A quick ping on 2.04

[CapnDarwin]

Testing is going well and we have corrected a few outstanding items and one real killer that Rob may have nailed tonight thanks to Jack54.

We also are working to update the 3 existing Mod Guides to a 2.04 standard. That's where my 3 day weekend will be. Plus needing to write up a what's new in 2.04 doc with pictures. A number of new features or feature improvements to cover and also some gameplay changes to outline. Then If I'm still alive work to finish Mod Guide 4 on Data Editing. Oh yeah, and get the Origins scenario tested and information updated for that.

Anyhow, we hope to get 2.04 into the Matrix update cycle next week after the holiday. If that changes for some reason I'll let you all know.[8D]

Just to keep you guys on your toes. How many new things can you see in the screen shot?

[zakblood]

how many guesses do we get

[Mad Russian]

The units look British!! They've been scarce as hen's teeth since Thor's Hammer was used!! [X(]

Good Hunting.

New tabs for the map sizing.

[zakblood]

don't look now as the brits are here, the brits to entertain you

green tab across the top of the subunit inspection page and whole top of page also, the tank picture is bigger, the whole page looks like it users a different font as it's easier on the eyes maybe, well looks clearer to me anyway.

L A D buttons also next to zoom buttons, so these are new

thats a few how many did i get right? and how many did i miss?



still looking at it tbh,

send the prize to normal place [&o][&o][&o]

[Mad Russian]

The prize will be in the normal place. New content for you guys. This time there will be a 10 scenario campaign included with the patch.

Good Hunting.

You guys are awesome. Glad to see you are keeping with the genre and merely changing theaters in your next game

[CapnDarwin]

The 3 new buttons are L - Toggle LOS display, A - Toggle Friendly Move Paths, D - Toggle Command Radius.

[wodin]

The little triangles on the top center of two counters , map bottom left, seem new one is red the other black.

[CapnDarwin]

The movement type and direction indicators have been there from the start. They show unit direction of movement and if the triangle is black it is a road type movement with little combat readiness/utility or red indicating the units are in a combat formation (spaced out and ready to fight). Easy enough to miss those with all the action going on at times. I don't pay too much attention to them myself unless I'm plotting arty fire. Then I look to see where the target is going.

so i take it there's no balloon for me

[Tazak]

VP counters - appears to be a NATO symbol (so I'm assuming a similar WP one is available)
Unit tab shows type (Recce in the image)
Stand-off range is reduced (down to 2 from 3-6)

[pekische]

These new three buttons for filters of view were my dream... great! But why is button for range of fire missing?

[zakblood]

i thought the VP counter was someone elses map/counter mod tbh so didn't mention it as there's a post here with them already in, uness a beta tester maybe

[Plodder]

They look like mine so it's probably an oversight but if OTS want to make them official they have my permission.

[zakblood]

hehehe, thought they were tbh

see i knew i'd seen them somewhere else, a bit of digging and i knew i find them

[cbelva]

Yes Plodder they are yours and I am sure it was an oversight on Capn D's part. We would not use them officially without your permission. I do know that Capn D really likes them and has been using them in his own game play.

Personally, I think they are pretty good too.
