Hi there! Haven't been on here in years and only just got back into Heroclix since I really couldn't find anyone to play with. Love the program (Avengers vs. X-Men's #003 Thor says his range is 7, but it's actually supposed to be 8) and was wondering if anyone on here still uses it. I'm just looking for some casual games to get me back into the swing of things only using characters I own. Thanks!
Lost in time. I can only update the existing .bin files with new characters. Dude who wrote the source never shared it and vanished with no trace many many years ago. Decompiling efforts all failed.
I'm sure you already though about it but..how about rewriting a new app from scratch? with support for pictures and other improvements?
it should be compatible with the actual characters listing, so you don't have to create everything from scratch

If I didn't have a busy job and two little kids I might have tried this myself... it's hard enough for me to keep the dial entry going! Would love for someone to try... actually at least two people have but there's no follow-through.

sorry about that, yeah i understand that, of course real life has priority over everything else.. i was just curious if its something that can be done, as in " its feasible"
completely writing something like this from scratch would not be a small undertaking.
is there any source code or place i can see the progress of the people who tried to reverse engineer/get this up and running before? i would definitely be interested in taking a peek.
But I could write at least a collection management app and grow into online play with stat tracking in Java. The main pain is all the data entry and writing the server software to accompanying it. Open sourcing the project would help with all of that.
But, if we could convince HCRealms to setup a RESTful API to let us get our collection data and the maps they're already managing it would be easier. And would address the adoption and promotion problem as such a project would get immediate buy in from the existing community.
We could even add in the same ads as on the current site so they continue to get funding. A donation could be built in to go to HCRealms too. So could contribute and remove ads. Pretty standard model for similar companion apps.
Thoughts to put together a formal proposal to HCRealms?
Mine's a web app that would run in the browser. Super simple. Simulates the tableTop game (sans any rules implementations - just replicates the game board, pieces, dials, etc. - Oh! and allows for multiplayer functionality, although that part is a bit insecure - looking to upgrade to a node.js implementation in the future).
Code is horrible I'll admit (I'm a CE writing JavaScript), but it gets the job done. Pulls data directly from HCrealms as if you are searching the figs on the site in the units section, but it does it all behind the scenes so the user can have a decent UX. Haven't made it public cause I'm not sure if linking to images on Hcrealms.com violates any copyrights or not.
HCRealms, if you're listening, would it be okay for me to display images with src attributes from your site on my site pretty please? I'm sure all the members here would appreciate it. Or, if the details are complicated, I'd be happy to open a dialog.
