GearCity 1.18.4 Progress Thread

[Eric.B]

Been a while since I updated this thread. I've been having some housing issues, thus I have spent the last few days doing more packing than programming. This is not to say I haven't been working on the game, just the hours have been cut in half. This also would explain why my response time has been a little slow for my normal standards. Things should return to normal after 4th of July weekend.

So what have I done since the last update? I've merged the two lists for branch distribution into one. Removed the shipping and sales priority system from the game, redesigned the GUI for the branch distribution system, added a few more side panels information. Finished porting shipping distance to individual branch vehicles. Added a shipping distance lock system. Added a way to set all shipping distances of a branch from the branch menu (unless a vehicle's distance is locked.) Ported all these changes to the Mega Menu.

I spent most of the day working on the District Branch system. You can now View, Build, Redesign, Retool, and Close all branches in a selected district at the same time.

I've started working on the Distribution system for the districts. Once this is complete I'll need to work on the shipping system for districts as well as the district shipping lock and a way for the user to create their own Districts. So 1.18.1 is getting pretty close to being ready. My goal is to have it ready by 7-10, but don't quote me on that. 1.18.2 will probably be nothing but bug fixes since I've got a pretty sizeable backlog growing now.
