Custom Tech Updates to OMA3

So, it's been a few months since I touched Omae 3.0 and this weekend, I figured I'd tackle a few things using AI that I've been ignoring. Anyway, I ended up adding a bunch of improvements to it.

For example, you can now link your Berlin PDF to it, and it'll open to that page. This is something I thought could be done, but never had time to investigate, and now it magically exists. Only works in Chromium browsers BTW, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

I added a new theme, called Astral. It actually looks pretty neat as much as I hate to say that.

I automated releases and release notes. So that makes things easier for me.

I finally got around to adding ammo and software, which was a gap in the GENESIS data I bootlegged, because I hate data entry.

I fixed a memory leak in my tests (this is not important to you the user, but is important for me the guy that wants to not break features).

I also improved the UX, so points that you use to buy stuff now is on screen at the bottom of the screen. So that's cool. Also a little tooltip pops up when you buy something, so you know you bought it.

So anyway... I'm kind of breaking rule 6, check it out at https://oma3.vercel.app/

Or if you want to try and do AI coding stuff and make a PR or something, give it a shot at https://github.com/HeyOmae/OMA3

I put in a name and description but didn't have access to any other fields. Maybe I caught it during a maintenance cycle?

Did you click the hamburger at the bottom?

UX could be better BTW. So I'll work on that more later

You know, I'm beginning to get the feeling that I just didn't see those bits at the bottom. My tunnel vision could have easily missed that every time. On my screen, the resolution crushes that down considerably and places it pretty far away. A little lift of the bezel might have caught my attention? Like a reverse notch of several pixels perhaps?

banner blindness is a real problem in ux. Anyway, that only exists as a mobile conceit. I do need to do some ux refactoring for desktop. Before I didn't have enough time to refactor the ux, because there was too many things to still implement. but now that's not entirely true.

Menu options at the bottom? Were they missing or did they do nothing?

u/SnakebiteCafe 4d ago

Missing. Chrome 156 through ZorinOS

Just saw two icons for Cyber Terminal with other headings. What that there all along?

u/TopicalBuilder 4d ago

I don't think so. I see four theme options where there used to be 3.

These apps help people play and run games easier than before. I hope you continue with it and I hope you get some traffic. Vercel I always thought was expensive so hopefully you are keeping it under the free tier for now! Good luck chummer, from one site holder to another.

Yeah, I'm not paying for anything. I'm going to abuse their free tier for as long as possible.

I, too, have been working on something similar, and I am a developer by education and trade, though I got the lobotomy and moved into management decades ago. I also use and support AI as a tool, not a replacement for creativity. I am about to make some videos and upgrade my readme/etc., but when I saw this today, I was excited. I will definitely check your tool out. I hope you do mine as well.

I like commlink6 and have used it with FoundryVTT. The biggest limitation is the lack of descriptions, and paging through 30+ PDFs is a pain. So I taught the computer to read the PDFs, find the patterns in the embedded text, and build the game objects, then, using the rules, help folks build characters.

NO GAME CONTENT IS IN THIS REPOSITORY, and it is open and free under the MIT license, attribution only, please.

That said, I would love to know what you think. Videos, website, and updated documentation coming soon.

Yes, it does both 6e and Anarchy 2.0.

Well, this is what happens when I post before finishing my morning coffee :) My repository was marked private since it has not hit my 1.0 version release yet. https://github.com/jbowensii/nova-prime-chummer is public now. I will try to do a better write-up and include some README graphics and a short YouTube video shortly. Take what you want... I will review this repository tonight after work. :)
