Re: Drydock pre-release

Everything is going great but i cannot figure out how to get the DISPLAY tab to print out side by side, on the same side, of a singe sheet of paper.  All it wants to do it throw it into a PDF that is centered on the page.  This is a massive waste.  I have been through all the options i have in the print screen and nothing.  Maybe i am missing something i can do in the editor so when i look at it to print i can see the ship sheets side by side?

Re: Drydock pre-release

Couple of things...First, just wondering if the Evaporating trait is going to be added to the base Drydock now that Romulan Armada is in the wild and the trait doesn't seem to be a 100% SFU-specific trait. Also, wondering if it would be possible to add the "Ammo" tracker such as for Drone Racks, even if there are no specific rules to cover its inclusion as I personally prefer it for expendables over the launch everything if you want to type of expendables. Obviously I can add an ammo tracker to my designs but I would rather have it built in if possible (because I am lazy, I mean I am very busy). Last but not least, should the Drydock be "Stuck" to the top of the Starmada Forum or in the Files Section?
Thanks,
Erik

Is it possible to store more than 5 ships on the program?

Re: Drydock pre-release

Hello everyone,
Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas.
I am back.   big_smile
I have ordered some copies of the Starmada Unity Rule-book.  I really like what I see and look forward to playing Starmada again.
My nephew & I have begun designing ships.  Also, I plan to bring the game back to Jacksonville and hopefully can restart space gaming up there again.
Will keep everyone posted.
Cheers,
Steven

Re: Drydock pre-release

Is there a version of Drydock Unity that works with LibreOffice?
(I'm not sure if there are different versions of Drydock - if there are, I'm looking for the SFU version.)

Re: Drydock pre-release

I would like to see an OpenOffice version of SFU Drydock as well. It would be nice to be able to convert the SFB ships and play
the SFB scenarios using the Unity rules, for those days when I just want to play a very simple game of SFB.

You could probably make new tabs and copy a blank page over to them. That should work. Alternately, just make multiple copies of the file.

It might be better to do the latter, as the more tabs in a sheet, the more memory it uses.

Re: Drydock pre-release

Hi. Sorry to do this again, but I think there is another bit of errata. For a while I've been confused that some information does not appear on the Drake notation even though the display does show it. However, a bit of playing around might reveal the answer. I'm not that well-versed on Excel equations, but I think the equations, by referencing other cells, end up giving FALSE readings.

A49 equation
Reads:
=IF(DISPLAY!A74<>0,DISPLAY!A74&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D74,TABLES!Z:AA,2))
Think it should read:
=IF(DISPLAY!A66<>0,DISPLAY!A66&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D66,TABLES!Z:AA,2))

A50 equation
Reads:
=IF(DISPLAY!A76<>0,DISPLAY!A76&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D76,TABLES!Z:AA,2))
Think it should read:
=IF(DISPLAY!A68<>0,DISPLAY!A68&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D68,TABLES!Z:AA,2))

A51 equation
Reads:
=IF(DISPLAY!A78<>0,DISPLAY!A78&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D78,TABLES!Z:AA,2))
Think it should read:
=IF(DISPLAY!A70<>0,DISPLAY!A70&": "&VLOOKUP(DISPLAY!D70,TABLES!Z:AA,2))

I did this at home and it did seem to sort the problem out.

Re: Drydock pre-release

A very minor piece of errata...

I was genning some ships for the mini fleet concept and was a bit confused--two ships, which had practically the same values across the board, were returning different DRat values--even when I altered them to be the same across the board.

The sheets Ship1, Ship2, Ship4 and Ship5 all have the same DRat formula:

=ROUNDUP(((C8+Q8)*12/(6-R10)*PRODUCT(N34:N43))+SUM(M34:M43),0)

Ship3 has this DRat formula:

sad(C8+Q8)*12/(6-R10)*PRODUCT(N34:N43))+SUM(M34:M43)

The difference in values is only going to be 1, at most, but that can affect the CRat value too. And I think that, with the 'official' CRat rounding up to the next multiple of 5, that only those ships with CRat values that are already a multiple of 5 are going to be affected.

I'm going to do a quick check-up of my only SUE supplement to make sure none of the ships are affected by this. If there are any (which I hope there isn't) I'll post up the correct CRat values in the thread.

Re: Drydock pre-release

Yay! Sorry I found them after so long, but I haven't been doing pen+paper designs much so I didn't have much opportunity to spot the error until I was playing around with the new setting. I'm pretty much finished on that setting, BTW, but doing the transcribing and entering into drydock here will take a while--I'm thinking close to 250, 300 ships in total--and the worrying thing is--I think there's possibility to add more. Be afraid, be very afraid...:D

Re: Drydock pre-release

There seems to be an error with this current version. 
On ship tab 4, weapons slot 1, secondary function option.  My secondary weapon function has "Dfn; Pnp"
Dfn trait does not show up.  It shows up in tabs 1, 2, 3, and 5 just fine but in ship tab 4 it only shows " ; Pnp"
Anyone else getting this error?

Re: Drydock pre-release

The problem appears to be in cell H15:L15. Change it from this:

=IF(Q15=Q14,"",VLOOKUP(Q15,WEAPONS!A:BA,52))

...to this:

=IF(Q15=Q14,"",VLOOKUP(Q15,WEAPONS!A:BA,53))

I have corrected the issue and uploaded v1.04b.
