Francisco, a few ideas for you to ponder...

[Darth-Grimm]

Let me open by thanking you for all your hard work and dedication with making this deckbuilder the amazing tool that it is. I don't know what I'd do without this resource. I just had a couple of ideas in mind that might make this special tool even more useful...

Many players are experimenting with a 40/40 format to mix things up a bit and keep it interesting. This might be a format to offer when building. Another one might be what we call Outer Rim rules at our local. This is where you can have heroes and villains on the same team, similar to a draft format. It would be nice to be able to do that on here as well.

One of the things I find myself looking for when building a team or adding dice upgrade or supports is what die sides does that die have? Say I'm looking specifically for dice that have special sides. There doesn't seem to be a way to search for that save for going through each card one by one. A quick listing of die sides and way to sort by that would be a huge resource.

I know many of the online Destiny singles sellers are starting to vanish now that the game is over but there are still a handful out there. I figured it would be amazing to build a deck, test it out in TTS, decide I like it and then put it together with actual cards for local or webcam play. What if I don't have all the cards though? Wouldn't it be great if there was a "purchase cards" option after building a deck that would bring you to the shopping cart of an online seller with all those cards and quantities already loaded into it? Of course you could edit it as need be but talk about convenience! If you're interested I could easily get in touch with some good sellers. Maybe they could even sponsor your site or offer you a kick-back and put some money in your pocket for all your hard work.

I am currently having one weird issue. I can edit my decks on my phone and on my personal laptop but on my new machine at work I am not able to do so. We just got computers and no matter what I try the lists of cards do not show up when making a new deck or editing an old one. I've tried in both Chrome and Edge. It's the weirdest thing and damned frustrating!

Anyway, hope you are doing well and thank you once again!

I can comment on a few of these:
First up, 4040 is available for publishing decks. Just add the ARH card Death of CT-4040 to your decklist and you can publish a 40 point, 40 card decklist.
For hero and villain together, that would be relatively easy to implement in a similar way - a plot could be added that lets you use hero and villain cards, much like Temporary Truce does, and working like Death of CT-4040. However, unless this format gains wider acceptance, it might be tricky to have a case for putting it on the db. Perhaps float the idea on the ARH discord and see if people like the idea. If there's enough support, I can put the work in to get this up as a plot much like the CT-4040 plot.
Searching for dice sides is a shame you can't do it here, and I have literally no idea how that might be implemented. If you want to search for die sides, you can check out my resource here:

At the bottom is a link to a spreadsheet of all data, which you can filter/search.
Providing links to sellers is a nice idea, but would be really tricky to link cards directly to sellers. You'd need to individually create hyperlinks in each card to each seller's page. You could of course link to sellers directly from the homepage. That one is on Paco - if he wants to do so, cool.
Regarding your last issue - I think that's going to be nigh on impossible to debug unless you can work out what's going on yourself. As you say, it's working on your phone and personal laptop, so it sounds like a problem with your work computer. Perhaps your work firewall is blocking the data?

Mark, thank you so much for getting back to me on these issues. I've been so busy with work and prepping this huge event my fiance and I are running this weekend at a Drive In that I haven't had time to reply til now. It's been so long since I posted all these issues I really had to think back to what they were.I saw the Death of CT-4040 show up soon after that post so that solved that issue right away. I figured out how to just make various sets of 6 droids in TTS and save them so they can be at the ready. What I've been doing for our Outer Rim format with heroes and villains on the same team is to build 2 mini decks, bring them into TTS and shuffle them together. It's a little difficult to build that way on the DB but it works. I doubt there would me much interest in that for the most part. I could talk to Trey from Kingwood Hobbies about offering a service for people who send him their SWDB decklist and he puts the quote together for them. That could be a lot of work to do manually so I would imagine there would be a service fee. I did just get him to add a wish list to his site as his shopping cart does not saves cookies for very long and if you don't order soon all your items get wiped. He's lost a lot of my orders that way.Ill check out the link you sent me for dice sides. That's gonna come in super handy! Like when building a Jabba deck that needs double special sides on all the dice to really fire.All the best my friend and thanks again!"Jimmy the TANK, larger than life and twice as ugly!" -------- Original message --------From: Mark Logie ***@***.***> Date: 5/14/21 10:25 AM (GMT-05:00) To: fafranco82/swdestinydb ***@***.***> Cc: Darth-Grimm ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [fafranco82/swdestinydb] Francisco, a few ideas for you to ponder...
