I've been setting about making an ID for Short Sliders using the new (WIP) version of the applet, and running into some roadblocks. Alot of it, I think, is my lack of understanding, though some may be weaknesses in the system. (And some of it pertains more to information on the Interactive Diagrams page; I'm just putting everyting here.)
Are morph variables limited to one character? When I set (for example) the Jackal's promotion to the Bongo, the system changes the Bo to B. (replaces the o with a period). I'd really rather not have to rework all the symbols.
After a long period of selecting all the pieces, I saved the setup to come back and build the Capture Matrix later. It won't let me do that! I can load it, but I can't do anything with the Capture Matrix. (I'd build the Capture Matrix manually, but there's no demonstration of what that should look like.)
Possibly more something for Fergus: Using the Showpiece tool, some of the pieces don't recolor for black, none of the compound images render, and (oddest of all) the Hospitaller comes up as a blank.
Not really a problem, but in the end does it matter what order the pieces are (discounting Pawns at the beginning and Royals at the end)? I'm trying to arrange the pieces into something more intuitive to the game (Starters, then First Promotions, then Second Promotions), and so far it hasn't complained.
I'll wait for another time for things like limitations on promotions to Thaumaturge, Pawn selections between Starters and First Promotions, and complicated stuff like that.
