BUT it might not be optimal in terms of everything fitting on the screen.

Any chance you could make it so the screen was scrollable with the mouse wheel so extra large fonts too big to display on a single screen simply run off the bottom into a scrollable screen? Probably too late for those ...

Really looking forward to this game, but am a bit worried as it uses a similar display to WitP. I hardly ever play that game any longer due to tiny fonts and icons that my old eyes have real trouble with. Any chance fonts and icons are scalable in this engine?

We've been working to make more of ...

Hello guys,

How long does it take for the beta test reply (approval or not)

Jose Antonio .... presente

That's a good question for Matrix/Slitherine people ... hopefully they will be along and answer shortly. We're the dev team, so that isn't us.

... So the game description states "the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition", is there any information on what may follow this first game ? ...

There is no publicly available information on this topic.

Really curious to see how WITP:AE's engine fits a mainly land war.

Well, that and that I'm Spanish, so this will be definitively a buy :mrgreen:

<<Really curious to see how WITP:AE's engine fits a mainly land war.>>

Short answer - "it doesn't" ... this is a 100% new engine ... inspired by AE ...

We're looking at a couple of issues. Yaab's map discrepancies being one of those.

sorry but I cannot disregard

jwilkerson

Ok, thank you for your answers. I was simply wondering in case patch v1.01.26a (from 2015) fixed bugs in files not covered by this latest v1128. But if the consensus is " Just install the base game and apply the latest update. Nothing in between ", then that's what I will do!

Restated, current ...

Thanks for the visit Andrew !!!

Reading thru the posts so far, you guys are doing a great job of getting many questions answered by other posters.

I'll work on a list of questions for us to answer - but there will be a bit of a delay - day job calling and all that.

But the main one I see is:

We definitely recommend installing ...

jwilkerson

One more file was wrong, the "jump map". Fixing that. Last time we had 3 wrong files, this time we had 1 wrong file. Getting closer and closer.

jwilkerson

... How close is close?

Half the remaining distance !!??

jwilkerson

As to the question about the details of how the installer will work, I'll have to defer to Matrix to answer that question. They create the final official installer.
The way we've been testing is to copy the update files on top of a clean install of the last production version (which you would ...

jwilkerson

Actually, we're going back and forth with Matrix trying to get the build perfect.
Its no longer about the code or the data for the game.
Its about making sure we have exactly the correct versions of each necessary file in the build. And this has turned out to be harder that I expected.
But we are ...

jwilkerson

beta2 file set has been turned in to Matrix (finally)

We are investigating one issue.

Will post update here when we know more.

Greetings

My guess, is another month ... we're almost there ... sorry for the massive delays !

Update:

We've finished working thru RJ's issue list, now we're working on Yaab's issue list. So it could be another 1-2 weeks before we're done with those. Then we do our build and test, then Matrix does their build and we test, then Beta-2 will be publically released. And we'll give it another 30 ...

jwilkerson

Ok, we've done beta-2 build and done some testing, found a few issues, working thru those.

As to predicting when DONE - its tough, everything seems to take 10 times longer than expected, but we continue to inch closer and closer to the finish line - which is definitely within sight.
