================================================================================ === Motcreations MapView Virtual Gaming System === ================================================================================ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___Version 1.2.16_______________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: * When closing a particularly large (hundreds of maps) game there was a long period in which the program became unresponsive. This has been fixed. Features Added: * Merge-drop has been added. If you drag-drop a unit onto a compatible unit they will automatically be merged into a single stack. * Split has been added. You can seperate a unit stack automatically by right- clicking and selecting any of the Split options. * You can now open more than one instance of MapView at a time. Modules Added: * Module support for the "Crucible" by Imp Games has been updated to version 1.1. The new Module file name is crucible_v1_1.mvm. Other Changes: * The size of both the active map set and the map archives has been increased. Spaces are now valid in the name of a Map or Game. ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.2.11____________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: * The initial setup map in User-defined modules was not being recognized. This has been fixed. Features Added: * Further enhancements in the loading of Modules and User-defined Modules have been made. * A new unified file extension has been added to MapView. This universal extension (.mvf or MapView Game File) will work for any supported game file. Modules Added: * Module support for the "Crucible" by Imp Games has been added. The Module file name is crucible.mvm. * Module support for Don Rae's "Chessboard A&A" module has been added. The Module file name is chessboardaa.mvm. Other Changes: * Note that the new unified MapView Game File extension (.mvf) will be replacing all other extensions currently in use for the supported modules. The other extensions will continue to work for backwards-compatibility for now, but should be considered depricated. ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.2.09____________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: * Previously adding more than 255 maps to a game file caused an "Out of memory" crash. This has been fixed. * Under certain circumstances, the Undo and/or Redo of adding a new map caused a crash. This has been fixed. Features Added: * Older maps are archived as newer maps are added. These archives can be accessed from the "View" menu. * When selecting a game file to open, the file filter now includes an option to see "All MapView Files". * Support for User-defined Modules (UDMs) has been added. Modules Added: * Module support for "SQUARES - The Civil War Battle Game" has been added. The Module file name is squv1.mvm (version 1). * "The Great War" module has been updated to include new neutral country units and some enhanced graphics. The new file is tgwv2.mvm (version 2). Other Changes: * Note that version 1.2 has introduced a new game file format. MapView 1.2 can read your old 1.1 game files and will convert them to 1.2 format automatically when saved. However, older versions of MapView (such as MapView 1.1) cannot use these new 1.2 files. * When MapView 1.2 is installed you can (under the "Custom" setup) optionally install the UDM Compiler which will allows you to create your own game modules. ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.1.06a___________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: * An alert user has notified us that the MapView Chess board was incorrect. After a quick check and a 90 degree spin, the board has been fixed. We've updated the setup to install the new Module, mvcv1a.mvm. Features Added: N/A Modules Added: N/A Other Changes: N/A ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.1.06____________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: N/A Features Added: * Support for MapView and Module Registration has been fully implemented. * About screen is fully implemented. * Printer support is available for most Modules. * Module Installation support is built in. Modules Added: * Module support for "The Great War" has been added. The Module file name is tgwv1.mvm (version 1). * Module support for "MapView Chess" has been added. The Module file name is mvcv1.mvm (version 1). Other Changes: * Modules no longer require an installation program. Instead, use the "Install Module" option under the "Tools" menu. ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.0.39____________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: N/A Features Added: * Added "Clear All Arrows" (located in the Action menu) to delete all movement arrows from the current map. Modules Added: * The "East & West" Module has been updated with a new map. The new file is eawv4.mvm (version 4). Please note that compatibility between version 3 and version 4 has been broken. Other Changes: * The setup programs for the various Modules no longer include a Window Installer update. This should reduce their size and make them much easier to download. The MapView setup program still includes the Windows Installer and those using an older OS will need to have MapView installed before installing the Modules. ________________________________________________________________________________ ______Version 1.0.36____________________________________________________________ Bugs Resolved: * Undo/Redo bug that caused random "Index out of bound" crashes has been fixed. * MapText bug that caused crashes when saving/restoring very large amount of text has been fixed. * Command line support failed depending on the version of OS and location of file. This has been resolved. * Full Screen View has been corrected to work with most Modules. Features Added: * Added "Reset Moved" (located in the Action menu) to toggle the moved status of all the units to off (or unmoved). Modules Added: * The supported "East & West" Module version is eawv3.mvm (version 3). Other Changes: * Incorporated the use of InstallShield to create the setup programs, which includes the use of the Windows Installer. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ ================================================================================
