typed, the database will return a hit for that character (if your operator is "contains" of course). If you want to have them searched separately, then you can add another search. While it's possible to perform your specific search by creating multiple new searches, each with a "does not contain" operator on the ones you don't want included, that is pretty tedious. Unfortunately, there's no simple way to perform your search, since any new search added is an "AND" search, not "OR". So any text you input will be required for the character to have to be displayed in the list. I'm thinking I can make an option for users to have new searches as either "AND" or "OR", I'm just not sure how I'd display it since it can be confusing to understand. In the meantime, if you go to create a character, the drop-down fields will give you a list of already inserted data within the database (including any data you used to create your own character). They can help you with your searches. |

Re: HeroSearch - Fan-made Android companion Heroscape app
Hi to all, first post on here, even though I lurked for quite some time, love the content!
And to get to the point, I love the app, it's a great idea and really nicely done. I would love a toggle function between C3V, HS and all the rest. And army point totals would be nice, like 495/505 or something like that on the main screen. I really appreciate all the work you put into it! |
