Looks interesting! GJ! Destroyers really were too OP

[klapmongool]

Sounds good, thanks for all the work!

[Floris]

you forgot to mention the added "CameraFlip" widget that flips the map/camera with ctrl+f

[Silentwings]

Made 7.83 to fix a bug in the console related to joining after gamestart.

@Floris: Ops! Changed keys to ctrl+shift+o and added to changelog.

@people who don't use Red Console: You will see two death messages per team died until 95.0 comes out. Copy the code from gui_red_console which masks the engine death messages. (This is only needed until Spring 95.0 comes out.)

Thanks for all the work and the quick updates

may be add Nano Turret and Advanced Fusion Reactor to Advanced Construction Kbot and another t2 construction.

Is there the possibility to update the mod info on http://balancedannihilation.org/modinfo/ to the current version? Or is it much work or the person who made this gone?
Or are the scripts -I guess it was made with a script- available so I could do a local version?

I know I can also check values in the unit scripts, but the web page is just a very convenient way to quickly check and compare unit stats.

[Silentwings]

At the moment its not possible to update those pages (they are years old now) because the auto-generate tool that made them is out of date and not compatible current modfiles; it can't read lua weapon/unitdefs or _post defs. It would be a bit of work to do the upgrade - if you feel like doing it then now is your chance to say so

[qray]

I am no expert, but I can at least have a look if I can do something.
So where can I find it?

[jamerlan]

Is it possible to rotate minimap too on camera flip? I like that widget but not usable without flipped minimap

Were loadscreens from prev release removed? They were awesome too!

[Silentwings]

Were loadscreens from prev release removed?

No

Is it possible to rotate minimap too on camera flip?

No (at least, not that I know of, but I'll see next time I do some work on it). It would very confusing if the minimap rotated to match the non-overhead camera modes so I think its never been implemented.

In this version MexUpg Helper dont work.

In this version MexUpg Helper dont work.

This is not useful as a bug report...

To report a bug, please give a description, what is going wrong and how it can be reproduced.

I updated the script, now its available at:

Thanks a lot for this update!

I pm'ed with Silentwings to make a working script and had started a bit (though still far from finished). Seems, like it is not needed anymore...
Did you include also the post definitions in this mod info, or are these the plain values from the lua file unitdefs?

[Beherith]

Qray, these do no contain unitdefs-post. If you would like to add support for them, here is the script that generated the html files:

http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balatest/changeset/1625

Your easiest bet to add post would be to re-export the unitdef .lua files from ingame lua and use those as input to the script.

Thanks for the info, Beherith!
I'll see if I can cook something...
