Added a sample set from Worldwide Equipment Guide to Battle Staff Tools online. With a stand-alone license you get access to the complete data base without the need to be online.

And converted coordinates now get an overview map. (And you can input a string that contains multiple coordinates.)

And a friendly reminder that you shouldn’t put classified information online.

Just released BattleStaffTools 2.6.2, now everyone with a license can download the full Worldwide Equipment Guide for offline use.

Working on offline access to Worldwide Equipment Guide. It is going really well.

Just published maintenance updates to milsymbol and milstandard-e. Find the repositories on github.

Even if I create open source software, you can’t expect to get everything I do for free.
This is apparently a hard concept for large organizations to understand.

PDF text extraction is done by my own JavaScript port of parts of pyPDF.

TAKing things to the next level. First prototype of cursor on target importer.

Some say, size doesn’t matter.

Wish for something in the future of Battle Staff Tools.
Dream a little.

Just released Battle Staff Tools 2.3.1.
Added a setting to use plain text files instead of json/geojson, if you use a system with strict security rules that prevents download of json/geojson.

Made a tiny update to my patched version of maplibre to speed up loading of over scaled tiles in VTPK, and the updated version is now live.

Just released Battle Staff Tools 2.3.0!
Now with support for reading Esri VTPK and TPKX, both local and server based files.

After patching @maplibre.org, my code for reading Esri VTPK now works for overscaled tiles.
Just waiting for @bdon.org to get back on how to license my derivate work.

Esri VTPK/TPKX in @maplibre.org

The horse has been removed in newer versions, iirc.

Pack animal sniper!

And we got initial support for vector tiles and style directly form a VTPK.

Got it working!
Rasters from a local Esri TPKX direct into @maplibre.org Remote files should 🤞 work as well with my custom zip parser.
Next step VTPK.

Battle Staff Tools 2.2.0 should now, or soon, be live at the new hosting.
Lots and lots of updates, read the changelog.

Got things up and running at the new hosting, think I’m ready to flip the switch.
