Hello batboys & girls,

a new version deployed 0.26 which mainly contains new features for Conan, but Batman also benefits from a few corrections from the possibility for bilingual players to choose a secondary language of their preference in order to see the details of the skills in the 2 languages. (Sometimes a wording is clearer in one language, sometimes in the other)

Enjoy

Hello brothers in arms!

a new version of the companion has just been deployed (0.26) with on the menu:

• Encyclopedia: Content of the MBR crossover "Gods of the North" added
• Encyclopedia/Skill: Bilingual people can now display two languages when displaying the details of an item. Usefull because sometimes the wording is better in another language. Choose your secondary language in your preferences. Works only when online.
• Studio: Heroes sheet: You can now select a background color between 3 choices (classic brown, "gods of the north" blue or "corinthia" white).
• Studio: Equipments cards: You set the text size/line height and use spaces and carriage return to arrange the text around the image.
• Studio: You can now import/export as json file to save or share your creations.
• Maps: Legends can now be clicked to scroll to the explaination (usefull on mobile).

Have fun breaking the castle!

I would add that Apple, supposedly to comply with the new European law, has withdrawn support for PWA applications in its latest updates: therefore European iPhones/iPads can no longer use the offline mode of the application: (

Small update (0.25) to correct some problems:

* on PC, the rules pages were no longer on 2 pages side by side

* the yellow die that appears on the cards when you are overhanging interfered with the click

Small update (0.25) to correct some problems:

* on PC, the rules pages were no longer on 2 pages side by side

* the Tome of Skelos had small problems with the images

* Conqueror ship cards had excess black borders

* removed all card rules text that talks about lines of sight, since it is redundant with lines of sight themselves

* the yellow die that appears on the cards when you are overhanging interfered with the click

* correction of the black dragon tile, only one is provided (and not two as indicated before)

After a year and a half of not hard work at all... a new version of the "Batman Companion" is available (0.24)

The news :

• It is now possible to install the companion as a real application that can work offline.
     Installation is done from the Companion website, in the menu.
     Installation is possible on phone, tablet of course but also on computer (unless you visit the site with Firefox).
     Attention! Those who have already installed a previous version of the companion on their phone/tablet home page must remove this shortcut to be able to do a real installation.

The improvements :

• Faster loading by reducing image size via webp
• Faster loading of game rules by embedding images

The corrections :

• Header that disappears from the phone when scrolling
• Improved html5 compatibility

Thanks to everyone's support :), and in particular to the tests from @Roolz, @Renand and @Met

Last but no least, a new url => https://companion.the-overlord.com/Conan

To finish, a technical note, for thoses who really wants to keeps their preferences (for ex, to keep their studio creations)

void((function() { let json = {}; Object.keys(window.localStorage).filter(k => k.startsWith("Conan") || k.startsWith("Batman")).forEach(k => json[k] = window.localStorage[k]); let data = JSON.stringify(json); var file = new Blob([data], {type: "application/json"});     var a = document.createElement("a"), url = URL.createObjectURL(file); a.href = url; a.download = "CompanionPrefs.json"; document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); setTimeout(function() { document.body.removeChild(a); window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url); },0); })())

void((function() {let input = document.createElement("input");input.type = "file";input.onchange=function(){ if(input.files && input.files[0]){ let reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload=function(e){let json = JSON.parse(e.target.result); Object.keys(json).forEach(k => window.localStorage.setItem(k, json[k])); window.document.location.reload(true) }; reader.readAsText(input.files[0]) } }; input.click();})())

Yes. Totally. I often dream of it.

For the moment I'm working on an offline mode ; but this will be the next big feature I'll work on

Great job! It's growing very well. I would suggest the option to load directly in the studio the original material, in example if you would change only the text for a personal translation.

Indeed currently, there is a need for import item per itemp.

Which language would you want to translate to? We already have EN,FR and IT. I can see on the stats that DE or ES would be appreciated...
