Great job so far Valkirie!

Your excellent work caused me to "convert" from Vernam7's to your own....

So far, I have found only one bug.

When team color is set to random, the program doesn't seem to check for color redundancy.
Meaning, I launch a game with me and the AI, with colors set to random. Both teams ended up with the same color etc etc.

After installing the map pack that was linked above, it was somewhat stable but race selection would still randomly change....

I tested valkirie's tool for the first time and no problems through thorough testing. (with the same map pack and a manually installed 6.1 starcrack ai)

I'm going to keep checking in here, but for now it seems I'm sticking with valkirie until this is fixed

*update after further testing*

Selecting your race simply does not work.

Sometimes its random, sometimes it sticks regardless of restarting the map.

It doesn't matter if I select each teams races/colors etc. It's still completely random.

But then when I set the teams to random, the computer player gets stuck on whatever
the initial random choice was etc....

So, in a nutshell, race selection is all screwed up. Manually selecting a race doesn't work and neither does the random option.

WHich maps are you using? THey weren't edited with another launcher right? AI enabled maps? Have you tried original blizzard maps?

I used syk0's map pack as indicted in the first post.

Where do I get the official map pack? (I already tried the one linked under the A.I. section but the problem remains)

Great work guys!

I have encountered one reproducible error:

Any time I select Terran as my team, it's still randomized....

Also, I posted a pic to show you what the pink border is that many people are experiencing.

latest progress hope you like it, all the buttons cobos etc have mouse hover effects
and the player slots depenting on the map will be auto appearing up to 8 players!
as you see i am doing a lot of changes and thats why it needs time, after all we are have a RL ;-)

That looks fantastic!

Great work fellas....

Keep us updated.

still waiting for team and race selection 

He stated in an earlier post that it probably won't be released until tomorrow.

Also, in regards to the above posts, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with
"pink window edge" issue.

this is just a prototype of the basic v3.6.x User Interafece skeleton wea re working on.
small simple and w8 to see tomorrow with skined Controls in it!


thanks Artanis for warping in your talent!  



the pink areas are going to be trasnparent you will see your desktop etc, just like in 2.6.0 i hate plain boxes

Just a heads up, on the current launcher I DO see pink surrounding the window just like in the above pick.

Is there any particular reason or way I can fix this?

I've never seen this with anything else so I guess it's somewhere in the code etc.

Nice!

So many changes and you still expect it to come out today?

Keep it up man!

Hey dude , can you add an option to delete the replays  ?
Also shouldn't the install come with the maps allready ? you have only like 2 maps or something I have to add them myself.
Looking forward for 3.0.0 , keep up to good work. Hope you release it not too long after 6.1 AI gets out.

Yeah, you should just package it with syk0's map pack....

Will you be working on being able to use the regular maps instead of the AI ones like the newest launcher?

yeap! but first we exp on any AI map, thnk god there LOT of them out there! ;-)
and i have found a solution to keep the map stracture intact after a game and you can replay the map normaly with any race you wish, the damn color give me a little hard time at the momment after that i am going for the UI and addin some bug fixes and new features like deleteing maps and replays from within the tool! also i made all custom maps/replays automatic and workable !


and when all those are done we are going for the standar maps...first things first....no need to panic




p.s damn this moderator stuff, i keep editing other peoples post insted replying, damn button! grrrr

Yeah, just be sure and let me know when its time to switch map packs. (I'm using syk0's pack right now)

How is race selection moving along?

I love your launcher (especially how it'll let you update online etc) but when can we expect the ability to select our race instead of just relying on random?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

i am working on that, hoping sometime untill tommorow will be ready, but so far the process is "unstable" in all launcers arround as you will notice, we dont want to destroy a map every time you play it, and then you cant again, because here is almost 5:00 in the morning and personally i need some rest to clean my head, i will not rush out any version that i dont feel confortable with.


when the race and color selection gets more stable and map-safe, the version will be out. hopefully in the next 24-48 hours.


personally i feel its not who does it first but who does it best 

I agree completely.

The main reason I've stuck with your launcher is its professionalism.

I look forward to the next version when you think its ready. (Hopefully very soon heh)

*thumbs up*

Who should I try and contact to test out the private server??
