Ammobunker Newsletter

Hey cool, the latest newsletter for the Ammobunker is out, and they've included a piece about the IG Designer I'm building. Always cool to get a little publicity.

If you're not a member over there it's well worth a visit. I'm a member of a lot of gw related forums but AB is pretty much the only place I post. There's no bitching and petty arguments, no over zealous mods editing your posts before you've even hit submit, and no fething whinging about prices. Just a lot of very talented folks showing off shiny stuff.

And now I sound like an advert so I'm going.

IG Designer

Can't believe I haven't mentioned this in my own blog! I've been working on a uniform/regiment designer tool for the Imperial Guard. There are some great ones out there for many of the other races, but aside from a decidedly limited cadian designer that GW put out many years ago there's nothing for guardsmen.

So I thought I'd fill that gap. There's still plenty to do but here's the current feature list:
 

• 5 pre-created regiments to start your design
• Interchangable elements from all 5 regiments
• Three colour palettes and custom hex code entry
• Saving and loading of designs

Next big thing I'm going to work on is a camo designer. Not entirely sure how it will function yet but I want to make it a free as possible whilst still being save-able (which probably means a range of recolourable precreated patterns).

Would love to hear any feedback. Once the camo tool is done I'm going to promote this around a few other forums and move it to a sort of open beta type phase. If it proves popular enough I'll work out a slick user control system so you won't have the rather clunky url get string method of saving, but we'll have to see.
