[Jason Petho]

We have the 1.23 UPDATE ready to hand off on Sunday. Barring any disasters, it should be available around Thursday.

17.1 Vietnam Update Log for 1.23

17.1.1 Errata
• No errata for 1.23

17.1.2 Enhancements
• In the Scenario Editor, implemented a new, standalone Missions Dialog, for specifying one or more Mission Types for each side. (We anticipate making expanded use of this legacy capability, both in the EAI and the CSEE/SAI.)
• Expanded the list of Mission Types from the legacy 11 to 23.
• Extended the sound categories from 35 to 43, to accommodate the eight new aircraft/helicopter sound types.
• Extended Map Hints to display ‘W’ marker labels at inland Waterway hexes.
• In 2D, when direct firing blindly into apparently empty hexes, the tracer fire and explosion graphics will newly display.
• Trace fire and light arms explosion graphics will no longer display, and map recentering to the target hex will not happen, if the target hex is out of Line of Sight.
• Implemented the new CSEE functions: game(), game_name(), scenario(), missions(), mission_name(), region(), region_name(), biome(), biome_name(), condition(), shuffle().
• Implemented a new CSEE/SAI uber function, attack_sequential().
• Implemented a new CSlint utility, csflgfix.pl, for modifying unit flag values.
• Revised the CSlint utilities csscnchk.pl & csluachk.pl to accommodate the new Mission Types and new CSEE functions.
• With the -V command-line option, every game EXE will display its version # and build time/date.
• Revamped the log system ERRID codes, for better CSEE/SAI debugging.
• Updated several CSlint utilities.

17.1.3 Fixes
• Fixed an assault CTD bug (where all ground units are overrun, and with helicopters flying overhead).
• Fixed a bug where, during day turns only, the Status Bar and HexInfo Box flare (starshell) counts were in disagreement (showing as 0 in the HexInfo Box).
• Fixed a CTD bug in the legacy airstrike system.
• Fixed a bug where in certain airstrike situations some aircraft animations will fail to show.
• Fixed a potential CTD bug if an aircraft Sp*.bit shadow file is missing.

[Jason Petho]

Ugh, Apparently not yet.

Sorry all, not sure what the hold up is.

It's not like I've been checking all day

*shakes fist in the air*

That makes two of us!

I'll be posting it all over once they finally get around do it.

Yea, its one of the things that has got worse with the Slitherine/Matrix conglomerate. Completed patches sit in a que until someone gets around to making an installer and releasing it, must be according to the schedule. Every game has to be slotted or so I've read. Well I tell ya in the good ole days patches released when they were ready.

*more fist shaking*

Ah well, sorry about that everyone.

Hopefully early next week then.

[budd]

Not on you guys. Enjoying your youtube/twitch series by the way, very instructional.

[Jason Petho]

Glad to hear that, budd!!

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see!
