I don't see the DeleteObject(id) fix in the patch notes...

[pipfromslitherine]

You are correct - I don't list every single fix, although this list is more exhaustive than usual it's true. But rest assured it was fixed .

Cheers

I got the Ipad version via test flight

For user scenarios, it says to upload an .lst file; Where would those be, all the created scenarios do not have a file with that extension

Other
- Were unit merge and swap supposed to be in 2.06?

No other issues in single player games

[pipfromslitherine]

The link at the bottom of the patch notes takes you to a page explaining how to create LST files - they are basically a metafile allowing you to link your scenarios into the system. If you have any issues with it, or if it's not easy to understand, then please open a thread on it and I'll do my best to help .

New orders for merge and swap are not part of the update.

Cheers

Thanks... to bad about the merge and swap..

As for creating .lst files; I looked at that page on how to create them; at first glance its above my skill level....

[pipfromslitherine]

It's generally intended that the people creating the scenarios will create a LST file that goes with them - then you just enter the url of the LST file and you get all the campaigns in the file listed ready for download.

What was it you were attempting to do? I'm happy to do a walkthrough with you.

Cheers

Having never created a scenario I dont think a walk-thru would help.... I also have been testing the MP on the 2.06 beta, no issues

Great news, I will use the new download system to distribute my campaign as it is close to playtesting. Will also check if the AI units get less stuck after the update, having a hard time understanding why some do not move.

I was trying to make the "Share Unofficial User Scenarios", it says

any campaigns need to be packaged into a single .CPF file. This is done by first enabling debug mode (add the DEBUGMODE 1 line to your USER.TXT file), and then you will see a new Slitherine button when you choose Editor from the main menu.

As we don't still have the 2.0.6 for Mac, I tried to used the button existing in the 2.0.5 but seems to do nothing...

[pipfromslitherine]

It should create a CPF file in the ~/Documents/My Games/BBCBA/CAMPAIGNS folder.

Please open another thread if you have any problems. I'll try and put up the desktop versions today sometime. I have internal reports of some issues so I didn't want to inflict them on you guys.

Cheers
