BETA Games - Old UI - (3 / 2019)

[MrMarcos]

Hi guys

A new version of the engine has been deployed. We're introducing a reworked interface that should solve a good part of the reported issues. This interface introduces several improvements in terms of user interaction and has better performance.
Let us know about any issues you find.

damn. without being able to change any colors, Landgrab is unplayable. Can't see squat on the board.

Games 5 & 6 show that i'ts my turn, but will not load completely.
Shows map, player ribbon,intelligence chart,
No begin turn button,or setting buttons (like colors)
no troops on the map
no active tabs below the map other than Intel.

You can change colours! Just click on the colour next to the player in the intel-tab. then you can change it

It's a new interface - I love it! look here to get the grips of it:

Yeah, what Sebrim said.... You can change the color from clicking on the players color icon.

Would you recommend a visual clue or something?

What browser are you using?

Nice improvement to the interface!

 

[sannheten]

You could make the Arrow Down beside the player icon darker to make it easier to notice

There is mismatch between some troop containers and the troop number. Looks strange and makes it hard to read the numbers.

For the next upgrade. Not sure if this has been mentioned before? Could be only a Firefox/Mac-issue?

nice improvements, i like this much better than the last iteration. doesnt seem to load properly in safari though, at least no troop containers, so produces an empty map (on nukes). no trouble in chrome. i see the personal info moved to the main intel tab, but it is reduced to rank & score currently. id like to still see diplomacy & honor rating, however unreliable this can be. there is lots of space left there now, maybe udos / medals on the given map could be included as well?
oh, but i dont care for the soundeffects..

Nice can test landrush, love all the color options and the ui in general. I played around with some color options, I would advice to make neutral green large type, or any other large type, it only shows the number in that color without a container. Makes things much clearer to see on Landrush.
Can I make beta games on my own btw?
Edit: I just made 1, 1vs1 Landrush

Yes, this is already being addressed for the next release.

Hi. What browser are you testing it on? Do any errors appear in the Console?

Text search doesn't work on the Record tab properly. I think there is a linebreak(?) between each parts of the sentences (though they do show up in the same line), like this:

Took
Ingsoc
from

Sebrim

So if I want to search for example the terts taken from Sebrim, I can't search for the string "from sebrim".

Does this make sense?

Seriously!! Who does that? You search for text in the records tab? LOL. No wonder you're on the top of the scoreboard! :top:

 

[th-child]

Hehe. There's more where that came from! :dancing:

(I'm not sure it helps in anything, though.)

 

[Sebrim]

In Edge, I too see no troop containers or numbers.
In Firefox, it works, as does Chrome

CONFIRMED - It does not show in Edge.

Though Microsoft will be killing Edge engine this year (2019) and using the Chrome engine instead to run their Edge browser. Which basically means that what works in Chrome, will work in Edge, at some point this year....

I'll check with Marcos to see what is needed to fix this issue.

Hi, I"m using the Chrome browser on Windows Vista, (OK you can stop laughing.) it worked quite well until the recent
update. The beta game page looks fine, after hitting the turn button I could see the hazed out map loading then heard
a chime as if the game loaded, the "begin turn" button read: it is your turn, and would not advance from there. I tried
reloading several times with the same result.
But wait, it got worse, when I tried to load a beta game yesterday it caused a total shutdown crash.
my machine recovered and the regular game engine is working fine.
Thanks for the response.
