new development snapshot 0.35.9, lots of user interface tweaks

beerockxs — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:49:20 +0000

Hi guys,
I’m proud to present our latest development snapshot, with lots of user interface tweaks.
You can get it here.
This is the new chatlounge:

And this is the chatbox in any phase where the map can be seen:

Note that the background color and transparancy can be set by you in the advanced client settings, as well as the font size.
The values you need to change for that are

AdvancedChatbox2BackColor – for the background color, enter the 3 RGB values of the color you want
AdvancedChatbox2Transparancy – for how transparent the background should be, from 0 to 255
AdvancedChatbox2Fontsize – for the fontsize.

Also, we made some changes to how BattleArmor are handled, old BattleArmor datafiles will no longer work, use the ones that come with MegaMek instead.
In addition to that, there’s lots of other changes, this is the changelog:

A New Look

Taharqa — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:20:36 +0000

We are making some big changes to the MegaMek front page. Hopefully, the new format will allow us to more easily keep the site updated. Comments on the new layout are welcome.

Also, I would like to put some screenshots up on the new About page. So when you are playing your games and you have a nice looking screen with lots of action, take a snapshot, and send it to me at bombaijin@users.sourceforge.net.
