DnD 4e Compendium 0.4.6

The latest version of the DnD 4e Compendium for webOS has been released!


New features
  • Types without search results are no longer displayed in the basic search results.
  • Filtered searches. When the app starts, it will spend a couple of seconds loading the filters, then move to the main search scene. If you select a Type, the filters for that type will then appear below. Filtered searches do not require any query text.
  • Results which have a level value (including monsters, traps and items) now display their level instead of the sourcebook they're in. Everything else still displays the sourcebook.
I've also updated the icon to use a new colour scheme.

Known issues
  • Some filters don't currently have all options - cost and XP values are missing (see below).
  • The filter options don't always load properly. If your filter selectors only contain an "All" option, close the app and open it again, and they should load.
  • The filter loading sometimes causes lag on the search entry scene. It shouldn't impact the searches themselves, but the interface might be unresponsive for a couple of seconds after it loads.
  • Searches can cause hangs if there are a large number of results. Be as specific as possible when searching to avoid this - search titles only, or use the filters to narrow down the results. Don't try to get a list of every power, item or monster.

Upcoming features
The priority for the next release will be the XP and Cost filters for the types that require them. Most of the code is there to support it, but I've got to do some work to figure out the best way to get them into the UI.


If there are any other features you'd like to see, let me know and I'll do what I can to include them.
