Star Army Item Generator Thread

There is no longer a need for trying to get more or less items to fill a list, as long as the list is complete.

The numerical list limit of 100 items has been done away with in the recoded version of the SAIGD.
 
Well, for whatever reason, this new list isn't working. While I did do away with the limit, it still seems to fail, saying that it's outside the bounds of the array.


I need someone who knows more about Visual Basic.NET to help me debug this...is anyone able to?


Edit: I figured it out. It works. There are no limits on size, period, that I am aware of. Still, I'd like a debugger, if only to streamline the code.

Making it work took some minor edits to the code though. After testing, I'll release it as Version 2.1, with this list included.
 
It'll be fun to come across this stuff on travels in random events.

Luca: "Hey guys look! Inexplicable boxes and barrels in the yard!" (Everyone rips into a box like it's Christmas)
Jim: "Ohh, Cookies!"
Mitch: "10mm Ammo!"
John: "Pornography!"
Lae: "Lacy Undergarments...?"
Mel: "Scarves!"
Crane: "Packing Pellets...?"
Vincent: "... a 20 pound Chocolate Bunny!?"

It might be worth having the app read these from a flat ascii .txt file, recognizing line-returns as "next object" and anything in <<>> as quantity or size or something.
 
Toshiro, do we have a generator with the Misc Cargo list available?

I don't think all of your suggestions are appropriate to add, Osakanone.
 
Sorry guys, couldn't resist.

But no, seriously? Think of silly things, like clothes, tool-kits, rations, etc. Even things like conduits, circuit breakers, fuses, capacitors, mother-boards, helm consoles, furniture, small arms, people's private belongings (photographs, cash-cards, trinkets, alcohol, music) etc.

I saw talk of a Nepleslian energy drink. I believe Kokuten made one up eons ago, and called it either SLAM, Crash, or something along those lines. I'll have to look it up later, but it's lying around somewhere in the HiGA plot. And, some contributions of my own to the list:
Box of Slinky toys.
