Version 1.0.17.0 Released

Added some more features that should aid online play, including a neat new feature to play a sound to remind players that it is their turn (suggested by a user named "storymachine" in the bug tracker).

Here's what's new:

NEW FEATURES:
  • [1706] - The focus is given to "Next" and "Done" when you are playing your turn, and "Next" in combat so you can just press the ENTER key to advance.
  • [1705] - RealmSpeak will now play a sound when you are playing online when:
    • It is the beginning of a new day
    • It is your turn during the day
    • It is your turn during combat
    • When you forget to press "Done" at the end of your turn

  • You can enable/disable sound, and adjust the volume, in the options menu

BUGS/ISSUES:
  • [1701] - Made the fatigue/wound call thread-safe, so that network play doesn't lead to the "mystery round" condition.
  • [1702] - Fixed a problem with the chat lines on the map view when a player's name was particularly long.
  • [1690] - "Play Color Chits" button in combat will be disabled now when you don't have any more color chits.
  • [1707] - Fixed a problem with choosing a character with an extra chit or two.

Version 1.0.16.0 Released

Just a quick release to fix an expansion bug, and to make the chat interface a bit more visible. Here's what's new:

NEW FEATURES:
  • Count of "treasures left" in discoveries window and search dialog will now exclude "CANNOT MOVE" site cards that you have already discovered. This means other players may now see a different count for the same treasure site, depending on what they have already found.
  • [1094] - A list of ALL spells is available from the View menu now (only during a game)
  • Chat is now visible on the map. By default, 10 lines of chat will be visible on the map, but you can tweak this number under the options "map" submenu.

BUGS/ISSUES:
  • [1700] - Revealing a TWT in the Pond or Tomb is equivalent to revealing a large treasure now.

Version 1.0.15.0 Released

This release addresses a couple of issues I had while playing the game online with my friend last weekend, and the tournament game a couple of weeks ago. Also, for no apparent reason, I added two new treasures.

Here's what's new:

NEW FEATURES:
  • Chat interface includes multiple colors now, which are automatically assigned (for now).
  • [1670] - Host can selectively kill one connection now.
  • New treasures:
    • Bone Hand - Cursed great treasure that can be activated to increase sharpness of any wielded weapon at the cost of one level of vulnerability.
    • Net - Subtract one from any CAPTURE roll (capturing travelers)

  • [1393] - Green combat hotspots now split when mounted natives are involved, to allow you to position natives together with their horse, or separately.
  • [1143] - Improvements to chit fairness calculations in character builder:
    • Account for MAGIC chit speed
    • Disadvantage for complete absence of MOVE/FIGHT chits
    • Disadvantage for chits that are locked to a position (like DUCK)
    • Advantage for chits that can be alerted to increase vulnerability
    • Advantage for FLY chits

BUGS/ISSUES:
  • Fixed a redraw issue with guilds and travelers when playing online
  • [1695] - Fixed a problem with empty error logs being generated every time you ran a battle simulation
  • [1542] - Added a couple places I missed when logging chit fatigue.
  • [1696] - Travelers that fight, will die now, instead of living on indefinitely.
  • Fixed a problem with indents in the detail log, when casting a group effect attack spell
  • [1683] - Added a new item to the map "right-click" menu to hide/show Site Cards (like Toadstool Circle)

Version 1.0.14.0 Released

Did this release, so that I could play the expansion with a friend of mine. This version has a crude chat interface, which helps when you are playing with players that lack a TeamSpeak (or other audio) connection.

Anyway, here's what's new:

NEW FEATURES:
  • Added version information to the combat simulator launcher, and the error logs.
  • [1669] - New chat interface (rough, but it works) - look for it in the character frame tabs (last tab)

BUGS/ISSUES:
  • Fixed a bug with hiring Bob (Traveler)
  • Fixed a bug with destroying the Cloaks
  • Fixed a bug in the character chooser that was throwing an exception when choosing a random character
  • [1693] - Fixed a problem with hiring natives with a hypnotized native (expansion)
  • [1671] - Fixed a problem when transferring characters around, that was leaving familiars, hirelings, etc. behind
