Utopia Imp / News: Recent posts

A new update for all the recent page layout and age changes.

New approach on the different game servers: now you can switch between the servers from a single executable. To do this the server configuration is no longer hardwired, but stored in XML-files, giving another advantage.

You can now use the attack calculator for ambush attacks by selecting 'Ambush' from the relations list.

And at last some long overdue documentation in the new file readme.html.

Here's a new release, updated for the new WoL age.
As a new feature comes the science page/SoS-op formatter, completing the basic set of intel types.

For the start of a new Genesis age, there now is sopport for the other servers. I went with the lazy approach and made a seperate program version for each server. They can be run side by side if you turn off automatic formatting. For the source code the target server is configured from the config.pri file.

The WoL players are not forgotten this release, since there now is a buildings survey formatter for all the usual formats.

I've been off developing Imp for a while, but recently made up for it with a new round of programming. So here is the resulting release.
Most of the work is a new internal base for the formatter, but various new tricks for the user interface too. Enjoy.

Changelog:
Updated to Age 31
Large rewrite of the formatters underlying code:
-nicer to work with, stabler and more efficient
Added settings page, just 3 options for now:
-Automatic/Manual formatting of detected intel
-Automatic/Manual copying of intel to the clipboard
-Top/bottom position of the toolbar
Clock displaying current Utopian time
Warning when your army returns home
Improved functioning of the horses and prisoners max buttons
(De)Activation of townwatch in the attack calculator recalculates ME

Imp 0.09 is out now and ready for the new Age of Unity. Good luck to everyone in this age and have fun.

The utopian year changing to 10 showed I broke the date formatting during a change a while ago, so here's a fix for it. It was time for some renewed activity anyway.

Further featuring in this release is a swap button for the attack calculator, and the windows binary is simplified by removing the need for the extra pack of libraries.

Since the kingdom page suddenly changed and became unformatable, I hurried and made a new release.
The updated kingdom page formatter now displays attitudes, wars and the war history.

I should be busy studying, but still gathered up enough improvements for another release:

*0.06*
CB's: added recently hit, plague & dragon status
Made a start on thief/wizard estimation
Improved SoM importing some more
Display numbers with thousand separators

Another Imp release, with further improvements on the new Spy on Military formatter:

*0.05*
Added SoM importing in all formats
Added current remaining time to SoM's
Change SoM's when army return time has passed and troops are back home
Fixed output formatting, Utopia forums ate spaces used to position text
Update output text when sort order changes

A sourceforge project has been started to provide the new Utopia Imp formatter/calculator with a home!

And to fill it up a new version has been released at the same time, and it now has a Survey of Military formatter!
It has all the nifty tricks too:
Like calculating values from CB's and averaging over som's taken in the same hour.
Importing formatted som's will be added in a later release.
Also fixed doubleclicks on Windows.
