[AD] GalaxyView V2.4 released! From: Roland Scholz <scholz@pb.izm.fhg.de> Date: Mon, 08 May 2000 00:00:00 +0000 Hi there, GalaxyView, a turn viewer for Standard Galaxy, GalaxyNG and BlindGalaxy has seen a major update. You can get it as usual from the GalaxyView homepage at http://www.pb.izm.fhg.de/~scholz/GalaxyView/ This is what's new from the history: V2.4 (05/07/00): . GalaxyView now displays the players groups in the map at accurate positions (even in Blind Galaxy games)! This information is taken from the 'Your Groups' list (not from the map). Selecting a group in the map gives detailed information. . Clicking anywhere in the map selects the nearest object (planet or group). . Zooming improved (better for large maps or deep zooms). . You can zoom in small steps using the shift key when pressing a zoom button. This allows to fine tune the map size. . If 'zoom in on mouse position' is activated, right mouse button zooms out. . You can now save the map as a picture in BMP-format. . You can now print the map (very experimental, has to be improved in the future). . About box contains all GalaxyView contributors (Please tell me, if I forgot someone!). Just have a look. . Selecting a group in the 'Groups at planet' list now shows the group range in the map. . 'Curr. mass' in planet list now takes available material into account. . Blind Galaxy: The center of the map displayed can be changed. . Blind Galaxy: Distance calculation between two planets and ETA calculation now uses the shortest distance between two planets (wrap-around map!). Distance calculation between two planets at opposite sides of the map border is correct now. . Blind Galaxy: Erasing a fleet in the Move Editor now creates the correct command. . Blind Galaxy: The command 'Load Cargo and Send Group To a Planet' supports specifying the amount of cargo now. . Blind Galaxy: Turn overview now contains players left the game (see online help for details) . Drawing the map is now faster. . Some bugfixes . Minor improvements Regards, Roland Scholz Up
