REMLAB
Web Mech Designer
Overview
REMLAB Web Mech Designer is a fully functional cross-platform web-based BattleMech designer for the tactical board game Battletech. REMLAB is built entirely on HTML, PHP, and JavaScript with Ajax functionality.
REMLAB requires an Apache web server (locally or remotely) with the ability to process PHP 4+ scripts.
Future development ideas
These are some of the features that should be added to REMLAB in the future:
- Additional material from the new Battletech: Total Warfare books.
- Support for other Battletech unit types (Vehicles, Aerospace, etc.)
- Support for SVG graphics in the final record sheet (browser support will dictate this.)
Known issues
This is a list of some of the 'quirks/bugs' that REMLAB has:
- Changing any of the values on the page will refresh the Allocate Weapons list. Thus, clearing all the weapons that were assigned a location.
- The slow response time by the server can be a bit annoying, especially when filling in the armor textboxes.
Reference Material
The books I used for references: The Compendium, Master Rules, Maximum Tech, and Solaris VII.
