So where am I at with REMLAB? First off, as you can see it has been 10 years since I last updated the PHP/AJAX version of REMLAB that I have on SourceForge. This version I have largely abandoned this as the source code for it was a hot mess and needed to be completely rewritten. About 5 years ago, I [...]

The latest update I put on SourceForge fixes a bunch of calculation bugs that I had come across plus some other tweaks. I also added preliminary structure/building construction to REMLAB as well. FASA never really flushed out the rules for designing building and installations. The orignal Compendium had rules for it but they just seemed to have too many unnecessary [...]

I just added REMLAB to SourceForge for all to see, play with, and then delete out of shear disappointment. Everything is there if you want to install REMLAB on your web server or local PC (more complicated than it sounds.) I will do my best at continuing development on it, but I won't make any promises. And finally in my [...]

I think I've got everything now in place and working. There are just a few things I need to fart around with, such as the 'Available Crits' box, but other than that this thing seems to be mostly bug free. I think it's safe to say this version of REMLAB is now caught up with the original application in terms [...]

This is a work-in-progress version of my REMLAB Mech Designer reengineering with AJAX functionality. Most of it is still incomplete, which includes printing. This is just to show off what AJAX (and a lot of Javascript) can do for this application, plus I get to use the latest buzz-word. I reused most of the original PHP code from the first [...]

I began dabbling with AJAX-style web programming, and it turns out to be a little easier to work with than I had originally thought. I've initially rewritten my PHP dice calculation program with AJAX, and I'm hoping to at some point rewrite the Mech Designer into AJAX as well, and a somewhat grander feat as well, I might add. Now, [...]

I just finished fixing a few Internet Explorer rendering bugs. As far as I can tell everything looks okay now. Though, I wish Microsoft would hurry up and release IE 7... or maybe I don't. Or at the very least, it would be nice everyone in the world would switch over to Firefox or Opera. That would certainly make my [...]

And now for something completely different... a fully-functional totally web based Battletech Mech Designer! REMLAB is pretty much bug free, as far as I can tell. However, future development is going to be slow, because of other projects that I have that need to be completed, but for all intensive purposes, this project is as done as it needs to [...]
