Beta v1.2.2 released

[admin]

Hi guys

the new beta has been released. You should be getting your mails any time now. The server will now be updated to require v1.2.2.

Download the beta from www.slitherine.com/files/fog/storm_of_arrows_1.2.2.exe

Please note this will only work as an update to v1.2.1, so dont bother trying unless you are already part of the beta

The main changes in this version are:

* Rules Change: Impetuous charge moves are now adjudicated as you attempt to move or shoot with a unit and for outstanding units at the end of the player turn.
* Add: Battle of Roosebeke 1382AD.
* Add: Battle of Agincourt 1415AD.
* Fix: All reported issues in the beta forum other than some issues with stakes.
* Numerous fixes to impetuous charges to prevent units charging when they should not because of fortifications, out of terrain, in to elephants etc.
* Change: UI: When a game ends in one player resigning, this is now more obvious in the victory window.
* Change: Heavy Heavy Foot changed to Heavy Arm, Heavy Foot.
* Fix: KeyNotFoundException in uiplayer.s.armygenerator.GameStartData.CreateUnitData
* Fix: Null pointer exception in uiplayer.s.armygenerator.ArmyGeneratorWindow.DisplayArmySpecLeaders
* Fix: Logic: Units were being prevented from shooting if they had a pursuit target which was no longer adjacent to them.
* Fix: Army generator: General unit images were being shown instead of dismounted.
* Fix: Army generator: Dismounted troop spec info was not being shown correctly for allied unit blueprints that allowed dismounting.

Enopy!

I would have thought you made a typo for "entropy" but the rules change for impetuous/anarchy charges ought to decrease the rate of entropy increase in the universe! Sounds like it should be a really worthwhile rule change

In the future, could you make the installer ask for a directory before trying to install? I have a problem because I have both the Beta and the regular version installed. As I installed the regular version second, the installer looks at it and says that I cannot install the storm of arrows patch. Right now I am installing for a third time, so I can make the Beta the latest install and thereby have the patch recognise it and install appropriately. I imagine when you release the next patch for RoR, I will have to install for a fourth time, unless something is changed.

EDIT: I have two installs because I want to be able to continue my multiplayer games from RoR.

Its designed not to let you do it to avoid people installing to the wrong location. We'd have to override it for the beta. Not sure if its possible as it might cause issues but if we get a chance we'll look.

Thanks for the update and grumblefish, i have 2 installations for FoG because i am in a tourney and can say that dont have any problems, there was a post opened when beta was released and explain how do to have 2 games working at the same time, i have FoG in F: and SoA Beta in D: but i notice now after read your post that the installation of Beta is over the last directory where you install FoG not over the first installation ooo and i created another directory for second installation in direct access section do you do it or use the original directory???.

Downloaded beta but it wont install:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
The installer cannot install the upgrade patch because the program being upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch updates a different version of the program.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Patched using matrix patch.... any advice?

[IainMcNeil]

You must have Beta v1.2.1 installed already - do you have this?

[PunkReaper]

Ok seems I didn't get original e-mail re version 1.21

"Please note this will only work as an update to v1.2.1, so dont bother trying unless you are already part of the beta "

but have received the one about version 1.2.2

Any way of getting original e-mail?

[PunkReaper]

Does this mean I can't take part in the beta???

[IainMcNeil]

How did you get the mail - was it by Private message or by real e-mail?

[PunkReaper]

Real e-mail :

Dear Beta Tester,

An updated Beta version of Storm of Arrows is now available.

We have had a number of people report they did not receive their beta mails so
we are trying a new approach. We will not be putting any links in the mail.
Instead you will need to go to the beta forum where there will be a link to the
updated beta patch.

Your personal serial for Storm of Arrows Beta serial is :

etc....

Not to sound like a broken record, but would it be possible for those of us who didn't get original emails re: SOA Beta to get version 1.21 PM'd to us?

I got PM re: v1.22 but after downloading I got similar message as previous poster when trying to install.

Thanks

[PunkReaper]

Any answers???
