[QUOTE="Luke, post: 171653, member: 602"] [b]PreBeta update 3 available![/b] PreBeta update 3 (PreBeta v1.2) is being released to the PreBeta testers. Thanks again guys for your feedback, and the very positive comments. You should find that basically any bugs reported to me are fixed, and most feature requests have been implemented. In short, expect to see it working faster and better, and if you had a problem, expect to see it fixed. Otherwise... let me know ! There are many little fixes, but, in summary, the main points are: [B]Speed[/B] There were a couple of complaints where slower machines were used. This related primarily to creating creatures and preparing an encounter round. I've managed to get a [B]significant speed[/B] increase. [B]BattleMap[/B] A little update window displays the name and status of creatures as you move the mouse over them, as requested. Also, we now use a color coding ( green=party, red=opponent, blue=diasabled/dead ). [B]Combat Management[/B] Minor issues that caused headaches have been fixed. Working your way through the rounds is now pretty slick and quick. Work has been done for proper sorting and selection of the next initiative creature, selecting and processing actions, confirming critical threats, rolling correct critical damage, and successful heal checks now turn "Dying" creatures "Stable" (a window also pops up confirming their own chance to stabilize between rounds, or lose 1hp). [B]Groups[/B] A highly accurate and comprehensive algorithm now calculates the EL (encounter level) of groups. This works much better than the DMG table, which is very limited. Very useful when preparing an appropriately difficult encounter for the party! [B]Top Recommendation[/B] Whether preparing an adventure, or playing in-game, get used to making double-clicks on the BattleMap to add creatures, and select "By List Grid". This offers unparalled speed for quickly creaturing large encounter groups for mixed races and classes. RPM will "randomly" spread them on the map, ready to go! If necessary, from there you can go and tweak any special equipment, skill, feat or spell requirements. Regards, [/QUOTE]
