Guessing not on apple yet?

Whenever I click on P3 Khador red base, it switches to "Ember Orange." I'm assuming this is a bug...

It's just about done, but I need to raise some cash to renew my Apple developer license before I can release it xD

Yep, definitely. I'll get this fixed. (Edit: Took a quick look through my code, found the bug immediately. I'll get an update pushed out soon)

Also, thanks everyone for the support! Please let me know if you run into any bugs, or find flat-out incorrect color matches

selecting Old Citadel "Regal Blue" results in "Abaddon Black" populating in the Citadel results.

That seems weird.

Edit:
Found a few more that look weird.
Old Citadel Mecharite Red results in Citadel XV-88
Citadel Mephiston Red results in Old Citadel Calthan Brown
Citadel Ceramite White results in Old Citadel Iyanden Darksun

So far loving the app. I'm gonna go buy the unlock now.

Any thoughts on possibly allowing a fourth product line to be compared?
Also it would be cool if it had craft paints (like Apple Barrel) as an option(not super important though).

Regarding Ceramite White: For better or worse, this isn't a bug right now. Ceramite White is considered a "Base" type paint, which correlates directly to the Old Citadel "Foundation" line. Since GW never had a pure white Foundation paint, WarPaint will try to find the next best thing-- which, in this case, is mathematically most similar to Iyanden Darksun. I have adjusted my formula to account for the color perception biases of the average human eye, but sometimes there just isn't anything close enough for our brains to consider a "match". I want to eventually implement an option for a more lenient match predicate, so instead of matching Ceramite White to Iyanden Darksun, WarPaint will instead say "no, that's not close enough-- let's look for a more similar paint, even if it's a different type". Which, in this case, would probably be Ceramite White -> Skull White =)

For now, there may be some general quirkiness comparing a large paint range like Vallejo Model Color (over 200 colors of various types) or the New Citadel line (close to 150) to a small range like Army Painter (about 36 different colors of colors) or even the old Citadel line in some cases. Aaaand sometimes it's just a bug, like Regal Blue to Abaddon Black and a couple others you listed xD I'll be sure to include fixes in the next update, thanks for the report =)

I'm definitely planning on adding more paint ranges. Apple Barrel (as well as a couple other popular craft store-esque paint ranges), Tamiya, etc.

Wow. Thanks for the explanation on how the comparison works. Thats actually quite cool.
Thanks for the heads up about the other paint lines. I love what you have so far especailly since you included Vallejo Model Air.

I'm actually looking forward to getting off of work and going home to inventory my paints...again...hopefully this will be the last time I ever have to do that.

Expanding inventory features is pretty high up on my to-do list. I've had a couple of people request an "inventory sheet" feature, where you can view a list of all the paints you currently have stock of. Something like that will probably come in the next update. If it doesn't delay the update too much, I can probably also make the inventory sheet printable/e-mailable to start with.

That would be amazing.

And here all I thought this app was something simple anyone could program, really cool to know it actually compares the stuff.

I liked the old app, glad you updated it and such, I have been looking for it! (and I might actually buy an app for once)

Ah well, I'm sure any of you could program something like this if you wanted =) Anyway, support is always appreciated; I'll try to make it worth your money!

Version 1.02 went out early this morning with bug fixes for (most) of what has been reported so far. If you guys run into any other colors that look wrong, or colors that won't select, or whatever else... Please let me know and I'll get an update pushed out asap.

They're up on the Google Play market now, and an iPod/iPhone version will follow as soon as the Android version generates enough to cover my developer subscription to Apple xD

Any plans for Windows phone? It's what I have...

Love the App!

If you're ever looking to expand its features, I would love to be able to store my paint "recipes" along with my inventory.

Something that let me keep track of my custom paint mixes as well as specific paints I used for individual models and armies.

looks good. If you make it for WP7/W8 I'll snag it.

I like WP7/8 a lot actually. The problem is Microsoft isn't very humble with their developer licensing fees-- they charge what Apple charges, for a much smaller userbase. I believe they (Microsoft/Windows Phone) currently have something like ~2% of the market share. Not economical for me at the moment :(

So would I, haha. As soon as I'm finished making an inventory screen, I'm going to implement what I call the "Cauldron" feature. Here you'll be able to set the color, mix ratios, name, quantity, etc of your own custom concoctions.

+1 on this. VGC is the only way to go lol

It's in there, as well as Vallejo Model Color and Vallejo Model Air

Nice!

So no eta on the iOS version.

So I was so excited to get this app! Then I bought an iphone ><

Can't wait to see it on apple! I understand on the fees, I just had to pay it for work for some apps we run (I am in charge of the project, but don't do any of the coding)

Actually, iOS version itself is nearly complete.

It's not a ton of money, but this time around I'm trying to make it a point to actually pay my dev fees with money I make from apps I'm paying the fee to develop o.O xD


Automatically Appended Next Post:
After todays update, is everyone's app allowing you to select Khador Red Base from P3? I'm getting conflicting reports on whether or not the update took effect o.O

Old Citadel Hawk Turquoise and P3 Coal Black are certianly not similar colors. Coal Black is a very dark cyan, while Hawk Turquoise is a medium-bright cyan.

I will definitely be picking this up the moment it hits iOS!

Is there a match that you'd find more accurate for each of those respective colors within the specified ranges? WarPaint's algorithm tries to find the closest color match-- but that doesn't mean that a true "match" (within our brain's margin of error) exists between the two ranges.

I do admit, however, that the accuracy of the matches depends greatly on how close to the real thing the colors I have each paint set to are. It's easy for some colors like black and white, but harder for metallics and anything with high blue spectrum content.

I will definitely be picking this up the moment it hits iOS!

You humble me with your presence, good sir!

downloaded and upgraded, great little app. hopefully now I will stop buying multiple dark reds!

Many thanks for the support!

Hi, love the app great work!, and will upgrade. On the inventory have you considered a 'need to buy/replace' field. I currently hold an inventory on google drive with a list of paints I have and need so I can add colours when a pot gets low or I discover a paint recipe I would like to try and havent got the stock. Then when shopping I don't end up with the wrong paint. With something like this and the inventory sheet I could totaly replace my current practice.

thanks
Glenn

Thanks! So essentially you want to be able to flag paints that you need to buy more of/replace, and then display them together in a sort of "shopping list"?

Yep, That would be great

64p? Yeah, go on then. I'd be hard pressed to not get 64p's worth of use out of it. Sold!
