Destiny Buddy version history

Known issues

• If a deck that has only one card in the deck is exported to a Tabletop Simulator compatible json-file, it won't work properly.

1.10.4

Notes

• Some of the decimal numbers now use a specific formatting when saved. Depending on your local formatting the values can be weird. Once they're changed and saved again they will be fine.

Improvements

• Added http://db.swdrenewedhope.com to the list of card databases to download card information and images from.

Custom set/card creation

• It is now possible to choose what type of cost each die side has from 4 options (resource, indirect damage, discard, shield).
• For the die sides' value the form now allows only values of X or 0-9.
• For the die sides' cost the form now allows only values of 0-9.
• Optimized loading and unloading graphics for the custom cards. This should reduce the memory usage by a big margin if one or more custom set projects have been created.

Proxy creation

• All the different settings should now be saved when closing Destiny Buddy.

Balance holocrons

• Selecting a card in the legal cards list now actually selects it.
• It is now possible to give negative point costs to cards in the holocron.

Bugfixes

• There was a memory leak when creating proxy card pdf files which led to many issues. The following features were cut in order to avoid the memory leak issue:
  • color adjustment options
  • automatic cutting line color selection

1.10.3

Improvements

• Filtering and displaying the cardlist should work faster now.
• It is now possible to choose where the cards.json -file is downloaded from.
• Attempts have been made to make Destiny Buddy more compatible when ran with Wine under Linux.

Deck building

• Deck importing now works from the following sites:
  • swdestinydb.com
  • swdb.coruscant-initiative.org

Proxy creation

• When creating proxies it is now possible to sort the list by name or by the card id.
• Card images and placeholder cards are now centered on the pdf pages.
• Cutting lines are now drawn on the edges of the pages in addition to around the cards.
• Cutting line properties are now saved in the settings.

Balance holocrons

• It is now possible to list cards that are legal despite them not being from any of the legal sets.

1.10.2

Improvements

UI

• The font used in the user interface can now be changed freely.
• Lists with checkboxes can now be checked/unchecked with single clicks.
• Card preview now shows more information when errata for the shown card is found.
  • Added settings options for showing/hiding the errata box in the card preview window.
  • Card preview window now shows a clickable link that can either copy the card's SWDestinyDB-url to the clipboard or attempt opening it. This link can be hidden in the settings.
  • Added a column 'In active decks' that shows how many copies of each listed card is in the decks that have the active status.
  • Added a filter for the 'In active decks' propery.

Deckbuilding

• Format list has been altered (...again. Sorry about the inconvenience.)
  • "Infinite" has been renamed into "ARH Infinite"
  • "Limited Infinite" has been renamed into "FFG Infinite"
  • added "TCI Infinite"
  • "Trilogy" has been renamed into "FFG Trilogy"
• Rearranged the deck management controls. Deck filters are now on a separate tab when viewing the list of different decks.
• Deck editor now has an option to show only the decks that have been edited within the past 30 days.

Custom draft generation

• Draft pack generation now allows including starter cards into the generated packs.
  • Starter cards with a die can be chosen when rare cards are being selected.
  • Starter cards without a die can be chosen when common cards are being selected.
  • When adding additional characters to the packs starter rarity cards cannot be picked.
• It is now possible to create json files for the Tabletop Simulator out of the randomly generated card packs.

Proxy creation

• Cutting line color can now be automatically selected based on the colors in the card image.
• The cutting line thickness can now be changed.
• Proxy die face preview now scales to the size of the form.
  • Proxy die face size and ring width are now saved in the settings.
  • Proxy card and die face sizes can now be adjusted in 0.1mm increments.

Custom set/card creation

• When deploying custom set projects it is now possible to...
  • Overwrite the existing zip-file if one already exists with the same name.
  • Delete old image files from the image folder that match the setcode and card numbers with the cards in the deployed set.
  This should make it easier to update custom sets and to make printable proxies from the custom cards.
• When custom sets are deployed they are loaded automatically so restarting of Destiny Buddy is no longer needed.

Statistics

• Added completion% column for 2+ copies in the set, color and affiliation statistics.
• Statistics now shows the value of missing cards from having 1 or 2 copies of each card.

Bugfixes

• Destiny Buddy should no longer crash if the main form is being closed when the "Would you like to download a new cards.json" -dialog is being shown.
• Cards can now actually be selected in the restricted pairings list in the holocron editor.
• Clicking "Save everything" should no longer cause a crash if there is no custom set open in the custom set editor -form.
• Closing a deck that has unsaved changes in the deck editor now asks if the changes should be saved before the deck is closed.
• When drawing the proxy die sides the 6th die side now uses the card's id-code instead of the card's number for the identification area.
  • For example the identification area of a proxy die for card Master of Pirates in the Redemption-set would have shown "RM 96" in 1.10.1 but will now show "RM 92B" in 1.10.2.
• When exporting the cardlist currently shown in the card browser into a csv-file the contents of tags, generic value, buy value, sell value and notes are now properly exported.
• When adding new cards to a custom set the font size for the new card is now properly set to the maximum font size.
• The "Make automatic backups"-checkbox in the first time quick settings window now actually makes a difference.

1.10.1

• Deck editor now shows how many cards from each set is in the deck.

  • Keep in mind that the evaluations don't involve the card text or possible special abilities. It is possible to adjust those values for each card separately.
  • Even if careful adjustments have been made the evaluations should be used for entertainment purposes only. Great cards can be useless in certain match-ups or positions and cards that are unplayable normally could be really important in the right deck.

Improvements

• Added update automation executable.
• Reworked the holocrons.
  • Due to a more lenient save format the 1.10 is not compatible with holocrons created in 1.09 or earlier versions.
  • Holocrons now contain separate lists for limited and banned cards.

• Added "ARH Standard" to the list of available formats in the deck editor.
• When creating custom cards the size of the font of card's text and flavor test can now be changed.

  • The color and affiliation settings are based on the colors and affiliations of the characters in the deck. Neutral affiliation and gray color are always enabled.

• Deck editor can now filter out decks that do not contain a specific card.
• It is now possible to change the maximum number of cards shown in the text and image card browsers.

Improvements

• Improved the card back drawing when creating printable proxy cards.
  • Old: Card back was drawn once stretched to the determined size.
