v01.01.02 – Changelog
-
[b]New Features and Rule Changes[/b]
[ul]• Added “Display Scaling Percentage” preference item. This allows players some control over scaling their display in-game. [b]Note that when this version is first used, the system will automatically reset all preferences to default and attempt to set a scaling percentage that is best given your windows display settings.[/b] Players can change the scaling percentage by hovering over the value in the preference screen and selecting from the dropdown list. The game will only allow the player to select scaling percentages that fit their current display. When you change the scaling percentage, it is necessary to exit the program and restart in order for the new setting to take effect. At this time, items that appear on the right and top bars are not scaled, but the map and all other windows are impacted by the scaling percentage preference.
• Editor - Unit/Air group transfer TB flags will be automatically cleared when a scenario is loaded into the Editor. These transfer flags display in-game dynamic state and should be clear at the start of any scenario. Loading and saving off a scenario in the editor will now clear this info.
