Any release ETA?
I would say next Friday, but I plan on launching the Linux build. And as with any major update/release I'll probably be flooded with tech support stuff...
So I would say the week after next assuming all goes well.
I have finished both the military contracting requests and civilian contracting requests. I do have some simulations to run, but that would put me at about half way finished with the contracting system. (Although not quite, since most of the work is in the back end I believe.)
-Peace Time Military Contracting Requests
-Civilian Fleet/Component Contracting Requests
The 1.16.1 Linux build will becoming out Friday the 24th!
While I didn't get much done Sunday other than play testing, Saturday and tonight (well technically last night and very early this morning) has been very productive.
-Finished Contracting GUI (Phone menu)
-Contracting Filtering
-Added details to Contracting Selection screen
-Switched fonts to DejaVu (Which is also cross language as well!)
-Fixed bug in config files which has been causing recent crashes for people who haven't played in a while.
Contracting is nearly done. With the GUI in place and functional, it's only a matter of submitting bids, having the AI pick which one it wants, calculating the results at end turn, displaying the results in the sales book, and do evil stuff to anyone who breaches the contract!
Still no ETA yet, but it should be ready before the end of the month.
Only 2:40am... back to cranking out code! :3
Sometime tonight I'll be launching the Linux build live.
As for 1.16.2 here's what I've done since my last status report:
-Player bid submission
-AI bid submission
-AI granting bid contract
-Fixed a button texture wrap bug
-Possible crash fixes to low end intel video cards due to GUI textures.
The contracting system continues to progress. I have to make the actual shipping of the contracted stuff. Display the information in the sales book. Include penalties if you break the contract, and a few other minor things. If there are no setbacks, 1.16.2 should be ready before next Friday.
Sorry for the delay, but big features such as this do suck up a lot of time... >.>
Really looking forward to contracts!
How are you going to handle controlling which countries contracts you can bid on during war time?
You don't want bmw building engines for British bombers but the Japs would be screwed without them!

There are two types of military contracts. Those generated during peace time and those generated during war time.
Contracts generated during peace can be filled by anyone.
Contracts generated during war can only be filled by company's who's headquarters are located in the nation that is generating the contract.
So no, you won't find BWM bomber engines in any British contracts generated during war.
The Linux launch went rather well. No hiccups (that I know of) so far. I'm not exactly sure how much of a boost in sales we got. But it should be enough for me to buy a Mac Mini and start the OSX port around 1.18-1.19.
I didn't get much programming done Friday morning, however I had a productive last night and Saturday morning.
Here is what I took care of:
- Automated Contract Shipping for players and AI (The game will pull from inventories before shipping to consumers.)
- Breach of contract penalties.
I started working on the revenue code this afternoon. Should finish it up tonight. After that It's displaying the info in the sales book, Limiting/Unlimiting production during war time (could be a pain to do), making memos, balancing, and bug fixing the system.
So 97% sure 1.16.2 will be out in the next 6 days.
Great! Looking forward to Mac Release will buy as soon as its out!
He's what I knocked out the last 2.5 days:
-Revenues generated from contract sales.
-Reorganized Revenue and Expense panels in salesbook
-"Revenues Generated by Contracts" list information in Revenues Panel.
-Contracts panel in sales book now displays current contracts you have and information about them.
-Reverted the button GUI bug back as it was causing crash issues on Windows...
I have to make it where you can produce military contracts during war, stick in a bunch of nanny messages, and do some balancing. Then contracting will be ready!!!
More stuff done:
-Military Contracts production enabled during war
-Contracting Nanny Messages and Memos
-Fixed AI cargo spec bug
-Fixed textbox overlap bugs
-Fixed research time rounding bug
-Added Scroll Bar to memos
I also did a whole bunch of little stuff for the contracting things. Which normally wouldnt' get a little tag in the changelog, but still took up a few hours.
I've got 3 things left to do. Then I'm play testing 1.16.2 for release!
-Factories automatically idle when when their host countries go to war. The exception is factories in your HQ country.
-You can no longer assign or adjust production in factories outside your HQ country during war.
-Updated video setting changer program (was causing crashes because it was lacking new features)
Uploading to Steam right now, 30-60 minutes of testing in Steam. Assuming no major bugs, 1.16.2 will be ready in an hour!
1.16.2 has been launched. Enjoy.
Think I'll take the night off, I'm pooped.
Here's what I took care of this morning and last night (taking this evening off)
-Table of Contents page for magazine
-Fixed division by zero crash in contracting sales book
-Fixed contracts that require less than 1 unit per month
-Fixed Vertical Line spacing issue for mono fonts in Linux
I started working on sound in Linux, hopefully we'll get it done by Monday evening.
+Fixed civilian fleet contracting engine size bug.
I've pushed a hotfix patch to steam. This patch fixes some of the bigger issues with contracting. However due to the timing, Magazines are currently disabled in this build. Sorry.
Here's what I did today:
-Linux Build now has Sound/Music!
-Editor's Message in magazine
-Some Magazine advertisements.
I start a bunch of magazine stuff tomorrow morning when I wake up. My todo list looks awesome!
Hopefully implementation isn't hard.
