    This build enables new moderator features. There is also preparatory work for what we hope will be multiple Card Hunter accounts per Steam user. This requires a new maintenance check on Steam client login - if this causes any problems, let us know. There is a way to work around this maintenance check.

    In this build, users running the Steam client without Steam authentication (i.e. when logging in with a password) should now be able to make purchases through Paypal.

    There is a feature in this build to completely disable chat should you not wish to interact with other users. Finally, there are a bunch of other miscellaneous bug-fixes and improvements.

    Steam client
    • Check maintenance through game server on steam client login.
    • Steam client shows more informative message when a login fails due to session time out.
    • Better error logging from Steam client during login/auth process.
    • Change the way that the waiting overlay is displayed during Steam login/auth.
    • Try to fix paypal purchasing in desktop client (fix URL for paypal return and don't auto close it).
    • Added a config setting to bypass maint check in Steam client.
    Chat
    • Added an option to disable chat entirely.
    • Identify mods & admins in chat.
    • Add a /mod message command.
    Deck Builder
    • Added some more set keywords for text searches (citadel, artifact, AA, aloyzo, arsenal).
    Leagues
    • Remove league end display from screen when screen is removed. Should fix league prizes being awarded twice client side when disconnecting during award.
    Cards
    • Fixed group names in card transfer logging.
    • Slice effect doesn't create invalid bitmap data when the source art size is zero (should fix a flash error when running at very high anim speed).
    Misc
    • Various typo fixes for prompts, scenarios and hints.
    Debugging
    • Add a cheat to dump an arbitrary battle by room to the console.
     
  2. "Slice effect doesn't create invalid bitmap data when the source art size is zero (should fix a flash error when running at very high anim speed)."

    Is this referring to the incidence where a revealed card appears extremely tiny in the opponent's hand?

    • Add a cheat to dump an arbitrary battle by room to the console.
    That mean we can save/dump the Battle Log in our PC/HD and look at it later offline?

    No - I'm hoping this fixes an issue reported where the game locks up occasionally: http://forums.cardhunter.com/threads/sp-frequent-freezing-at-start-of-rounds.7909/

    Sorry, this is a dev only command. It generates a lot of network traffic, so we wouldn't want it available to everyone.

    Ok, but i hope in future player have access to some form of "replay" too.
     
  7. Perhaps a stand alone program that allows us to copy the log into for a battle recreation.
     
    Fortaleza and timeracers like this.

    Atm I have chosen not to include anything that is platform specific.

    Fair enough. It's a pinned post on Steam, we'll then just look it up there when required.
