Update on Progress

[razanon]

Thx a lot for creating that game, Steve.
Steve, can you free your game now? at this state? here in Spain just called the "State of Alarm" and having your game to spend that 15 days enclosed at home, will be like a cure.

No, its not ready yet. I've just spent a week in the UK collecting my new motorhome, so I need to run my new campaign, test diplomacy, create an install program and get the obfuscation working in the new two weeks.

I just fired up VB6 Aurora to check something, which I haven't done for a while. It feels incredibly slow and clumsy compared to C#. I can't click-drag the map, I can't use mouse-wheel zoom, windows actually load rather than open instantly. I hadn't realised just how much an improvement C# is in terms of simple usability.

This is music for my ears!

There are no games i am looking more forward to than this c# game!

That kind of teasing is just mean. 

By the way, with everything going on at the moment are your caravanning plans going ahead at the end of the month?

For those not playing VB6 maybe. Otherwise it's just mean hearing about how much better something is over what we're playing. hehe 

Kidding aside, it is good to hear the change is so apparant.

Yes Santa, yes. Now stop teasing us!! I bought yet another Steam game yesterday, but to no avail. I need Aurora C# !!

Did you get back before the mandatory quarantine for everyone travelling to the Island? I'm not sure which answer would be preferable.

Yes, we got back on Friday. Quarantine starts today. However, I have just moved to working from home full time from today anyway. I normally just use my work laptop when working at home, but as I am now doing it full time our facilities department is going to deliver my office-based computer equipment to my home.

I've updated the medal window to include an abbreviation column. Commanders will be displayed where appropriate with the medal abbreviations following their name. For those medals that you don't want in the list, such as campaign medals, just leave the field blank.

How goes the underlining prep work for the distributable?

Everything still looking good for the rough target of a week or so from now?

I haven't even looked at the exe yet. My plan is to keep testing and tweaking up to Friday next week, then spend the weekend creating and testing the install and doing the obfuscation.
