[pig]

And I forgot to thanks @pensareadaltro for the italian translation! Always in time, that's a plesaure to work with you!

[pig]

A new minor 0.23 version inluding the follow fixes will be online soon: 

* some mistakes in the encyclopedia 

* adding a yellow die symbol on overhanged areas to be more clear

* the i0S 12 were already not supported but did not an any error message to say so

[jacobjonson]

is there a plan to provide a list of scenarios(under tiles and such like the clickable lists for "what uses this") for where the various figs/characters appear? So in that way we could feature a certain one, we would know where to look. Maybe if allowed they could be clickable to the downloadable scenario.

[pig]

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

I love the companion. Just one thing makes me wonder. What are the „Monolith‘s gifts“ mentioned in the „My game and expansions“ sections?

These are material given as free downloadable pdfs (at the moment, 7 Heroes' sheets).

Thank you :-)

[Morkalg]

I'm jumping on the bandwagon to say, this is brilliant and deeply appreciated. I'm looking forward to offline mode since WiFi where I game sucks. Loving how helpful this is though tracking my collection and resolving line of site.

 

May Crom raise a horn to you!

Hi - absolutely love the app, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting any artwork to load for the custom hero sheets.  So far, only certain .png links will work.  Is there any way to expand what will work on these or allow for direct uploads from my files?  Even a full sample of a working link format might help. Thanks.

[Akiro]

Also: I’ve just noticed that “Leap” is not available under skills.

Works for me.

Random web page, I right-click on the picture and copy image link.

Then I paste link in the Studio, image appears in the preview (here the link is to a jpg):

 

 

 

Use of images from the computer does not work at the moment, but it's in the to-do-list of the next release, as far as I remember.

It is. In the Studio section, scroll down "Skills" menu -> Movement -> Leap.

 

Have you tried to clean your cache and reload the app/website ?

Thank you!!!

Worked perfectly your way.

I was copying the url straight from the page.  Almost never worked.  
 

Sorry about the Leap thing - my scroll wheel had apparently stopped working.  
 

Looking forward to making a lot of custom sheets and tiles. 😎

After a year and a half of not hard work at all... a new version of "Companion of Conan" 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.
• In the encyclopedia, the name of the sculptor of the figurines is displayed (contribution by Dan North)

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
• Studio printing under Firefox
• Board that hide the rules depending on the rotation
• Net equipment text
• Khitai Tower board rule

Thanks to everyone's support :), Dan North's contribution, 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)

Spoiler

Here is the manipulation (only tested on Chrome PC and Android)
1) Go to the french forum here https://the-overlord.com/ 

2) In the address bar of the browser tab, enter "javascript:" + copy/paste the following code (a file will download)

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); })())

3) Go the new Companion (but do not configure anything)
4) In the address bar of the compagnon, enter "javascript:" + copy/paste the following code (a dialog box will open to select the file you downloaded at step 2)

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();})())

I can't say enough about how great this app is. I use it all the time.

[Mr_Phil51]

Proably one of the best apps I have ever used, very smooth work here.

I must be doing something wrong. There is no option to install in the Chrome menu.

Installation is not done from the chrome menu.

 

 

go to https://companion.the-overlord.com/Conan/

click on the three bars menu in the upper left corner of the webpage

click install (this shows you the instructions)

 

to install:

go to https://companion.the-overlord.com/Conan/

in the location bar, click on the icon just to the left of the Star (if you hover over it it should have a tooltip that says "Install companion for conan"

click that icon

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)

[pig]

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: (

Hi, I can't see anything except for a brown background while the Batman app is working

 

Ok I found the problem: it's with Italian language

@pig I love the app and love the update. I wanted to give you a heads up- the Haunter of the Pits has a typo. It says Haunter of the Picts. It has an extra C. It should be Pits, not Picts. I attached its entry in the Tome of Skelos for reference.
