Beta patch 1.101b

Invernomuto · 17 Febbraio 2010

Uscita la beta pubblica per AE. Chi la prova è pregato di dire come va la possibilità di resizing per gli schermi wide.

Hi Everyone,

Major kudos to the WITP-AE development team. This public beta includes the long-awaited Wide Screen resolution support many have wished to see. It also has a ton of other great improvements and fixes. We need your help to test this as thoroughly as possible before declaring it official. We believe it's ready, but we can't be as thorough as all of you can in making sure of that. Please take a look in the Members Club, give it a try and let us know if it meets with your approval.

Here's the full change list:

Wide Screen Support

New for Patch 03, build 1101 and above:
-px –py
To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be substituted.
For small map scenarios use of the original sizes is recommended. Set up a separate icon, with an appropriate name, for these cases, for example for Coral Sea.

Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor support the px and py values.
We were unable to test on all possible monitor combinations, if you experience issues you should immediately remove the –px –py from your command line switches to revert to standard display behavior.
Examples:
-px1920 –py1200 for a 1920x1200 monitor in full screen mode
–px1680 –py1050 for windowed mode, so that the window is within desktop

Change History:

V1.01.01b – February 14, 2010

• Patch Three – Beta – This release is comprehensive, thus updating all previous versions to v1.01.01b.

• Code Changes

1. Fixed - Only show army units of the current player; in base hex it was possible to get the units from the owner of the base to show.
2. Fixed - Cross-assignment of land units grabbing air/sea leaders.
3. Fixed - Jumbled line on Industry Management Screen when sorting.
4. Fixed - City attack not working when using 'Commander Discretion'.
5. Correction - Allow reforming groups to use the HQ nationality if normal group national bases are not available.
6. Correction - Wrong location variable used in checking for Soviet airgroups, causing random carrier groups to appear Soviet for missions
7. Corrected inconsistency in low-level altitude determination.
8. Fixed - Don't show 'manage repairs' if no ships can be repaired. Otherwise the repair screen can be shown with a phantom ship.
9. Gameplay Change: Allow Seaplane tenders with organic air groups to fly day patrols even if disbanded in a port 1-3. The port restriction is not in affect for the AI.
10. Changed - Suppress 'Done' on change of command screen until change is chosen – caused Political Points leak.
11. Changed - When PGM is used, it will be reported as "missile". The actual name of the device will appear on the combat report under the plane's weapons.
12. Fixed - When planes aborted missions, the mines and missiles did not get returned to the pool as 'unexpended'.
13. Adjusted repair and conversion time when a ship is concurrently undergoing both Temp AP conversion and regular Upgrade/Conversion.
14. Corrected TF selection display on TF screen when in "in this hex" mode.
15. Suppress Upgrade Yes/No option when repair controls are expanded on Ship Screen to prevent overwrite.
16. Corrected distance calculation for TFs that arrive at off map bases and then return to onmap bases.
17. Correcteded mis-spelling "Withdrawalls".
18. Prevented improper destination/follow setting for off map TF from teleporting the TF onto the map.
19. Prevented overflow in capacity calculations during TF Load Allocation, add cross load capacity shortfall and load safety factor messages.
20. Gameplay Change: Torpedo accuracy reduced a bit in general and a bit more against escorts.
21. Gameplay Change: ASW bombing experience effects altered to increase effects of ASW aircraft over time.
22. Major Interface Improvement: Added wide-screen, high resolution support.
23. Fix for AI not repairing captured industry.
24. Fixed TOE not upgrading devices which was causing units not to get replacements due to mismatch.
25. Fixed units in strat mode not waiting for packing up when following.
26. Fixed reducing TOE delay when delay is invalid (9999).
27. Fixed convoy units with invalid delay.
28. Fixed units not able to get replacements when device does not match TOE.
29. Made add supply button literal based, the unit will try to get only the amount listed.
30. Fixed partisan check, some units not being counted at base due to faulty 'on ship' check.
31. Gameplay Change: Fast transports were using a different 'coast hex' check to every other instance. This stopped places surrounded by water hexsides from showing.
32. Fixed issues affecting fast transport pickups.
33. Tweaked Ship bombardment affecting port base.
34. Fixed - Don't allow transport ships to be removed from TF in the "Verify Load" if only one ship or not in a friendly base. Detaching ship in this case causes it to disappear from game.
35. Suppressed some of the 'leader reassigned' messages.
36. Fixed - Variable reinforcement was incorrectly setting leader delay if the delay changed to before game started.
37. Fixed - Changed blanks in Air Unit Organization to use 'unknown' so sorting doesn't mangle lines in list.
38. Fixed - Choose TF leader screen was displaying some details on map rather than in text box.
39. Changed - Clear 'followed by' data from TF being dropped - TF following a removed TF attaches itself to the new TF# if used in same turn.
40. Fixed - Change of ship (prev/next) in the ship lists is not setting global original repair values for that ship.
41. Gameplay Change: Added PB to list of ships eligible for Auto Convoy.
42. Fixed issue to ensure Jeep carriers don't count towards a/c operational in TF.
43. Improved AI use of CVE.
44. Fixed Loop in viewing TF list.
45. Fixed issue causing wrong nationality of TF leader.
46. Fixed issues where CV sunk in same phase as planes land, they might not divert.
47. Tweaked AI replenishment TFs to stop them from switching back and forth between different TFs.
48. Interface Improvement: Added a mouse over on aircraft upgrades giving clues as to why upgrade in not possible.
49. Interface Improvement: Added a P next to the withdraw data (Withdraw by dd/mm/yy *P) on the Group screen. This indicates a most likely permament lost of the group when withdrawn.
50. Gameplay Change: Change to river assault – reversion to original rule - when crossing a river into a hex all units entering should shock attack in the turn they cross, unless 1/3 of the unmodified AV of the defenders has already crossed from that hex side in a previous turn.
51. Rationalized supply draw rules.
52. Reset movement direction and miles if enemy in the way.
53. Put in tracking for all bases, a bit is set to indicate which industry slot failed to produce due to lack of some industry required material.
54. Replaced Supply Required column with Failed in Industry Management screen as there are no supply requirements for industry.
55. Put in Stop and Start industry repairs and reset add supply to zero in base list screen.

Evviva!! Non vedo l'ora di provare witp sul mio widescreen!! Per ora però non rischio ad installare la beta, per evitare casini col pbem...

Comunque, a parte la cosa dello schermo, non mi pare di leggere di modifiche sostanziali al livello dell'ultima patch, o sbaglio? Non che ce ne fosse il bisogno, il gioco è già eccelso così com'è...

Io la sto scaricando, mi sa che se ho voglia e tempo la testo sull'installazione di test

Cmq, sicuramente il supporto wide è l'aspetto più eclatante, ma vedo che stanno ancora cercando il bilanciamento per i sub (ridotta ancora un po' l'efficacia soprattutto verso le escort) e per l'artiglieria (più supply e meno efficace contro un difensore fortificato) ma non so se quest'ultima roba era già presente negli ultimi hotfix...

EDIT: scusa ho visto solo ora la riga dove lo evidenzia.

Un saluto

Ok, qualche foto con il gioco alla nuova risoluzione

TrueKnight · 19 Febbraio 2010

D'accordo col mio avversario ho aggiornato con la beta patch anch'io...devo dire che ne vale la pena...vedere tutta la cina in un unica schermata è di notevole impatto; la mappa è molto più piacevole rispetto a prima. Peccato che non abbiano allargato anche le finestre a cui avrebbe fatto più bene, ovvero le schermate delle basi e di selezione delle unità, così come quelle di "intelligence".

Se ho visto bene, le uniche allargate sono Combat Report ed Operation Report...ma mi accontento

Occorre cambiare delle impostazioni? Perchè io con la patch nuova ho una schermata di gioco più piccola dello schermo...

:humm:

TrueKnight · 27 Febbraio 2010

Se leggi sul file "What's new" nella cartella del gioco, o sul thread del forum ufficiale è spiegato meglio...

...ma essenzialmente devi aggiungere "-pxNNNN -pyMMMM" come linea di comando, dove al posto di NNNN e MMMM ci devi mettere i valori della risoluzione a cui vuoi giocare... esempio -px 1920 -py1080

...spero sia chiaro, è più facile da fare che non da spiegare a parole
