A new version is out! Here's what's changed:


3.19.1 2017-05-08:
- Adjusted lots of UI throughout the app to make it work well on phone-sized screens.
- Added the main menu to replace the temporary load-games-by-ID page. The main menu has single-player and multi-player tabs.
- Added the My Games and Open Games pages.
- Added music.
- Added the account button in the upper right that lets you see who you're signed in as, sign out, mute or adjust sound/music volumes. Mod development button was also moved here.
- Added add Ctrl+G hotkey to allow going to any game or map by ID.
- Sounds were separeted into two categories: critical sounds (the turn advance sound and the clock ticking), and everything else. These can be turned on/off independantly or the volume of each adjusted independantly.
- Added close buttons to the territory/bonus inspection dialogs.
- Replaced the "Load more" button on the maps and friends page with paging (next/previous page). This ensures the app stays fast and allows for quicker navigation. Thanks to Njittam for reporting the issues with "Load more".
- Created a more formal way of managing scenes, so when you navigate from one page to another and click the back button, it now takes you back to the correct scene.
- Pressing shift+enter now allows inserting newlines into chat. Thanks to Zephyrum for suggesting this.
- Added an "Exit History" button to close history more easily. Thanks to ps for suggesting this.
- Added the "B" hotkey to open the cards dialog. Thanks to ps for suggesting this.
- Tweaked double-click-to-attack some more to ensure it works reliably. Thanks to Sephiroth for reporting this.
- On the Create Game -> Change Mods page, mod-specific UI is now centered by default. Thanks to dabo1 for suggesting this.
- On the Create Game -> Cards page, the slider for how many pieces a card is divided into now bottoms out at 1 instead of 0.
- Mod UI: Added "Center" property to horizontal and vertical layout groups for centering the items.
- WebGL: Hopefully fixed a bug that caused some images to not show up.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error if you closed the end-game window before it finished loading. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that made sent chat messages re-appear in the chat box when pressing Escape to close chat. Thanks to Sephiroth for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug when playing attacks that wrap around the map that caused the defenders dying number to be duplicated. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug on manual distribution games where you started with lots of cards that made the "Discard all" button clickable while picking. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.

Since we have a games browser now, copy/pasting game IDs for multi-player games is no longer necessary! Also since we have an open games page, it's now possible to create open games with mods and have them fill!

Note that the My Games and Open Games sections were just added, and are still missing some features, such as:
- My games doesn't auto refresh, and requires manually clicking "Refresh" to get the latest info.
- Open games filter resets every time you re-start the app
- No "hide lottery games" button yet.
- No "my games" filter yet.

Enjoy and please send me feedback!

I'd suggest most likely widening the column size for the screen that you get before a game starts. As of now, it cuts off names in an awkward fashion.

Here is what it looks like:



Also for more visual appeal, it would be nice if the names and slots and other things were arranged gridlike, so they aren't all offset from each other like they are now.

---

Adding on, I noticed that when looking through maps to create a game on, a lot of the map thumbnails look blurry, as such:

---

When viewing the info boxes for mods, if you click to view the info for another mod while you already have a mod info dialog up, the first one persists under the new one, and you'll have to close both. It would be nice if when opening a new dialog, the first one closed instead of persisting.

I agree. Unfortunately this is something Unity makes difficult. It's funny since Unity's layout engine is so powerful in so many ways, but it really struggles at doing things as simple as an html table. Some day I need to find a reliable way of doing something like this, even if it means building it myself.

In the open games section the filter "both" and "multiday" give me this screwed look:

^ it happens because of the games with too many seats

Yeah, the boxes push things out instead of wrapping. I'll make sure that's fixed in the next update. Sorry about that.

mabey put the each game in a anther box so you can tell which is a new game

This is great! Especially now we can select games. However, the standalone client taxes my processor heavily. Macbook pro 2011 and Macbook Air 2013, El Capitan on both. The fans spin up, and it's enough draw to start draining the battery even when plugged in. They can usually handle complex tasks easily e.g. photoshop etc.

Can you try reducing the framerate to see if that helps? To do this, press Ctrl+Shift+E to open the debug menu and change the target framerate from 60 to 30. You can try even lower numbers if that isn't enough.

Let me know if this helps or not!

It does seem to help thanks. 20 seems to be a good number on my 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro. I'll keep fiddling.

imho I think the chat should open to team chat by default. This would reduce the amount of secrets given away by people typing in the public chat by mistake. Not that I ever do that of course...

A new version is out! Here's what's changed:

3.19.1.1 2017-05-09:
- Order information ballons that appear no longer come out automatically and instead require double-clicking to bring them out.
- The tooltip for bonuses now shows how many territories is in that bonus. Thanks to ViralGoat for suggesting this.
- The "we have been waiting for x minutes" text in the lower right corner now updates in real-time instead of just on Refresh events, so it will always show an accurate number now. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- On My Games and Open Games, the boxes now wrap so that big games don't mess up the spacing of the page. Thanks to linberson for reporting this.
- The main menu now defaults to the multi-player tab if you're in at least one multi-player game, otherwise it defaults to single-player.
- My Games now automatically refreshes when returning to it after playing a game.
- Clicking on games in the My Games or Open Games pages now works more reliably.
- Added a "?" button to explain what Critical sounds are. Thanks to ps for suggesting this.
- Fixed a bug that made the "Watch" button say "Resume" in multi-player games before playing had even started.
- Fixed a bug when copying a game's settings that had mods which made the mods not show up in the Create Game page.

In the open games i was just watching the Real-Time section and noticed that there were some templates there without any players so i just clicked on 1 of them and suddenly noticed it was a coin game. This should be made way more obvious in my opinion since it's easy to just see 1 player in the lobby and think it's a normal game and suddenly without even thinking about it you join a coin game when you don't even want to or are not allowed to do it since you are for example active on your 2nd account (which is the case for this example actually)

all of the game listed below should be made more obvious as coin games

suddenly noticed it was a coin game

Oh yeah! I forgot to show coin info there. I'll add that in the next update, thanks for pointing that out.

Is there a way to make the target frame rate permanent? My computer restarted by itself to install updates, and it had been running hot for a while before I found it...

Looks like the load template option is gone in single player mode.

Is there a way to make the target frame rate permanent?

Unfortunately, right now it only persists as long as the app stays open.

Looks like the load template option is gone in single player mode.

Single Player -> Create Single-Player Game -> Load works fine for me. Can you be more specific in what you're trying to do?

A new version is out! Here's what's changed:

3.19.1.2 2017-05-10:
- Added filter options to Open Games. Can filter on Real-Time vs Multi-Day, mods vs no mods, coins, and lottery games.
- Added coin info to My Games and Open Games pages.
- Added the Past Games page, accessible by a button below My Games.
- Added filter options to My Games, identical to what the multi-player dashboard has.
- Open Games now pages if there's more than 30 games.
- Added a debug menu button to enumerate what's in local storage.
- Add hotkey tooltip to mod development button. Thanks to dabo1 for pointing out this was missing.
- WebGL: Fixed a bug if you loaded a game and then closed it via the back button. Thanks to DanWL for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that made the windows for some card dialogs not draggable.
- Fixed a bug that made the "Watch" button say "Resume" in multi-player games before playing had even started.

Could we have the chat default to Team, not public?

i think it would be better to have both chats there

@muddlezoom yes even better, but either way the cursor should default to team chat, for safety.

Also, it would be very useful to be able to drag past the edge of the map. e.g. so we could center the corner of a map on the screen (otherwise the gets hidden behind the buttons...
