SC Contested Zone Cloud Sync is here!

The high-stakes Contested Zones of Checkmate, Orbituary, and Ruin Station leave zero margin for error. This web application is designed to keep your whole teams Contested Zone Timers Synchronized and on the same page while also providing a Shared Squad Inventory across multiple clients in real time. Whether you are running in one squard or more, this tool ensures your entire team is operating on the same clocks and knows what you collectively have.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

Syncs the Hangar, The Vault, Keys, and Board cycle countdowns via a shared data stream operating around a Google Sheet lightweight backend.

Live Inventory Tracking Allows your squad to instantly see which squad member has secured specific keys or boards, categorized by location by simply reporting the collection to your team and updating where the keys are stored at the major stations via easy button presses.

Zero-Infrastructure Backend is needed as it utilizes a Public Google Sheets API for real-time data persistence, so no accounts or complex hosting required. You can use my current sheet by simply opening the web page and have everyone in your squad use the same squad code.

For Added Security & Privacy You can direct the tool to your own spreadsheet, instructions will be maintained for this in the GitHub.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:

STARTING A SESSION

ENTER A COMPLEX SQUAD CODE (e.g., Alpha-9-XJ-77 ). TREAT YOUR SQUAD CODE LIKE A PASSWORD. Dont use 1234 or anything similar, your log will not be secure. DATA PERSISTS BETWEEN SESSIONS behind that code.

USER_NAME: Enter your handle (e.g., CMDR Quattro). This identifies who is currently holding specific boards or keys in the manifest.

SYNC_STATUS: Watch the Connection Lamp. A green light indicates the cloud is syncing. If you connecton issues using a Incognito window fixed almost all connection issues I experienced which can be caused by Ad Blockers and other Plugins.

MOVE Options in the inventory, can be used by anyone to move any key, and if a player moves a item its assumed to be in their possesion and the tool updates the inventory accordingly so you can track who has what over time across major stations.

TRACKING THE HANGAR & VAULT

EXECUTIVE HANGARS Works like expected, it operates on a fixed cycle. RED means closed; GREEN means open. When one every card and board are reported, the whole squad is notified.

RUIN VAULT DOOR Sets the clock as vault timing is harder to lock down. Do this by clicking [ SYNC_OPEN ] the moment the vault opens. This sets a 20-minute recurring timer for your entire squad.

TURN IN ALL KEYS Should be clicked when you insert keys into a Exec Hangar, clicking it wipes the squad manifests personal inventory tab for the next run by clearing 1 of each card or board from personal inventories. Before Clicking you need to tell the tool where the keys came from so you retain a inventory of extras at Landing Zones.
